recipe

My daughter was home for spring break this past week and we made a list of things we wanted to do. Two of the items were ‘bake something’ and ‘do an experiment’. My girls wanted to decorate a cookie, but I didn’t want to make my basic sugar cookies as I just made some the [...]

Cheesy Beef Orzo Recipe

I’ve been really bad at meal planning lately. Last Friday at 3:00, I realized that I had no clue what we were going to do for dinner. Since our fridge was fairly bare, I didn’t have much to work with, but, it turns out, I had what mattered. After raiding the pantry, I threw this [...]

This is a great spice cookie that we usually enjoy during the winter holidays (autumn to Christmas). I found some nice looking persimmons while grocery shopping last week and since they are not grown in North America and rarely imported here during the warmer months, I thought I’d grab some and make these cookies one [...]

Seafood Stuffed Mushrooms

My first attempt at making stuffed mushrooms worked out so well, that I’m craving them again today. Since I don’t have all of the ingredients available, maybe just posting my recipe will satisfy my cravings. The filling for the mushrooms also makes a good dip either hot or cold.

Our ‘pizza nights’ usually coincide with our family nights. Everyone picks their toppings and I get to work making this dough.

Tomato Juice Recipe

Now that I am getting good at making juice, I’ve started to try out my own concoctions once a day. Today it was my own version of a V8 without any added sugars or salt. Now I’m not sure if my taste buds have just gotten used the taste of vegetables, but I really liked [...]

Cheesy Kale Dip

This recipe was a big hit at a recent event I attended with London Drugs. Chef Hans Pinto gave me permission to post it here for anyone at the event and for all of you who might like to try something a little different when entertaining. We are having a get together at our place [...]
