I made a pumpkin pie last year and it was…just okay. Like, not the best pie I’ve ever laid mouth on. I shall attempt to master a pumpkin pie again this year when Thanksgiving rolls around but in the interim, we mustn’t be without pumpkin! Enter my celeb status pumpkin pie smoothie, the best way to use up pumpkin after baking Almond Flour Pumpkin Bread and Healthy Pumpkin Bars. Slow clap....

Allow me to introduce you to sweet n’ salty heaven. Today, we’re bringing the humble Brussels sprout back to life! The flavor vibes are at an all time high, folks. Caramelized to total perfection with a drizzle of pure maple syrup, buttery coconut oil, and a splash tart balsamic vinegar…sprouts don’t get much better than this. While I’m often partial to my Sweet and Spicy Almond Butter Roasted Brussels Sprouts or Goat Cheese Pasta with Brussels Sprouts, I’ve been craving going back to basics lately....

Updated April 28, 2011 Mix well. If needed add an additional ¼ cup of flour but not too much. Once the chips are in you can’t mix for too long so any flour you add may not get mixed in completely. 2 sticks of good unsalted butter. ( I use the Land o’ Lakes European style) 1 cup of white Sugar 1 cup dark brown sugar Cream together for at least 5 minutes....

Updated March 26, 2019 This post is sponsored by Frito-Lay. Nachos are one of our favorite party foods. We make them all of the time when we have people over because they are so easy to make and who doesn’t like nachos? Salty chips with lots of cheese and fun toppings are always a good idea. The best holiday nachos are Kettle Chip Nachos with Bacon and Rosemary. They are a little more gourmet and perfect for holiday parties....

In the original post I wrote the following: When I saw this recipe a whole truck-load full of memories swamped me and I had visions of bright colours, permed hair and my mom’s yellow and white polka dot heels. For me, this is the 80?s in a dessert. Sickly sweet, a little bit kitsch with its light pink and white marshmallows and bright red cherries peaking out but above and beyond all that, it’s charming....

Updated May 17, 2011 I don’t feel like food today, but hopefully you will enjoy this post:) Last week we made a Mexican Tofu Scramble and it was sooooo good!

Two thumbs up all around the table:) Tofu really takes on any flavor you want it to, so we went with Mexican....

Updated August 13, 2019 Caleb starts preschool next week. How did that happen? He is growing up too quickly! I will probably shed a few tears when he leaves me, but I know he will have a blast…and it’s only two mornings a week, so I should survive. Caleb is already wearing his his Spiderman backpack around the house and carrying his lunch box. He is ready to go! To celebrate back to school season, I made special muffins for Caleb, Mixed Berry Granola Muffins....

When I was younger I had this idea that frangipane tarts are hard work and that only experienced pastry chefs could pull them off. How silly I was. It could not be easier to make and I was so pleased with the end result. The frangipane had a subtle almond flavour, wasn’t overly sweet and worked perfectly with the sweet almost tart nectarines. I also loved how the nectarines go chewy from the time spent in the oven....

Updated March 26, 2019 Last week I made cinnamon roasted almonds. I highly recommend you try them. They are great to snack on, but the best way to enjoy them is in these cookies. I created an oatmeal cookie with cinnamon roasted almonds, cocoa nibs, and dark chocolate. They are loaded with goodness! In case you don’t know, cocoa nibs are roasted cocoa beans separated from their husks and broken into small bits....

In life, there are many pleasures. Some of them are over-the-top and elaborate and others are simple and humble. Proper, good roast chicken is one of those simple pleasures in my life and I have to tell you, I would choose a good roast chicken over an elaborate pleasure, any day of the week. I don’t know what it is about roast chicken that gets me the way it does but there are few foods I am as loyal to, as I am about roast chicken....
