CASO station, St Thomas, Ontario. An important part of Canada’s railway history. #stthomasontario #casostation Who wouldn’t be tempted by the ultimate cheesecake recipe collection, with 30 recipes from Canadian food bloggers? Courtesy of @foodbloggersca, the link is: http://bit.ly/cheesecakeFBC. #cheesecake Black bean sweet potato cakes, anyone? One of my readers said she experienced a gastric orgasm when she read about these. I had to go back to double check what I’d written! See what the fuss is about on the blog (link in profile). #blackbeans #sweetpotato #legumecakes Listening to renditions of Hallelujah this morning and feelings are running deep. Ever in awe of @officialleonardcohen’s magnificent artistry. #leonardcohen #kdlang #montreal #hallelujahleonardcohen A cool, grey Monday morning and leftover Chocolate Buckwheat Pancake batter in the fridge calls for brunch! And it’s another chance to use my new #lodgecastiron pan from @jillstable. Loving how the pancakes cook up on it! This may be my most popular recipe with the family — I’m required to make these pancakes for every sleepover, lol. Recipe on the blog. #pancakes #castironcooking Thanks to all the egg producers out there, bringing us quality, nutritious eggs. I’m a proud egg farmer’s daughter, and I #getcracking every day! Check out easy Baked Eggs on the blog. Each little ramekin is like a treasure hunt ... perfect for Easter brunch! #putaneggonit #eggfarmersofcanada #eggfarmersofontario #burnbraefarms #conestogaeggs #eggs #bakedeggs #ovenbakedeggs I was so excited today to see that my favourite store @jillstable is displaying the new book #onboards by @lisadawnbolton who has rockstar food presentation skills. I’ve edited her food, food styling and food photography articles for @foodbloggersca for several years now, and I always learn so much. And how appropriate that the book is among the store’s stellar selection of charcuterie boards and wooden bowls. Definitely apropos! #canadiancookbook #canadiancookbooks #jillstable #foodpresentation #ldnont #canadaslondon History revealed in what was most recently the Village Harvest Bakery, soon to become something else. Does anyone know the history of Faulds Meat Market in Wortley Village? #wortleyvillage #oldsouth #canadaslondon #ldnont #villagehistory #villagelife Can you believe this is my first-ever hot cross bun? Add a cappuccino and a good book and it’s consolation for a tough physiotherapy session. Challenging, but I’m optimistic about conquering what ails me. #hotcrossbuns #cappuccino
