Cook, Tan, Eat, Repeat.
I used to get sad when my family didn’t like something that I made. The first time I made this ice-cream my husband didn’t like it. He said it tasted ‘burnt’. At first I was kind of sad. Then I realized that this meant there would be more for me I got over my sadness.Continue reading Doubled Salted Caramel Ice-Cream
I have wanted to make lavender ice-cream for soooooooooooo long. Every picture I had seen intrigued me: the color, the flavor. Maybe because purple is my favorite color? Because I’ve always wanted to run through fields of lavender? Because I’m interested to know who first thought of using lavender in cooking? Shall I go on?Continue reading Lavender Earl Grey Ice-Cream
Who doesn’t love a sheet dinner? One pot or one pan meals? What’s not to love? No dishes, no fuss, no muss. How about a recipe that fits on an index card? Does anybody even use index cards anymore? One of my oldest friends wrote this out for me on an index card. I thinkContinue reading Sausage and Chicken Bake
I often end up baking or cooking things because of what is lying around that needs to be used, and fast. You see, here in Mexico, because of the heat and humidity, (and I truly believe because our food is a little less processed also), food seems to waste faster. When I buy bananas forContinue reading Double Crumble Strawberry Bars
I know, I know, I almost NEVER post Mexican food on here. But people, you do understand that I live in Mexico, where I can get cheap, fresh, and delicious Mexican food whenever I want, and sometimes, it’s as cheap as if I made it myself. But then I get to thinking ….. what ifContinue reading Chicken Flautas
Have you bought an ice-cream maker yet? What is holding you back? The money? Think of this though. Unless you are buying the cheapest of cheapest ice-cream which, let’s face it, is never that great, you will be saving money. Making your own food almost ALWAYS means you are saving money. Here’s another thought: haven’tContinue reading Strawberry Basil Almond Ice-Cream
I would have never made this recipe if I was flipping through a cookbook or the internet. Dates? Not a fan. In a dessert? Weird. I don’t remember the first time I had this, but it was made by my talented dessert making friend that has passed a lot of fantastic dessert recipes on toContinue reading Sticky Toffee Pudding
I am one of those people who kind of hates when a new movie is so popular that everybody insists ‘you HAVE to watch this movie, it’s the best’. Just because the masses love it, doesn’t mean I will. I actually refused to watch Avatar for years because it annoyed me how people were obsessedContinue reading Roasted Vegetable and Brown Butter Pasta
Does anybody else ask their visitors or company for food suggestions? Sometimes I find planning a menu harder than executing one. I often will ask people who will be visiting us what their favorite ice-cream flavor is, or friends we plan to have for dinner if there’s something they miss and crave. I don’t alwaysContinue reading Ricotta Pine Nut Brittle Ice-Cream
Living in Mexico means we have learned a lot about (and become friends with people from) many different cultures. Yes, we had this at home, in Toronto, a multi-cultural city. But here it’s been ….. different. Why? I suppose it is because so many of us left family and friends and our home country andContinue reading Chimichurri
