FBC2013 – Food Bloggers of Canada Conference – Been there, Done that, Loved it!

When I entered my “Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies” recipe to the “My Cookies Are The Best” contest with “Manitoba Canola Growers” I didn’t really think I would win. Not that my cookies are not the best, don’t get me wrong, I just figured they are going to have so many entries that my chances are […]

Sweet and Simple Coconut Walnut Cookies

I’m one of those crazy people that like their kitchen cupboards as clean and empty as possible. Well, not empty per say, but functional. I mean, I don’t like it when I have stuff lying around, perhaps expired or just no longer usable or needed. I like to know that when I open my cupboard […]

Chicken Drumsticks and Olives – Kids’ New Favorite

Mushroom and Corn Salad – Asian Style

As usual, I was looking in my fridge to find something interesting to make food with. I had the main course and the side dish but I wanted something different for salad since we already had the traditional plain garden salad. And then I thought to myself that it could be nice to have a […]

Golden Beet and Garlic Salad

My mom always makes this awesome beet salad. With olive oil and lemon and garlic, I just love it! But if there’s anything I don’t like about it is the fact that the beets always make it look like I just murdered someone in my kitchen, right there on the cutting board, and I can’t […]
