You’ve heard of the popular Canadian Treat of Beaver Tails before, right? Well, for reasons pertaining to copyright infringement, we’re not actually allowed to call these delicious Canadian iconic treats Beaver Tails. Or BeaverTails. Or Queues de Castor. And so this is not a BeaverTails recipe, but rather a Moose Ears recipe that involves Maple Syrup and Candied Bacon, that you can ... Read More »
The Royal Botanical Gardens Lilac Festival in Hamilton was a big discovery for me a few years ago. Lilacs are a huge thing in my life. I grew up in the small city of Belleville, ON, that town that you drive through now to get to Prince Edward County when you’re going Wine Touring. I’ve always loved Belleville. It’s not ...

I think that I’ve mentioned that I LOVE eating breakfast for dinner. And for breakfast. And lunch. Maybe even for snacks, too. Screw it. I could eat breakfast all day long, every single day. I decided last week that crepes were going to feature on our Meatless Monday dinner recipe, but I also needed to work in some protein. I wanted ... Read More »
I’ve got a confession for you, but before I tell you, I want you to promise me that you won’t leave this site as soon as you read it. Promise? Ok. Here we go. I don’t drink coffee. Still here? I know, I know. I’m serious, though – I don’t drink it! I don’t even like it! In early days of university, I ... Read More »

[err, ok, it’s Saturday now. But Favourites Saturday just doesn’t have the same ring!] I bumped into Sseko Sandals in my first month on Pinterest 3 years ago. I was intrigued by these sandals that you could change the colour & style of by using different straps and tying them different ways. I pinned them to the board where I ... Read More »

Mind you, in that family, this generation goes all the way back to the ’30’s – but still – my ... Read More »
In our house, every day is Earth Day. My little Hendrik is a sponge, on the lookout for new knowledge to absorb wherever and whenever he can. He wants to know about where squirrels live and what they eat, what frogs eat and how do their legs hop so high; how does grass grow, and where does the water go ... Read More »
Just a few days ago, I posted a recipe for Inside Out Lemon Meringue Pie – I had a few meringue cups left after everyone was served, and my 3 year old son was wondering why I had birds nests sitting on the counter. That got me thinking. I grabbed a package of shredded coconut and tossed a cup of ... Read More »
