Two friends sharing food and their lives
So I am on a Oatmeal kick. No doubt about it! And I love oatmeal cookies! With two small children cookies are a much requested favourite in our home. Now I wanted to jazz up my recipe to make something a little more festive! Dried […]
I love asparagus! And so does my three year old. Every time we go to the grocery store he asks for asparagus. He loves it roasted and grilled, but will also will eat my asparagus soup. I’ve made this quite a few times over the […]
It’s fall!! Bring on pumpkin everything, and anything cinnamon scented! I love fall and my house smells glorious, thanks to this granola recipe. We’ve been working on a squash stuffed with goat cheese with candied pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries on top and I couldn’t […]
Everyone has a good family apple crisp recipe that is an easy go to for dessert, or a quick way to hide all the apples that started going off at the same time because you forgot about them in the back of the fridge. I […]
It’s that time of year again, when I go nuts for peaches. I did not disappoint this year and bought a case of them at The Cherry Pit at Calgary Farmers Market. Usually I eat most of the chopped up with sugar, on everything the […]
Over the weekend my family was in town visiting and I wanted to make them dinner for when they arrived. It’s already the start of September now and my Rosemary plant is doing really well but without too much time before frost comes I wanted […]
So yesterday I was at the grocery store and Hersey Chipits were on a two for one sale so I thought I’d stock up on few and spotted these Sea Salt Caramel ones and thought, “well I have to try those!” My excuse to use […]
My husband and I both love mushrooms, and truffle oil of course. I had tried truffle oil on dishes in restaurants before but friends of ours turned us on to truffle popcorn (so, so, so good) so I went on the hunt to find the […]
About 2-3 years ago my husband came back from his physical and told me, “I’m starting to have high cholesterol.” Truth be told my cholesterol levels had been getting higher the previous couple years. I did a little research and we decided to change our […]
This recipe is so easy to whip up and can made ahead of time. In fact it needs at least 3 hours to get the texture right and can be made as long as 36 hours ahead of time. It is a great summer no […]
I told my husband, ” I may even have time to make cookies today!” Usually he says something like, “Great”, but this time he asked me to make these Triple Chocolate Almond Cookies. I can’t blame him! They are nutty and delicious. When you bake […]
So I have two little pasta addicts in the house. If it is pasta they will eat it. Now I love pasta as well and it’s become my go to meal when I am cooking for the kids and I. No need to get too […]
Surprise, Surprise! Another oatmeal recipe. I clearly have a problem. Now these muffins are another heavier, heartier muffin recipe that is definitely more than eating cake. They have this beautiful chewy texture from the coconut and somehow are still a moist muffin. With a little […]
I’ve had these mint chocolate chips sitting in my pantry since Christmas time. I bought them to go in the hot chocolate bar I had set up for my cousins and nephew over the holidays. Needless to say they were passed up for more kid-friendly […]
So for a birthday treat we met a few friends at this amazing restaurant called Ten Foot Henry in Calgary and had this unbelievable starter with warm whipped Feta on grilled sourdough with roast tomatoes and dill! It was soooooo amazing and a must try […]
This makes a great base for a simple starter that can be paired with different toppings to provide some variety. It looks and sounds so much more difficult than it is! 1 small package goat cheese 1/4 cup whipping cream With your electric mixer, whip […]
So a few months ago I made an amazing soy and citrus glazed salmon. My dad even said that it was the best salmon he has ever had, so it got some pretty high praise. Now for me, it is not exactly a weeknight meal, […]
I’m not sure you will have caught on yet, but we are obsessed with oatmeal in this house. We eat it almost every morning, and rarely even have breakfast cereal in our home. But I might love baking with oatmeal even more! The texture it […]
Spring and Summer make me start wanting to eat salads. Surprising, I know, but something about the warm weather makes me actually desire something raw and fresh! One of my favourite salads is spinach and strawberry. Now I accidentally overbought sunflower seeds and I was […]
So I love Guacamole! So much! I used to think it was complicated to make, but about ten years ago I started making it regularly. This is recipe I landed on. It’s simple and fresh and zesty. It’s a good base recipe that you can modify […]
