    Six Best Easter Brunch or Dinner Recipes

    March 25, 2015 /

    It’s Easter brunch that always gets me. Well, to be truthful it’s brunch, period. Any holiday. When we have guests over and we have cooked the night before I am always hunting for some great ideas for Easter brunch or just brunch in general. That’s why I decided to pull these together – Here are the Six Best Easter Brunch or Dinner Recipes I could find. Easter is such a great time of year. Finally after months of snow we get a long weekend to celebrate with friends and family. Food is naturally a big part of that celebration. I often have the dinner part figured out (ham and scallops)…

    Best Fudge Recipes Roundup

    January 14, 2015 /

    Who doesn’t love fudge? I don’t know, but if you are one of the two people on planet earth who are not fans of fudge then don’t read any further. Fudge is one of my favourite treats. But I never ever get to make it. I had grand intentions of making some great fudge recipes this Christmas but time ran out and then we went on a cruise. Not complaining at all, but I think it’s time for a little dose of fudge. The yummy homemade kind. Nothing tastier than that! Hope you find something here you love as well. Some of these would be perfect for Valentine’s Day! 1.…

    25 Best New Year’s Eve Recipes

    December 28, 2014 /

    New Year’s Eve is just around the corner and whether you are a naturally gifted entertainer or not (yes there is such a thing) there’s a recipe for pretty much everyone here in this list of 25 best New Year’s Eve recipes. The key, I think, is to have a variety of options and not to stress out over entertaining. The food may be one of the biggest parts of your evening and your entertaining, but don’t forget guests are really there to visit with you. Years from now they will remember spending the night enjoying the company of good friends. They probably won’t remember what they ate. If you’re…

    French Onion Soup Recipe #100FootJourney

    August 8, 2014 /

    I don’t know about you, but one of my favourite soup recipes is French onion. I frequently order French onion soup for lunch when I go out. Sometimes it is very good and sometimes it is disappointing when big chain restaurants attempt the recipe using small scraps of cheese and croutons. If I see French onion soup on the menu I have to try it at least once. It makes me think of home and childhood. French onion soup was my mother’s all time favourite soup. Funny how food can conjure up a feeling, emotion or memory. That’s precisely the theme behind the the movie The Hundred-Foot Journey. Food as…

    Cute and Simple Owl Cake Pops – Cooking With Kids

    June 26, 2014 /

    Today, on the last day of school my kids shared some treats with their individual classes. My kids are both crazy about cooking and they also love cake pops. Together we decided to try to make delicious owl cake pops. So last night we made these owls. I am pretty happy with them and most importantly the kids were proud of these owl cake pops. It’s our last day of school here. Not only is it the last day of school though, it’s the last day ever at this school where my girls have been students since they were 6 years old. Due to crowded French Immersion schools in London, Ontario…

    Happy Easter Tarts

    March 22, 2013 /

    Easy to make Easter tarts It’s Easter and my kids are back in the kitchen, helping me cook. I know, it’s been a couple of weeks but here we are with our latest creation. Lime Meringue Easter Tarts. Nothing says Easter like citrus flavours, pastels and delicious tasty treats like jelly beans. So I thought I’d create a little love with Tenderflake Tart shells. They make baking easy. And baking makes most of us happy so therefore Tenderflake makes us happy. I wanted to make something super tasty and special for Easter with these Tenderflake tart shells, so I improvised. I really wanted the citrus flavours in there this time…

    Cooking With Kids – Turkey Stuffing Pot Pie

    TURKEY stuffing pot pie is a recipe I’ve had my eyes on for weeks. Yesterday we decided to give it a try. At one point somebody sent a flyer around with the usual Dempster’s promotions in it and I found this recipe for Turkey Stuffing Pot Pie. I thought it looked so yummy that I had to make it. The ingredients and instructions are perfect for tweens who like to help cook and Payton was eager to help. We ended up with two versions. The Turkey Stuffing Pot Pie can be served in individual ramekins so everyone has their own perfect Turkey Pot Pie. But we didn’t have enough of…

    Best Butter Tarts on the Planet

    April 26, 2012 /

    Butter tarts are one of my all time favourite treats. We have made these together many times here and every single batch of these quintessentially Canadian treats is an opportunity to experiment. There are so many variations that you can make when it comes to butter tarts. In fact we like our yummy Canadian desserts simple so the flavour shines through with every bite. We’ve dubbed these the best butter tarts on the planet and even writing about them makes me want to go grab the butter and sugar and start baking. Do not scrimp on the filling whatever you do. You can add walnuts or raisins or pecans, but…
