My friend Sawsan of Chef in Disguise made this bread last week and as soon as I saw it, I knew I HAD to make it. I’m still doing the no carb, sugar, blah, blah, blah diet, but my Mom’s husband was coming down for a visit and I wanted to make a special breakfast [...]

Italian Easter Cheese Bread

Moroccan Olive Bread

We’re back to the old grind as they say; 10 hours of laundry, and a little grocery shopping later I’m back in my kitchen ready to cook up a storm! Both JT and I picked up head colds while we were away; you know, the nasty, sneezey, sniffley, coughy kind? Chicken soup to the rescue! [...]

As you all may know by now, our trip to Morocco is fast approaching and are goal to cook Moroccan has somehow gotten lost in our busy lives. We still have so many of the flavours to sample. Our nephew, Brian is staying with us for one more week, and I’m sad to say that [...]

As you’ve read by now, I’m kind of on a croissant kick; I’m trying to master the art of croissant making and it’s going well. Sawsan over at Chef in Disguise originally inspired me to take on the lofty croissant! This is attempt number three. I’m using The Fresh Loaf recipe again, mainly because it [...]

Croissants. Sawsan over at Chef in Disguise inspired me to take on the lofty croissant. Usually I don’t feel intimidated by a recipe, but come on, these are like the French National Treasure! Could I possibly do them justice? Sawsan also posted a Julia Child video outlining each step. OK, I thought, I think I [...]
