I have something to admit, last winter I tried making sugar cookies and failed miserably. I’m not talking “just didn’t turn out”, I’m talking “wouldn’t hold a shape, crumbled everywhere and generally tasted like crap”. After that little experience, sugar cookies have made me a bit nervous. Almost egg white nervous….yes, it really was that […]

Well… Looks like I have been forced to bake again for this weeks Julia Child recipe. This time it’s the Charlotte Chantilly with strawberries, a wonderfully creamy dessert encased in delicious homemade ladyfingers.

Loaded Portobello Mushroom
March 24th, 2012 · 4 Comments · Appetizer, Dinner, Easy, Healthy, Potato, Side
It’s time for another portobello recipe! This one is real easy and a great healthy platform for all those wonderful things you put on a loaded baked potato (which may not be so healthy!). I’m pretty sure you could put sour cream, bacon, chives and cheese on anything and it would taste awesome, so this […]

At work we have an Iron Chef Challenge once a month where a group of people cook off and have their dishes judged by a panel of fellow employees. This month’s secret ingredient is…. PESTO! Right away I knew I didn’t want to do something traditional with pesto, so I ventured off to what I […]

Mussels

Living in Vancouver and having so much great seafood around, I haven’t quite taken advantage of all the fresh local goods, but I changed that recently and decided to cook some fresh mussels! Other than a little hard work scrubbing and debearding all the mussels, they are very simple to cook. Check out the recipe […]

Hey folks! If you feel like indulging in an amazing, sweet, delicious and caloric breakfast this recipe is for you! Now I took the shortcut here and didn’t actually make the cinnamon buns since I live a block away from “Grounds for Coffee” which apparently has some of Vancouver’s best cinnamon buns, so I had […]

At work we recently hosted a bake sale to help out a fellow employee that was going through some challenging times within their family. The bake sale, 50/50 and donations all went to help this family out. As a new employee this really impressed me and showed how much the company truly is a ‘family’ […]

I made these cupcakes for St.Patrick’s Day – which also happens to be Bob’s birthday – so Happy Birthday Little Bro. These cupcakes were a bit time consuming but the attention they got was definitely worth it! 🙂
