Mushroom Bean Salad Recipe

Living in Vancouver makes it pretty easy to drive down to America — the border’s close so it doesn’t feel like a huge production and Seattle is far enough away to feel like you’re taking a mini-vacation. Sometimes Mike…

Fennel Pork Meatball Recipe

I first had fennel sausage at Campanglolo, a fun, rustic Italian restaurant in Vancouver. The sausage was scattered on a delicious pizza with just the right amount of crisp and chew. The pizza was fantastic, but the fennel sausage…

Pineapple Guacamole Recipe

This sweet and spicy pineapple guacamole recipe is the simplest and best twist on guacamole ever. Everything you need, nothing you…

Churros Recipe

I don’t think I’ve every met anyone who doesn’t like churros. Deep fried dough rolled in cinnamon-sugar? What’s not to love?! Churros are best straight out of the oil when they’re warm and somehow manage to be crispy…

Chouquette Recipe

Biting into a chouquette is a little like biting into a soft, rich, eggy, cloud topped with crunchy sugar. My first taste of these slightly-sweet treats was in Nice, France. Tummy rumbling, Mike and I headed into a bakery.…

Bacon Jam Recipe

I love bacon. It was one of the few things I would eat as a picky child, much to the dismay of my mom. (Other choice items included plain white rice and Coco Pebbles). If they had bacon jam…

Mini Corn Muffin Recipe

Is it just me or is everything better when it’s miniaturized? Regular sized corn muffins are great too, but miniaturize them and you definitely have a hit on your hands. Especially when they’re studded with real corn and then…

Mini French Onion Mac and Cheese Recipe

My earliest memory of mac and cheese is of that magic (or horrifying) combination of neon orange powder and straight macaroni noodles. One bite and I was hooked. It’s been many years since I’ve had Kraft Dinner, but I’ve…

Cheesy, Saucy, Crunchy Handheld Two-Bite Mini Lasagna Cups

How was your weekend? We had a stat holiday here yesterday so I spent the weekend doing long weekend things – that is, absolutely no work and lots and lots of …

Raspberry Strawberry Watermelon Popsicle Recipe

It's Popsicle Week! Billy, over at Wit & Vinegar, came up with Popsicle week as an ingenious way to celebrate summer. When it's hot outside I don't think there's any better way to beat …

2 Ingredient Creamy Herby Garlicky Pasta

It’s carb-loading season, my most favorite of all the seasons! When the weather starts to turn chilly, you know it’s time to light those candles, grab those bowls, and eat …

Parsley Pesto Pasta with Broccoli and Salmon Recipe

Do you ever just wander around the grocery store until inspiration strikes? Sometimes that means I'm in and out of the store in five minutes, but sometimes it means I'll …

Mini Burger Recipe

When I was brainstorming ideas for the savoury bottom tier of our afternoon beer, mini burgers immediately came to mind. Mini burgers are the tiny tea sandwiches of the burger world. Super simple, super tasty. This is barely a…

Mini Twice Baked Potatoes Recipe

Potatoes are one of my favourite foods. So much so that I have received countless potato cookbooks as gifts. I’ve never actually made anything from these cookbooks though – one of the reasons why I love potatoes so much…

Fennel Pork Sausage Roll Recipe

Sausage rolls are simply delicious. The British were really on to something when they created them. Juicy sausage wrapped in flaky, buttery puff pastry is a perfect snack, either hot or cold. Apparently sausage rolls are a strictly UK…

Afternoon Beer

Confession: I have an unhealthy obsession with afternoon tea. I love the tiny sandwiches, the scones with clotted cream, the perfect miniature desserts and, of course, the endless pots of tea. I really feel like I could have afternoon…
