This recipe turned up synchronistically just at the time when i had harvested my cucumber crop and was wondering what i was going to do with them. It is called a salad, but it seems a lot like pickles to me, and I love pickles!! It seemed like a great way to memorialise the fruits […]

Wonderbag Cooking: Chicken Stew
My good friend Cheryl Woods from England recently sent this Wonderbag to the jungle for some of us to try. The idea behind this basic technology is to heat the food to boiling, then seal it in this polystyrene-bead filled bag that holds in the heat while the food cooks itself.

Today I am using a new recipe plug-in for the first time … so when you want to print one of the recipes that you see on the blog, it is now super easy to get only the recipe and not all the surrounding stuff. Or you can print the recipe with pictures or without. […]

However, it is over now, and I am determined to get back on my usual schedule. This Pineapple-Ramon Upside Down Cake was the […]

BB: Chicken Chili
This will be recipe #2 in the Barefoot Bloggers Challenge. It was well after dark before I finished it and served it, so the photography is pretty bad. I was expecting a Chicken Chili to have beans in it, but no, this was something totally different and unexpected.

BB: French String Beans
I read last week about the Barefoot Bloggers Challenge … to cook from 1 to 5 Iva Garten recipes (all listed at the “challenge” link) and post them this week. I checked over the recipes that had been chosen for the challenge, and they all sounded fantastic. ‘Why not?’ I thought, ‘we have to eat’. […]

Cooking with Pumpkin & Squash
I never cook with pumpkins or squashes. I think this has something to do with the impenetrable nature of this vegetable. I have never been able to figure out how to get into it. What type of tool would one use to smash through to the meat inside? Would an axe work?

BB: Cheddar Corn Chowder
There is no way a photo can do justice to the superb flavor of this Cheddar Corn Chowder. This weeks Barefoot Blogger recipe was suggested by Jill of My Next Life. Being from Southern New Brunswick, I’ve eaten a lot of corn chowder, but this one has them all beat hands down.

Chicken-Broccoli Casserole
Every once in a while, I come across a recipe from my early years of cooking (when I was cooking for kids) that catches my eye and makes my mouth water to remember. Such was the case when I was visiting with Mom in June. My sister-in-law and I were looking at Mom’s cookbooks, which […]

CEiMB: New York Breakfast
Once again, I am late posting the Craving Ellie in My Belly recipe this week, which was for “New York Breakfast”, and was chosen by Nick & Sara of imafoodblog.com. You will notice that my version is most definitely not the “New York Breakfast” that Ellie wrote the recipe for. Since smoked salmon is the […]

Rambutan
I love finding fruits in the market that I have never tried before. This past week, I discovered these soft-spined beauties and bought a bag of 12 (only Q5 for the bag … which is about $ .70 … can’t beat the price!)
