Cooking, decorating and travelling through life
A variation of my Banana Bread recipe, if you are chocolate lover you’ll like this one. Sweet really ripe bananas are a must. I always buy more bananas then I need , let the extras go really brown, then peel and freeze them so they are ready when I need them. After the bananas are […]
Soup season is just about here! I’m all about comfort food and I just love that you can take a few ingredients and create a magical, satisfying and healthy meal. Did I say delicious? I shared my Roasted Butternut Squash Soup recipe last year, and this one is along the same lines, but even easier. […]
It’s officially fall and that means its officially pumpkin season. I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin pie but my husband loves it. So…since I do love brownies and blondies I thought a compromise was in order. Took a few tries and I added the ganache because I thought they were bland without it. Nuts […]
My dreams of having a business started many years ago when I was in my late teens. I brought a cheesecake to work and people started asking me to make them ….. for money!!! Back then I’m pretty sure I was using the recipe on the cream cheese package. Over the years I’ve tried lots […]
Oh how I love lasagna! I think it was the first meal I ever learned to make. It took a lot of years and lots of different methods but I’ve got a go to method now and it’s pretty fool proof I think. The absolute key to a delicious lasagna is the sauce you use. […]
I’m completely ice cream obsessed. I have a few favourites like butter pecan, any flavour of italian gelato and peanut butter & chocolate. We all know that PB & C are a complete match made in heaven. I don’t know if Baskin Robbins came up with the idea to make this flavour combo into and […]
I’m not sure what era this recipe came from but the combination of pineapple with cream cheese screams 1970s to me. This is something my grandmother made and like everything else she made, it’s epic. The sour cream pineapple topping seems weird I know…. but it completely works. I’ve converted cheesecake haters with this one. […]
Whenever I serve this people are completely surprised it’s done in the oven. Roasting it results in perfectly caramelized cobs and the fresh basil and parm take it over the top! I like to cut the corn into smaller pieces so they are more manageable and a perfect party side. Feel free to roast the […]
We’ve always got some variation of pasta salad in the fridge. This is one of my super simple go to recipes ( it’s even on my menu at Savoury & Cake). The fresh herbs & lemon just taste like summer and it is perfect as a weeknight dinner side or for a beach picnic. Use […]
I first stumbled across the notion of no churn ice cream when perusing one of my Nigella Lawson cookbooks years ago. I believe it was coffee flavoured and I honestly couldn’t believe you could make ice cream without a machine. I remember making all kinds of ice cream that year using the base and throwing […]
