I have returned from a long, very long, break from blogging.  A break that was more or less forced upon me by the weight of finishing a degree, completing a practicum, and organizing my life to such a degree that would allow for blogging, photography and cooking.... (how I have missed these creative outlets!) Although I have been meaning to return to the proverbial blogger home all on my own, I

I am.  And I would love to show them to you all, yes, all of you, who have been, or have not been checking this sadly neglected blog for signs of life, signs of cooking, signs of anything really.. and here is a sneak peak of good things to come...

Every once in a while I have the urge to have a simple one-dish breakfast that is more glamorous than cereal and less laborious than pancakes, bacon and eggs.  Scones my dear friends, are the answer to that breakfast dilemma.  You will almost always have EVERYTHING you need already stock-piled in the pantry and chilled in the fridge, and if not, if for some reason you don't always have heavy

This is most certainly a make-ahead recipe.  And before that scares you off, think about the HUGE benefit of a "make-ahead" dish.  Time.  Anything that lets you get away with preparation ahead of time is golden!  Food that can sit in the fridge or freezer for a couple of days before it needs to be served is perfect for entertaining, perfect for busy schedules, and in this case, perfect for

My "deer" husband took out a lovely, brown-paper wrapped parcel of sirloin tip venison steaks from the freezer the other day with the hopes that I, his lovely wife, would figure out a way to prepare and cook them.  After searching the Internet and a few wild game cook books that I have on hand, I arrived at what can only be described as a combination of various ideas and recipes that seemed to

Last night I had the pleasure of attending The Erotic Anguish of Don Juan at the Roxy Theatre  with Akemi, a good friend of mine.  The play was a fusion between artful puppetry and whimsical acting that produced an interesting and oddly comical representation of the world's greatest lover in Hell.  Of course, one cannot go to a play with an empty stomach, and after a glowing recommendation from

The leftovers are long gone, there are no roasts thawing in the fridge, my recipe books are still neatly tucked away and there are certainly no dinner reservations.  Even though it is only 10:53 a.m., I am already plagued with the question that I ask everyday, "What's for dinner?"

I am so sorry that this is the only photo of this recipe, that the lighting is harsh, the colors are less than appealing and my styling abilities were all but present last night.  Aside from all that, and aside from the fact that you can see the uninspired gold and white mottled Aborite counter-top beneath the bowl, I had to post this photo, and subsequently, the recipe.  Even now, just the

Crusty, light, chewy, slightly sweet and airy bread... ... all starts here.  A few sandy grains of sleepy yeast, a pinch of shard-like sea salt and a tad of crystalline sugar.  Add a little warm water, and voila, chemistry right in your kitchen.   You don't have to be an accomplished alchemist to transform a few simple ingredients into culinary magic.  Let me tell you a tale...

In the words of one of the world's most renowned poets, "how do I love thee, let me count the ways..." What better sentiment for a day destined to be filled with fanciful mementos of tenderness, boundless passion and excitement and above all, weather you're single or not, looking for love, searching for friendship, cherishing the partnership that you have or mending a heart that was once broken

Snacking has become somewhat of a past-time in our house of late.  Busy weeks of school and work give way to lazy, slow-paced evenings of relaxation, television and the occasional dinner out.  When faced with these fleeting moments of free time to relax and do more of what we WANT to do than HAVE to do, snacking on less-then-healthy indulgence foods often tops the list.  In light of this

In my world, and I am sure in most worlds, birthdays are a special celebration of life and love.  When we celebrate a birthday, we are marking the day that someone we love, someone we share a friendship with, someone we share very brief moments with, was born.  Although many people in my life would rather not celebrate their own birthdays, I am of the firm belief that birthdays are not ONLY

Some would say that one good turn deserves another, and my husband and I would have to agree!  Living in a new neighborhood exposes you to a whole variety of new experiences, different people and random acts of kindness you might not necessarily expect from perfect strangers.  Jeff lives only a couple houses down from us and has take it upon himself to use his camouflage ATV to clear the snow

Faced with yet another dinner to cook and no ideas in sight, I felt it was time to step out of my traditional protein comfort zone and hit the vegetables hard.  I had been eyeing up a mushroom-bean burger recipe in The Vegetarian Bible and finally decided to take the plunge.  While I used the recipe as a mere guideline for my own interpretation of the burgers, it was nice to have such a simple

When I think of candy stores, I imagine rows upon rows of sparkling jars filled with jellybeans, chocolates and gumdrops, display cases chock full of nostalgic treats and hilarious novelties, twinkling lights and a general sense of amusement and childish fun.  Local candy stores have fallen short of my expectations, until now.  Tucked neatly between aged Whyte Avenue buildings, Coney Island

