A year and a month ago, I announced the birth of my sweet niece, Mia Jean, in a post entitled Cookies For Mia Jean. The gist of it was that all the rules go out the window as you fall head over heels in love with something so pure as fresh from the oven babyness.

Now aren’t these just gorgeous!?!?! Like really glowingly beautiful in all their vibrant redness. I was so excited about this baking adventure for many reasons. I was going to use fresh grated beets in the batter, I was going to use millet in a muffin for the first time. I had some fresh cranberries in there and I was so psyched that I was going to have the most amazingly unique valentine’s day recipe ever.

Everyone loves home baked cookies. And they really don’t take much time at all.
You mix the dry.
Chop a little chocolate. This was Green and Blacks dark chocolate with crystallized ginger in it.
Throw a couple blobs of cookie dough on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
And just like that, fresh home baked cookies are served.

Happy Wednesday my healthy-food-lovers and healthy-food-lover-wannabes. What a perfect day to bake some bread.
Really? Is it though? Why does today become the perfect day to bake bread when the perfect day has yet to come along in the last 31 or so years? Well, I actually made this amazing fresh baked loaf of bread over the holidays when I had time to play in my kitchen and read other people’s blogs, something I LOVE to do, when time permits me the luxury.

A couple of weeks ago, I escaped the city with a gaggle of girls (and the men that stick close to us) to an orchard that was ripe with raspberries, apples, squashes and fresh corn on the cob. I came home with loads of freshly harvested squashes (recipes to follow soon) and indulged in a little fresh off the land, corn on the cob. Corn is a tricky thing for me to eat. Not because it gets all stuck in that annoying wire I have cemented to the back of my top and bottom teeth, but because it is like my fear food.

There are two ways that I come up with recipes.
1. I am bored and want to play and since my home is really a giant kitchen, that is where a lot of playing happens.
2. I bought something thinking I would do something with it, it moves towards the land of rotten and I get desperate and start searching for something to do with it.

I don’t eat a whole lot of grains, at least not when I am cooking a meal just for me. I am usually pretty happy with some bean/lentil type soup and some salad and veggies. After one of my cooking classes, the Asian Inspired class as part of the 4-week and 6-Week Cooking Program, I [...]

In honour of one of Toronto most vibrant festivals of the year, Scotiabank Caribana Festival, this week is dedicated to the flavours and spirit of the part of the world I love best, the Caribbean.

As soon as I sampled the treat that was the Strawberry Rhubarb Cake last week, I immediately began thinking of all the other ways I could use the moist and cakey base. With local tomatoes and basil in abundance, I thought, Hey, why not take this cake to Italy and call it bread, or Tomasil [...]

This post could have been called Muffins for Melanie and Massages for Meghan, but in keeping with my theme that was started by Cookies for Catherine, I kept it short. Melanie Leeder rocks my world. Actually… no. What she really does is calms it way down. I am forever showing off the awesomely cool ladies [...]
