No debate ... butter tarts with raisins are classic for me. But I won’t say no to pecans. You? #buttertarts #greatcanadianbuttertartdebate #fbc2018 Butter tarts fresh from the oven. Heaven at @thebakerywarkworth. #fbc2018 @foodbloggersca #realbaking As an apple lover, nothing thrills me like seeing a bushel full of #Ontarioapples. Happy that @ontarioapples is a sponsor of #fbc2018! @foodbloggersca #canadianfoodblogger Fabulous spread from @ourluckystarscafe at #fbc2018 in #Warkworth. That raspberry white chocolate scone ... bliss. @foodbloggersca #canadianfoodblogger Ready for #FBC2018 in beautiful #Warkworth. @foodbloggersca #canadianfoodblogger And dessert: a towering angel food cake with local ever-bearing strawberries and whipped cream. No time for proper pics with 10 people waiting for their servings! #angelfoodcake #birthdaycakesimplicity #keepingitsimple This evening’s birthday dinner for my daughter was simple, but mighty good. Ribs, oven fries and coleslaw, plus an angel food cake with strawberries and whipped cream for dessert. Sometimes the simplest foods are the best expression of love. #bbqdinner #birthdaycelebration #familytimes #simplefoodgoodtimes #simpledinner I don’t do all the work around here. This 8-year-old just made my Sweet & Spicy BBQ Sauce practically on her own. I just prepped the garlic and ginger. Recipe on the blog! #cookingwithnana #modernscratchliving #innanaskitchen #bbq #bbqsauce Removing four racks of ribs from their spicy beer braising liquid. I’ll keep them in the fridge tonight, then lavish them with sauce on the BBQ tomorrow for my daughter’s birthday celebration. Worth a little extra steam and heat on this hot and humid day! (Search ‘ribs’ on the blog for the recipe.) #bbq #babybackribs #celebrationcooking
