Cooking, decorating and travelling through life
If you’ve never tried or even heard of arancini, you need to rectify that situation. A glorious ball of flavourful rice with a filling of meat and or cheese, that is breaded and fried and fully credited to the Sicilians. Arancini means little oranges which no doubt come from their golden colour outside and the […]
Way before the lemon poppyseed craze came to be, Jewish people everywhere were expertly making yummy things with poppyseeds. These crunchy, not too sweet cookies were always waiting for us at our beloved Bubi Molly’s in a metal cookie tin in the bread drawer. We knew them as moon (pronounced muhn or mohn which is […]
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 […]

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 […]
