Feels a bit weird to be writing a party recipe when there are no parties this year. Party of one? or two? Virtual parties? Next year? Maybe there’s something to be said for celebrating the little things this year. Like I have this bottle of

I’m in the process of writing a new cookbook, and inevitably, when I get into recipe development, I start thinking about when I was a kid, learning to bake. For me, as a cookbook author and recipe developer, one of the biggest challenges is creating

This cake has rapidly become my go-to when it comes to birthdays. Truthfully, I am kind of snob when it comes to baked goods. Despite the fact that my kid loves Oreos, we very seldom have them in the house. I prefer to send him

It’s Thanksgiving this weekend, and you know what that means… Tofurky for all! Okay, so not really… I’m not the hugest Tofurkey fan, but I am grateful for all the great vegetarian versions of holiday feasts out there that give me an alternative to the

You know what gets me really excited? Like, maybe it’s a little weird, I’m so excited? Fresh produce. Yup, if there’s one thing I love, it’s to spend some time browsing the farmer’s market. Going to a farm stand. It’s just so… wonderful. Fresh!   

Christmas Eve Fondue

I’m sure all of you have your own family-centric holiday traditions. Well, one of mine is a Christmas Eve fondue. I do love to fondue… I mean, c’mon, what’s not to like? Lovely, soft pieces of bread, dipped into warm, gooey cheese. You really can’t 

Pi Day Pie!

Pi Day Pie!

Tomorrow is March 14. That means it’s 3.14. 3.14 = pi (π) Pi = Pie. So it’s Pi/Pie day! Last week, I decided I’d crowdsource the most popular flavour of pie, and make that. Well, I got over 70 responses to my question “What’s your