So I decided this afternoon that while I was already out having my tire repaired (an altercation between my tire and a nail had occurred and the nail had inevitably won...) that I would pick up a couple of items I needed to slap together a spinach and mushroom lasagna...   I was inspired by a recipe that I saw in The Vegetarian Bible entitled Spinach Lasagna, and I knew that I could use the

At the end of a long day, the last thing you want to do is search your pantry and fridge without any idea of what you are going to cook for supper.  Most of the time we are too busy with out daily schedules to pre-plan and organize for our weekly meals and we fall prey to fast-food line ups and frozen dinners.  Let me tell you that this does not have to be so, and that simply thinking outside

My husband and I have been making an effort to lead healthier lives lately. We've been walking the dogs twice a day, steering clear of fast food, eating leaner meats, more fruit and trying to have vegetarian meals as often as possible. So far, we are making some pretty impressive progress and along the way, we have stumbled across some fresh, fast and easy recipes that have pleased our taste

I realize it has been far too long since I have made these classic cookies, and I am further made aware of that fact by these old photos which were taken in our old house on 101 street long before we made our move back to St. Albert.  All I can say about these delectable treats is that their flavor and texture drum up nostalgia that harkens back to the days when helping grandma bake extended no

Oh and these must be on your next dinner party menu... so good, they might be illegal...Velvety smooth and tangy goat cheese mixed gently with tart and intense sun-dried tomatoes fill these airy profiteroles dressed delicately with a lemony, garlic infused herb oil... a feasting fusion of French and Italian fare that will knock your socks off and pop open the top button of your pants!

Coming soon, still in the oven!Crunchy coconut and brown sugar topping envelopes a light, but dangerously moist egg based cake... unbelievably great, unbelievably easy... there's a reason it has been in our recipe repertoire since jadeite glassware and gingham aprons....

Little Buffy... not sure what we've gotten ourselves into yet...Oh my, between new house demands, the demands of a new puppy and a demanding new job, I have been so busy I have neglected what little reading base I have, and I thank all (five?)of you for your patience, I will however be providing a remedy for the recent posting drought in the form of numerous posts about recent food exploration,

Many nights ago, in yet another attempt to get me to watch a famed french Movie called Amélie, Tikina my dear sister and friend, and Lisa, a dear friend and sister, decided to plan an evening soiree of Parisian food and film. Unwilling to show up empty handed, I figured that I could whip up a quick apéritif to satisfy the french mood we had all slipped into.   Any recipe with more than one type

Now I must admit, when it comes to my breakfast, anything, I mean absolutely anything goes.  Spaghetti and meatballs, leftover pizza, if it is in my fridge, it is on the menu. Although my taste buds are accustomed to an often bizarre and backwards morning diet, I thought I should refrain from subjecting my recent houseguest (my kid sister) to an atypical breakfast courtesy of the cave which is my

If you were expecting 'Mac 'n' Cheese' or something to that effect, I apologize now, because this post is simply not about food although still about something delicious, and that is Mac.  Our beloved, loyal, goofy, cat-chasing, skunk-farting, sensitive, bewitching, overly-dependent, cuddly,frisbee chasing, dog-wrestling, mamma's boy dog who has wormed his way so deep into our hearts I don't think

When baking, by mixing 1 tablespoon of vinegar with 1 cup of milk (skim, 1%, 2% or whole) you can create 'sour milk' which can be used in a pinch as a substitute for buttermilk?

So, the other pie destined to grace the dinner table this easter is the mighty lemon meringue... a tart and sweet treat with an untraditional crust and fluffy meringue to boot!Now, I will admit at the moment that even though I usually make this pie from scratch, I have cheated this time all in an effort to produce the most baked goods in the shortest of time, I mean come on, I was baking french

  I volunteered to bring a dish to the big ol' family dinner this Easter, and was subsequently re-volunteered to make pie. Although making pie is something that I can admittedly do blindfolded, I am not so good at capturing the various likes and preferences of a wide variety of people, much less a group of eight family members in a mere two pies.So, to deliver a pie selection that will hopefully

These photos are backwards... not sure why, but I do know that no matter how backwards the photos are, this recipe is most certainly NOT backwards...My husband and I were discussing our Saturday morning breakfast options wherein he put in a request for french toast.. And how could I resist that suggestion... light, buttery toasts, washed with eggs and milk and a hint of cinnamon, topped with

Well... after talking about it for quite a while, I have finally acted upon my impulses and created a blog that merges two of my most favorite passions, food and photography (food photography...) I think, as I am still in the premature stages of blog creation, that I will start out by bringing my own recipes and food theories into the world... alongside the words, I will pop in a photo here and
