There are some recipes that are so good you almost don't want to share them. They blow the minds of your guests and your family. So you think to yourself "self keep this one to yourself". This amazing pear and apple crumble inspired by the amazing Orgasmic Chef's Poached Pear and Apple Crumble is one of "those" recipes. It's simply spectacular. When I made plans to ask Maureen of Orgasmic Chef to be involved in my Burning Down The Kitchen series I knew exactly which recipe I wanted to make. … [Read more...]
Welcome to Brunch Week. Today I have something for all you folks in a hurry in the morning. Which is likely 99.99% of you. I mean who are we kidding, most of us are rushing around in the morning. Some of us find we're too busy to eat. I'd like to change that. I mean who doesn't have 3 minutes in the morning for yummy overload. I know I make time for yummy overload. 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...]

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...]
Hello readers! Sorry it's been a bit since you last saw me. I've had lots going on... like this amazing Fried Apples with Apple Caramel Sauce.... a trip to emergency.... a crashed computer.... and life just sort of spiraling out of control momentarily. I've had to put posts on hold while we deal with my 'puter. All my photos were locked up inside. So no new blog posts while we tried to free them. The good news is its hitting the service department … [Read more...]
I just love easy recipe so much. I can't help myself, any chance I get to whip up a quick dessert I jump at it. I'd like to say there's some complicated or honourable reason for it.... but... I just like tricking people. There I said it. I love the idea of people thinking a recipe took a long time to make. I encourage people to think I spent hours in my kitchen working long, tiresome hours in order to satisfy their sweet tooth, and widen their waistlines. I love the feeling of bursting … [Read more...]
I just love no bake desserts. They make me happy. I think it's the fact that you can fool people into thinking you spent all day making cute little desserts... when you really spent all day watching things like The Real Housewives of Everywhere and Anywhere. So apparently I'm admitting to getting a kick out of tricking folks. Not sure what that says about me. Not sure I really care. I've got a full belly and I caught up on all The Real Housewives this week. So life is good. And when … [Read more...]
