Well, this is the second time Melanie makes this dish, and this was the first time we’ve made it together! Much like the first time, this rolled turkey breast was absolutely delicious, and I wish I had a spare stomach for suppers like these. This is the perfect dish for small holiday gatherings as a 2 pound turkey breast can easily feed 6-8 people!

What to do with all those bananas that are becoming to ripe to eat? In my mind, the obvious, and often first option, that pops into my head is banana bread. But, this time I wanted to bake something else and was in the mood for something sweet but not too sweet. I found a recipe for some chocolate and banana biscotti -yum!

Walking home in sub zero temperatures will chill you to your bones, and this is precisely what happened last night. I knew I had a few hours of prep time to play with as Melanie was working late, so I quickly decided to get a warm pot of soup done up for her arrival.

The soup was actually simple to put together, we actually had everything on hand, and add to that a warm piece of french bread and you’ve got nostalgia in a bowl (well, for me at least! If only I had a fireplace where I could hang my feet near…)

It seems like its been ages since I’ve posted a recipe! EEK!

Anywho….Melanie isn’t a big fan of soya sauce, and it goes without saying that she’s also not a fan of your typical Teriyaki stir fry sauce. Over the years I thought she just didn’t like stir frys, but it turns out it was the sauce’s fault all along! Shame on you sub par sauce! So with my resolve in hand and some creative kitchen engineering, I whipped up a fresh batch of homemade stir fry sauce!

I find cranberry and orange muffins a bit difficult to master, as the cranberry is very bold and has great potential to hide any of the orange flavors. However, with this recipe you could taste the orange flavor just as much as the cranberry. There was a very nice balance. These muffins are perfectly moist and great for breakfast or lunches. Enjoy!

Whenever a frigid cold wintery day comes upon us, I find myself seeking the comfort of warm soup, chili or a delicious pot pie. This past weekend was one of those weekends in London, Ontario. I came across a veggie pot pie recipe on the Playing House website and agreed with everything the author had to say about the comforts of food to spending a lazy weekend day in the kitchen myself or with Andre. This particular weekend Andre and I spent Saturday afternoon in the kitchen making this delicious recipe. I hope you also enjoy!

What is better than waking up on Sunday morning and having your partner cook you some light and fluffy pancakes that are filled with blueberries?? Exactly, nothing! Now, these blueberries aren’t any type of blueberries either…these wild blueberries come from Sudbury and are packed with blueberry goodness flavours.

For the past eight years, I’ve hosted a Christmas party for close friends. In preparation for the party, I become giddy as I set out to find a dessert recipe better than last year’s dessert. For my final dessert selection, I chose a Chocolate and ginger cake – the recipe has already been posted on the site – however, I thought to myself, who, amongst my group of friends, wouldn’t appreciate MORE chocolate goodies at the party??
