Okay, so after hours and hours of asking for recipes, designing the ebook, reformatting recipes and researching ways to get it out there and get the money to Haiti, it is here. First off, I would like to say thank you to every single person who has sent in recipes, tweeted about this, posted on […]

February 6, 2010

In the midst of creating my own ebook for Haiti (which will be out by the end of the weekend! Check back =D), Julie asked if I would be interested in contributing to the Blog Aid Cookbook. Of course, I said yes! The cookbook has been on sale for a couple of days and has already […]

Five Grain Gluten-Free Bread

February 3, 2010

Bread has never been my thing. Sure, I enjoyed it warm and crusty speared with a serrated knife at restaurants, but sandwiches didn’t entice me. I did eat them, but not often by any standard. Likely, this is because bread has a very high gluten content so it wouldn’t have been jiving with my system. […]

2 Years Gluten-Free

January 30, 2010

Okay, so that isn’t technically true. I have accidentally (and very unfortunately) ingested gluten in the past 24 months. However, 2 years ago (at 5 o’clock to be precise!) I was diagnosed with celiac disease. The moment I found out, I was thrilled. Overcome with relief. We knew what was wrong. It could be fixed. […]

My Daring Bakers Challenge: Gluten-Free Graham Wafers and Nanaimo Bars

January 27, 2010

Yes. You read that right. This month’s Daring Baker’s Challenge, the first one in the new decade, was hosted by yours truly. There are no words to express how excited I was when Lis and Ivonne first asked me. My mind raced: it had to be gluten-free (or a straight forward way to do so), […]

Comfort Bowl

January 20, 2010

Sometimes you don’t need a recipe. Sometimes its more about the comfort, the taste, the feeling of a dish. The ease of cooking it, the individuality you can infuse. This recipe is a guideline, a jumping off point, an idea. Every night, at that witching hour just as dinner is being made, we have a […]

A Hand for Haiti

January 16, 2010

I always feel a disconnect with huge catastrophic events. In a way, I guess I don’t understand them, and in another way I just don’t know how to deal with them. They are events that you never forget and never fully comprehend unless you truly experienced it. It brings be back to grade nine, when […]

Daring Cooks: Satay

January 14, 2010

It was Tuesday night. That meant that I had to make it on the 13th. No questions. Mom had bought steaks, and this challenge gave a lot of freedom about the meats – just use the one you want! That meant it would be steak. Funny thing about beef (and pork for that matter) is […]

Gluten Free Lemon Cake

January 13, 2010

It was my mom’s birthday. Hers falls just barely into the new year, so it ends up not being a huge thing. Its just after Christmas, so we’re still all lusting over our new toys and occasionally school has even begun. However, that doesn’t mean it can’t be special! This year, there was no school […]

Hot Chocolate with a Secret

January 7, 2010

I love hot chocolate. There are the rich decadent cups that fill you up in one sip, and there are this kind. Its the light and airy, give me more, I’m not done yet kind. And, this one’s got a secret. No one has to know. They just have to know its good. You see, […]
