Here’s a great Breakfast Muffin recipe. I like it because it has some whole wheat flour in it, and, the choice of flavorings can be anything you have in your pantry. I added a handful of dried coconut, dried blueberries and currants, as well as almond slices. I also made them in a mini muffin [...]
With the unbelievably tasty - and my new favorite condiment - Spicy Chili Crisp, and also with some Hummus and Thai basil garnish. Decorated for the picture with curry leaves and sesame seeds. Here is a fun recipe to try this weekend, especially if you are having company (within the guidelines of course) [...]
When life gives you lemons, exchange them for over ripe bananas then make this delicious whole wheat and all-purpose banana bread with toppings of choice. From the good folks at King Arthur Flour, I bring you this adapted healthy-ish (it has all-purpose and whole wheat flours in it plus fruit and dairy - you know, [...]
Truth be known, this is a recipe that called for rhubarb. Couple of things, I'm not growing rhubarb in my backyard nor have I bought any as I just saw this posted by Lucy Waverman, another Canadian food icon. It would be amazing with rhubarb, I can just taste the sour/sweet rhubarb blending in but [...]
This is another one of my favorite chicken dishes. Again using boneless, skinless chicken thighs, but feel free to use whatever cut you like and you can also do bone-in, but do make it skinless. It is a dish whose origins come from a cooking class my mother-in-law attended when in Uganda almost 50 years [...]
Well, Easter is a couple of days away. I know, it will be a different one this year. If you have your adult kids still living at home with you – that’s a good thing (did I really say that?!). They will be able to join in the celebration. I’ve heard some are going to [...]
Happy St. Patrick's Day! Have a drink when you get home today! I initially was looking for something to bake that would have a green element to it, but then I found this recipe. As soon I saw the ingredients, I just knew it would be a hit. At first glance it looks like an [...]
There are so many variations on the corn fritter. Some are thick and others thin, deep fried, pan fried and even baked (I know - really?!). This is a thin variation that comes out crispy and delicious right from the pan. Best served hot, but if you have to, room temperature works as well. The [...]
Pumpkin Spice Latte – I know, it’s been going on for years. I don't drink the stuff but I do like it in baking (I’ve just never liked flavored coffees - just black for me! ). But, in baking, that’s a different issue. Kids (just sounds better than “grown-ups) came over on the weekend. I thought a soup [...]
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again! We live in this fantastic wonderful country that allows people of different cultures to come together and celebrate each other and their special days. This weekend it's St. Patrick's Day - I for one, celebrate my Irish whisky - I mean roots, for 24 hours, and [...]
