I Crave It, I Make It, I Eat It! What's so crazy about that?
Happy May! Spring is in the air... hopefully that means no more snow.... but I'm in Canada so one never knows. It's that time of year where the furnace can be on at night, then the a/c on during the day. I think the hydro and gas companies are conspiring against us Canucks and bribing Mother Nature. What... it could happen. So let me fill you in on what's been happening at the B household.... … [Read more...]
One would think with the new year upon us I'd have lots of healthy food to share with you in this recap. Yet...not so much. I've been in birthday mode which tends to turn into a one or two week binge-fest. For some reason I go on these benders every year. My birthday turns into a free for all. I know I should feel bad but … [Read more...]
I have to say 2012 rocked. Except when it was kicking my ass. Which it did a lot of. But I wouldn't trade any of those lessons learned for anything in the world. You can never grow and learn if you don't have obstacles and challenges in life. Going through the hard stuff makes you appreciate the good stuff more. It also makes you grateful for the little things in life. So any lesson I was taught I am grateful for, it's brought me to the place I need to be. Moving forward, learning, and growing. … [Read more...]

Hi folks. I want to share one of Julia Child's quotes with you all. It's one of my favourites. I believe in it wholeheartedly. But then again I believe in everything Julia had to say about cooking and eating. “Everything in moderation... including moderation.” - quote by Julia Child I try to follow this rule every day of my life. … [Read more...]
Sunday Supper's theme this week is Kids in the Kitchen. I have to say I love this idea. You all know mini-me helps me in the kitchen on occasion. I love for her to help make pizza. She actually works at a local pizza joint so she's really good at making pizza. Like better than me. And I'm pretty darn good at it. Lots of practice. We make pizza a gazillion times a week. You learn some stuff. Like mini-me is better at stretching dough than her mom. Like loads better. She can make … [Read more...]
Welcome to another edition of Burning Down The Kitchen. This is a weekly series where I have the huge honour of interviewing fellow bloggers. I also make a dish of theirs I've bookmarked. This series started when I realized I'd been bookmarking tons of recipes for my Lunatic Loves These Links series but I had not been making the recipes. So this seemed like a unique and fun way to make the dishes I love staring at while getting to know the blogger behind the dish. It's my way of … [Read more...]
So today is the wrap up for Fun with Jars. It will be moved aside for Farm Fresh Fridays now that the Farmer's Markets and Fruit Stands are open in Ontario. I thought I would send it off with a big bang. I've been dying to make these for ages. So I hauled my butt to the store to buy wide mouth canning jars. I think it's the only kind I don't have. I picked up a case and got busy. Making pies in jars. Who knew? So much fun, so cute and such a huge pain in the rump. It's really flipping hard to … [Read more...]
Hi folks. I'd like to start today with a cautionary tale about Google Plus. Last weekend I was doing some tweaking of albums on social media sites. We all do that. Clean up the albums, reorganize and make sure things are where they should be. I worked on Facebook for a bit. Then moved on to Google Plus. I added some pics, sorted some albums and then came across one that had some family pictures in it. I could not recall putting them on Google Plus and I tend to be a bit private with family … [Read more...]
