I Crave It, I Make It, I Eat It! What's so crazy about that?
Welcome to Brunch Week. Today's recipe is a personal fave of mine. It's seriously over the top, decadent, and dripping with all kinds of things you probably shouldn't eat for breakfast. But it's for Mother's Day.... so who gives a flip about right and wrong. Mother's Day is all about being a rebel, doing all the things you shouldn't do all in one day. No? That's not what Mother's Day is about... hmm, that might explain some things. I wonder if my parole officer knows … [Read more...]

It's the perfect start to any day. … [Read more...]
There's a couple of days on the calendar each year I dread. There's no way around them. I wish I could pretend they don't exist. But they do. And that sucks. March 5 is the day my Mom passed away in 1984. May 7 is the day my Dad passed away in 2007. I wrote about my Dad last year. I also wrote about my Mom last year, and did a huge multi-blogger memorial for her this year. I was going to do the same for my Dad but my life is so in flux and high stress right now … [Read more...]
Welcome to Brunch Week. Today I have a special recipe for you. It's so incredibly delicious and sweet it will blow your mind. You all know I'm all about blowing your mind. And your taste buds. This is sure to do both. I would have never considered myself a French Toast lover. I make it all the time for the boys in the household, yet I never really cared for French Toast. Then last year I went to a conference and had Bananas Foster French Toast. My life has never been the … [Read more...]

This stuff is the pinnacle of bacon.... the pinnacle of bacon.... it's sheer perfection... in a little candy strip. You're welcome! KEEP READING FOR GIVEAWAY … [Read more...]
There is nothing I like better than shallots caramelized in a cast iron pan. It's simple, yet so full of flavour. Any chance I get to make something that includes caramelized shallots and onions I jump at the chance. It adds this slightly sweet tone to any dish. When Sunday Supper announced we would be celebrating Cinco de Mayo for this week's theme I just knew Steak Fajitas with Caramelized Shallots and Onions was the way to go. I have a serious weakness for steak fajitas. I could eat them … [Read more...]
Made you look didn't I? I mean who wouldn't. Look at these freaking potatoes. You take baby potatoes, you boil them, then fry them in a cast iron pan in olive oil and onions. Then you drizzle them with a meyer lemon dressing that will rock your world. No lie. These potatoes are wicked good. And wildly addictive. I dare you to try to eat just one serving. You will not be able to. I guarantee it! You all know I love me some potatoes, evidenced by my rock star Aerosmith Potatoes. I could eat … [Read more...]
Okay so let's start out by saying I really hope Aerosmith does not come sue me over this. Steven and buds, if this steps on your trademark toes just holler at me and I'll change the name. Unless you try them and like them, then let's talk. Alrighty roo, here's the explanation you've all been dying to hear when it comes to the name of these. Every time I say I'm making Aerosmith Potatoes people think I'm inviting Steven and the gang over. Which, let's be honest, would be sort of … [Read more...]
I hope I got your attention Or I hope this gorgeous Mongolian Beef with Broccoli got your attention. Beef always gets my attention... especially Canadian Beef. My regular readers know I am a proud Canuck through and through.... well... except for those moments when I'm complaining about the weather. One thing I never complain about... Canadian Beef. I happen to live in a place where the quality of beef is sublime. Beef is my favourite when it comes to meat. We … [Read more...]
