The theme for this edition of “Weekend Breakfast Blogging is Express Breakfasts - i.e. delicious breakfasts that take 15 minutes or less to make. I was turned on to this method of cooking eggs by Bear, and since trying it this way, can think of no better way to do it. I added a little […]
After the storms blew through yesterday afternoon, it turned into one of those perfect days, with bright blue skies and just the right amount of breeze to complement the perfect 70 degree temperature. And it is one of those days that my new outdoor kitchen becomes an extension of my house, and I move all […]
For this week’s edition of One Local Summer, I made a recipe I’ve blogged about before, using as many local ingredients as possible. The chicken is from Speckled Hen Farms, the shiitake mushrooms from Toby Run, the onions from Two Crows Farms, the sour cream from Smith Dairy, the butter is Ohio Amish roll butter, […]
I don’t think there’s any other dish that’s as quintessentially Canadian as poutine, a comfort food dish that takes hot fries and tops them with fresh squeaky cheese curds and gravy. So when I found out about the Mmm…Canada blogging event, it was the first dish that popped into my mind to make.

The recipe for this week’s Tuesdays with Dorie is definitely a timely one, since I’m up to my armpits in berries of all sorts. So I was actually looking forward to giving this recipe for Mixed Berry Cobbler a try, to compare with my own recipe.
So for the filling, I went for variety and used […]
One of my favorite food blogging events to participate in is the Bookmarked Recipes event. You all know I love being inspired by other bloggers - so much so that I do a pretty extensive round up each month of the recipes I’d like to try. Unfortunately, there are only so many days in a […]
Ah, another weekend, another edition of One Local Summer. This week was tough for me on an eating local level - since I missed the farmer’s markets last week, I didn’t really have many local veggies to work with, so I made do with some locally produced products along with some local meat I had […]
The Apples & Thyme food blogging event asks us to celebrate the influence of our mothers and grandmothers in the kitchen. Needless to say, my German Oma (great-grandmother) has had the most influence on my cooking - I spent the formative years of my life standing on a stool next to her and learning everything […]
