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 [...]

Many people think that eating healthfully means eating without flavour or excitement (remember the cottage cheese diets?), but I am here to declare that they are WRONG! It’s particularly important for low fat recipes to be seasoned properly, and I’m not talking salt, but a variety of flavour builders. When you eat low calorie, fat [...]

Now that I see it in writing, I must say that the name of this post might be misleading…but I like to be cheeky that way, so I didn’t change it. Oops! Nancy is a friend and a food stylist I have known through work for several years. She is an accomplished chef, restauranteur and [...]

We love cheese; any kind; all kinds; every kind of cheese. Gorgonzola is one of our favourites but we seldom ‘treat’ ourselves because it’s just too expensive calorie wise. Last week as a very special treat, I noticed a very tiny amount in the refrigerator…hmmm, was JT even going to tell me about it? The [...]

To accompany the navy bean ‘risotto’ on our ski day, I was inspired by Sawsan’s Scone post and decided a scone would be the perfect foil for the beans. I was also inspired by Kristy’s Maple Bacon Biscuits to change up Sawsan’s recipe and add some good old fashioned maple syrup! I am happy to [...]

I’ve got Christmas music playing in my head; you know that ever so irritating, stupid song about the shoes (there I said it!)…make it stop! Sorry if I offended you, I just really hate that song. We’ve just finished a marathon Christmas project that spanned over the last two weeks and someone thought it would [...]
