A Couple of Cream Cheese Frostings
I use cream cheese in everything I possibly can—salads, bakes, frostings, pie fillings, sides, dips … you name it. I can even eat it plain, right out the tub while watching my everyday episode of Breaking Bad. And so, I’m thrilled […]
Classic French Toast
Sometimes, it’s the simplest things that are the hardest to do! Think about it—whipping up an egg until the peaks are stiff, making an omelette and flipping it perfectly, kneading the dough… And so, it occurred to me to dedicate […]
Carrot Cake
My all-time favourite cake! It’s best eaten warm in any weather. It’s rich, moist, full or flavour, and is the prettiest cake I’ve ever seen! “If carrots got you drunk, rabbits would be pretty messed up.” – Mitch Hedberg The […]

The perfectly moist, heavenly, rum-packed Christmas fruitcake! You have to try it to believe it! 🙂 The Fact: Fruitcake was often put into ancient Egyptian tombs because it was thought the preserved food would not spoil on the journey to the […]
Banoffee Pie
Make this one out of love for the name of the dessert, if not the banana-toffee combination 🙂 “Q. Ever wondered where the phrase “to go bananas” came from? A. Why try when banana pancakes, choco-banana cakes, banana splits, […]
Sausage Potato Quiche

No Bratwurst, No Switzerland
There cannot be a sausage tastier than this … not until another sausage proves me wrong! “Laws are like sausages, it is better not to see them being made.” – Otto von Bismarck The Fact: In 320 AD, because of […]
Apple Pie
I believe in kicking off the winter with this crunchy-crusted, warm, moist, and totally droolable apple pie. And so should you! “If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the Universe.” – Eugene […]
Red Velvet Cake
Some find a little bit of heaven in their red velvet cake; others think it’s overrated. My thoughts—I love red. I love cake. So, why not? “You’re only human. You live once and life is wonderful, so eat the damn […]

The quickest, sophisticated-looking, and by far, the easiest dessert recipe I’ve ever known… “In the 1960s, you could eat anything you wanted, and there was no talk about fat and anything like that, and butter and cream were rife. […]
Lemon Pepper Chicken
Grilled chicken cooked with the combined fragrance and flavour of freshly ground black pepper and freshly squeezed lemon… hmmmm… “The disparity between a restaurant’s price and food quality rises in direct proportion to the size of the pepper mill.” […]
