Adventures in cooking and baking.
These Maple Pecan Madeleines are wonderful little shell-shaped sponge cakes brimming with the flavor of maple syrup and the crunch of toasted pecans.
These little cookie cakes incorporate two of my favorites, madeleines and maple syrup (plus toasted pecans). I love the combination of flavors and had a hard time stopping myself from eating them warm from the oven.
These oatmeal burger buns are wonderful for burgers, sandwiches, and anything else you might want to eat between two slices of bread.
These oatmeal burger buns are super soft, moist, and flavorful. They are loaded with whole grains, including rolled oats and whole wheat, along with brown sugar. There's also a sourdough preferment for even more added flavor.
These roasted Yukon Gold potato wedges are super creamy on the inside and crusty on the outside.
These potatoes are the perfect side dish for a steak or fish (as in fish and chips). I also love them stuffed into a breakfast burrito or topped with cheddar cheese and bacon.
This garlic and cheese naan is so soft and fluffy. It's stuffed with garlicky cheese and then cooked in a hot cast iron pan. It might become your new favorite bread.
While you can't see it from the outside, there is a handful of shredded and melted cheese stuffed inside each one of these little flatbreads.
These parmesan and thyme crackers are buttery, cheesy, and ideal for a cocktail hour nibble. They pair so well with a glass of bubbly, dry white wine, or an apéritif.
Are you planning a dinner party? These would be wonderful. Imagine a shortbread cookie... only it's not a cookie, it's a perfectly crumbly savory herb butter cracker.
This lychee martini is light, sweet, and refreshing. It is infused with the flavor of the lychee, a tropical fruit originally native to Asia.
I first tried this lychee cocktail about fifteen years ago in a bar in Toronto. It was so tasty that the first thing I did when I got home was buy a bottle of the lychee liqueur to make this cocktail at home.
This Amish country casserole is an easy, hearty, economical, and satisfying dish for feeding your family.
This casserole is the epitome of easy comfort cooking. Throw together pasta, ground beef, an easy sauce, and a topping of cheese, and you you can get dinner on the table within an hour.
