Spaetzle, Again

Well, in pursuit of the perfect spaetzle, I’ve tried yet another variation and I think I’m in love.

So, there I was, standing in front of an open fridge looking for spaetzle inspiration when I saw the bacon. A little lightbulb went off in my head. Eureka! Bacon spaetzle, and let me tell you it tastes [...]

Gumbos Louisiana Cafe, Round Rock

Hubby and I had the rare occasion to utilize the services of a babysitter in order to have a date night. What?!?! I know, seriously! He’d been working so many overtime hours on a project at work that they gave him a nice hefty gift card to Gumbo’s, a local legend here in these parts.

We [...]

Creamy Red Potato & Boursin Soup

There’s a little cafe in Orangeville, Ontario that I like to go to when visiting my family. They have manage to maintain the same high standards since opening, and their food truly is a delight. One of my particular favorites is their soup of the day. The soups are always high quality, home made and [...]

Pork Chops with Tarragon and Tomato-Green Onion Relish

Long, hot days of summer have driven me far, far away from my stove and oven, and the steamy air has robbed my brain of all but the very least creative ideas for meals. It has only been with the recent approach of fall’s cooler air and school starting again (when I can send one [...]

Rotissering – Something You Can Do at Home

Last spring there was a very damaging hail storm in our area that not only polka dotted our cars but put an end to the barbeque that I had been lovingly using for close to ten years. Granted, it was a cheap BBQ to begin with and the flames were huge due to the gas [...]

Pasta with Grilled Zucchini & Chicken

Readers of this blog will know that this household is on a quest for low fat but highly flavorful dishes that don’t require the stocking of tofu or birdseed in our pantry. I don’t want to change the kinds of foods we eat (ok, minus the cream and butter) but I do want to change [...]

Low Fat, High Flavor (Chicken Souvlaki)

So the quest for high flavor, low fat foods is ongoing in this household. Enter an old favorite of mine: Souvlaki with Tzatziki. I first fell in love with this Greek dish when I lived in Montreal, of all places. There was this tiny skiing village north of where I lived (I actually lived about [...]

Apple Coffee Cake

Hands down, this is the best apple coffee cake I’ve ever had the pleasure of baking. I made mine in a pretty bundt pan and it turned out just wonderfully and got gobbled up. It is so moist that it held really well at room temperature for several days AND it froze just perfectly as [...]

The following article was contributed by a fellow food lover and blogger by the name of Chen and he shares with us a few great picnic ideas that look particularly [...]
