We are about to head off for our Christmas dinner. While we are used to home-cooked meals on Christmas Eve - ham, turkey or roast beef were the usual suspects - several years ago we just…. stopped making Christmas dinner for the two of us. There were so many things we wanted to make, but [...]
Before I started this blog, I was taking photos of our dinners. I posted a few of them to my personal journal, and got some good feedback. My husband took some of the photos to work to show his co-workers (and sometimes to help illustrate a particular recipe they were talking about), and the common [...]
Wow.
My husband and I have a list of places we’d like to try in Winnipeg. Restaurant Dubrovnik, 529 Wellington and Hy’s are all on the list. One of the restaurants that we’ve been noodling over for a while is The Velvet Glove. They boast a CAA Four Diamond Award, and frequently appear on “must-eat” lists [...]
I loooooooove chocolate chip cookies. The problem is that baking… Well, I like baking, but baking doesn’t like me. I always find a way to mess things up a bit.

Pop quiz, hot shot. You’ve got eight liters of freshly-picked strawberries and a lazy Sunday afternoon. What do you do?
Why, make salmon, of course!
…whut?
No, really! This month’s Foodtv.ca cooking club is making Smoked Salmon with Strawberry Salsa. I knew that we were going strawberry picking, so I decided
this would be a perfect dish to use [...]
My husband and I tend to eat well… That is, we eat healthy foods: lots of fruit and veggies, whole grains and fats in moderation. Our problem is in portion control. Part of the issue is that there are only two of us, and most recipies are designed for families of four or more. We [...]
