With my recent strawberry picking exploits I ended up with a lot of berries. I didn’t want to make jam so I needed some ideas. I thought about doing some sort of strawberry rhubarb combo but that didn’t happen. As per usual I took to the interwebs to see what [...]
When I made pulled pork the other day, I thought it would be fun to make a potato salad to go along with it. Problem is, I rarely make or even eat potato salad. It’s not something that I usually get at restaurants except for when I do my yearly KFC [...]
This recipe and I go way back. I found it in Martha Stewart’s Everyday Foods magazine a few years ago and have been making it a few times a year ever since. It’s always on my list of “things to make with leftover ham”.
It’s really simple and fairly quick to [...]
So this is what I made with my cherries! I cracked open my Martha Stewart Baking Handbook and flipped through for various cherry recipes. I liked the idea of the Frangipane Galette. First of all, it has the best name! It just sounds magical. Secondly, it didn’t seem that complicated. And thirdly (can [...]
The other day I ended up with two boxes of strawberries. I love strawberries but I realized that I needed to do something with them fairly quickly before they went bad. That’s when I got the idea of strawberries and cream! I didn’t grow up eating whipped cream and probably had my first can [...]

Because I’m a NUT I decided to prepare xmas dinner all by myself. Not SUCH a big deal since it was only for three people BUT I totally got into the idea of having a full spread out of a magazine. And that’s what I did… and for the record it [...]
These bars aren’t new to me at all but have become part of my Christmas treat arsenal. For the past three years I’ve given these as a gift to my sister and she literally devours the entire tin every time.
I love that this combines two of my favourite desserts (coconut [...]
I have a slight obsession with Martha Stewart’s Baking Handbook. I don’t actually use it that often but I LOVE to read it. I’ll seriously just pick it up and flip through it like a magazine… and pretty much drool over the photos.
The other day I found myself wanting to bake [...]
