This is a bit of a baking project for those of you willing to try them out. Don’t, as I did, start this “project” at 730pm on a Sunday night when you’re hoping to go to bed at a reasonable hour. Instead, you’ll end up wide awake at midnight, having just finished your completed cream […]

Taking (or Making) Stock
Okay, it’s been a while. Summer weather never seems conducive to cooking inside or baking for that matter. I am far more likely to get back to my cookbooks and try new things when I can’t be outside all day long. That’s how this recipe, or really lack thereof, came to be. Canadian Thanksgiving was […]
What to Cook: July
Well, none of the items that I planned on making in June really panned out. That’s to say, I made the garlic smeared bread bites and they were just okay, but nothing overly special. We had them as our main and they were kind of a lot of work. I don’t enjoy cooking dinner and […]
Crumpets
This is seriously THE easiest recipe for using sourdough discard. Crumpets are pretty on brand for me. Making crumpets in the morning seems super productive and also a bit pretentious, so of course I’m doing it. If people knew how ridiculously easy they were to make using sourdough discard, they would not be nearly as […]
Quick Dessert
This cake is great when you’re short on time. It doesn’t even need fresh fruit, frozen works great. It only takes ten minutes to prepare. I don’t know what else you’d want in a dessert, especially when it’s hot out and you’re trying not to run the oven for long periods of time. The recipe […]
A Stress-free Dinner Option: Keema
I think if there’s one positive to come from what’s going on right now, it’s that many of us seem to be wasting far less food. I don’t particularly enjoy leftovers, but I’m trying to really ensure that I’m not letting my produce go to waste and that I’m repurposing some of my previous meals. […]
A Series of Salads: Rotisserie Chicken
Day 5 of the Social Distancing Experiment here. My to-do list now includes purging my closet, reorganizing my kitchen, and cleaning out my fridge. Having a baby has made me highly efficient though, so that should take all of about 3 hours. I’m going to try in my forthcoming posts not to even reference the […]
A Series of Salads: Butternut Squash Edition
Before the world completely changed last week (#flattenthecurve), I had decided to challenge myself to find interesting salads. I don’t LOVE salads. I don’t know many people that do, but that’s besides the point. Salads can be a real drag and I wanted them not to be. Anyway, the world’s all weird and instead of […]
I don’t know much, but I know I love stew
Greetings from maternity leave! Things are settling down here a bit now and with that, I’ve been able to cook a lot more than I was when I was working and busy trying not to vomit while pregnant. Without further ado, let me tell you about one of the best recipes I’ve tried in a […]
Posh Pasta
If it isn’t obvious by now, I live off grains. I could sustain myself on a variety of grains or pastas with an assortment of roasted vegetables. My husband on the other hand, really only wants meat. He’s a good sport and humours my would-be vegetarianism fairly frequently, but it’s not often that I make […]
