    Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits

    I've been cooking my way through some of my grandma's recipes. I don't remember her ever baking these biscuits, nor eating them, but I came across her rich tea biscuit recipe and decided to give it a go. They didn't work. I made hockey pucks. I'm from Canada, we know our pucks. These, we could've knocked around the ice and I'm sure they would've held up. After a few tweaks, though, Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits inspired by Grandma have found their way straight into my heart!

  • Stocked up on frozen fruit when the shelves were bare? Tired of smoothies? Any Season Fruit Salad with a Ginger Lime Dressing is hands down the best way to use up some of that frozen fruit. Jazz it up with a bright lime and ginger dressing recipe.

    Any Season Fruit Salad with Ginger Lime Dressing

    This is my new favourite. A last minute, throw together fruit salad. It's easy, delicious and you probably have everything already on hand. I don't tend to pay a ton of attention to what's in season. I'll add that to my ever growing list of things to do–buy in season. Really, it makes sense, but at this moment I'm just not that organized. I do shop the sales, so I am, in a sense, buying for the season. What I do have though, is a stock pile of frozen fruit ready for smoothies. On the days that I want an easy, any…

    Loaded Egg in a Hole

    I go through spurts and starts with the Food Network. There will be weeks where I binge-watch as much food-related tv as I can stand and then nothing for months. I went through one of those bouts a few months back. It was a competition show where on one episode two of the contestants both made a version of eggs in a hole and I knew I needed to share my favourite recipe for Loaded Egg in a Hole.

    Anytime my aunt is comes to town, fresh Family Irish Bread, is a guarantee. She bakes loaves of it and it is amazing, as is she, amazing that is! Call this a bit of an ode to Ele (my aunt). She is like a second mom to me. She's the aunt I can confide in, scheme with and is always there to help. My aunt drops everything and comes to the rescue of any of her family members, especially her nieces and nephews. In fact, she flew to Georgia for a month-long visit to watch our toddler while I was in labour…
