There are cookies that NEED to be baked:) We have been grilling out for dinner almost every night. One of our favorite summer meals is this Grilled Ratatouille Pasta Salad....
My toddler wants cookies like, all the time. Oh, it’s 6:40am and still dark outside? What a splendid time for cookies! So here we are with crazy easy breakfast cookies mostly naturally sweetened and totally dessert-worthy, too. Boom shaka laka! The texture of these banana oat breakfast cookies, inspired by my Banana Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, is totally lovely–soft and hearty. They’re just a wee bit sweet, mostly from chocolate chips, since the batter itself doesn’t have any added sugar....

Pizza is one of my favorite food. It’s the first thing I cooked when I got my oven. I love all kinds of pizza, thin crust, thick crust, Chicago deep dish or fusion style.

I got stuck there since I tried so many times but not satisfied with the outcome....

When I received his new book, Save with Jamie, I was delighted. I love all his money-saving tricks and tips and the fact that he makes expensive ingredients stretch over a few meals. This fish pie is one of those meals. Jamie advocates using frozen fish because as he says, why use beautiful fresh fish when you’re going to be using it in something like a pie? I differed from Jamie’s recipe slightly and used frozen hake and frozen haddock as I found the frozen salmon a little expensive....

We put up our Christmas tree and enjoyed lace cookies to celebrate the season....

I had the most brilliant idea ever....

And as always, I like my salads to have lots of flavour and texture. That way a ‘boring’ salad is more satisfying and less bland.
