OK, you all know how much I love bacon. It is true; in fact, I think I might be addicted. You know you have a problem when your friends and co-workers comment that your recent blog entries have been lacking that element of bacon. Well, hopefully this post will right the wrong that I have been avoiding my bacon quota 🙂
I know you are wondering why I am posting another pumpkin recipe. I mean it is spring time, not the fall, however, after whipping up a batch of Pumpkin Maple Muffins; I had to find something else to do with the leftover pumpkin that was sitting in the fridge.
If you have been following along on my blogging journey, you have likely picked up on the fact that one of our favourite restaurants is The Keg. We really enjoy their steaks, they are always perfect, and not having a BBQ is a great excuse to go out for a delicious steak dinner.
One weekend, we decided to try to do steaks in the apartment. Now, we could have used our grill pan, but we wanted to try something different. So, to the internet I went, looking for steak dinner ideas. When I saw Beef Wellington turn up in my search results, I saw this as a real possibility.
This week I received a birthday gift from my good friend Kim. Kim is a fellow food blogger (Strawberry Ginger) and actually inspired me to stop talking about starting a food blog and to actually start writing!
For my birthday, she bought me the coolest gift ever, an actual stock certificate for Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia! Once I received it in the mail, I immediately went out looking for the perfect frame. It is now hanging in the kitchen! Awesome!!
BBQ season is just around the corner, so it is time to think of sweet and sticky sauces and messy sandwiches!
As I have mentioned before, just because we live in an apartment and don’t have a BBQ, doesn’t mean that we have to give up on the deliciousness of BBQ, we just have to improvise.
Another Friday is here! Normally I would want to wind down after a long week with a cold pint, especially since it is almost May, but Mother Nature has had a different plan for us, this week we had to pull our winter coats out of storage. Brrrr (we actually woke up to snow on Monday!)
Since cold pints on a patio are out of the question, I think that the brininess of a dirty Martini is more in order!
Chicken. You can cook it so many ways. It is delicious and healthy, but it is easy to fall into a routine when cooking this on a very regular basis. I came across this recipe on the Kraft website and immediately book-marked it and sent the link to my sister.
Jamie and I eat a lot of chicken (as you already know) so another recipe for our weekly repertoire is always good, but what caught my attention with this preparation was lemon. Yum, I love lemon, so I knew I had to try this one out 🙂
This post is for my good friend Jeff. When I started the blog he asked me if I would post a recipe that didn’t turn out. Well Jeff, this recipe was a bust!
Let me start off by saying that it is no reflection on the recipe itself. I just seemed to have a hard time following the instructions that were in front of me while I was preparing these Blondies
Jamie and I eat a lot of almond butter. (By a lot, I mean on average 3 – 4 cups a week!) It is so delicious and creamy, I find it irresistible. As you know, I bake a lot with peanut butter, but when it comes to our preference for eating, almond butter will always win.
I think that Friday night is the perfect pizza night! (well, actually I could likely eat pizza every day of the week, but Friday’s just seem a bit more right for pizza 🙂 )
If you have the time making your own pizza dough is pretty easy. Plus there are two obvious benefits:
