A little something for some family members on Family Day. Banana bread cupcakes with walnuts and chocolate chunks. #familydaybaking #bananabreadcupcakes #bananabread This is gravy making magic in a jar. It’s frozen potato cooking water from the last time I made mashed potatoes. It’ll go into the gravy I’m making today for pork chops with roasted potatoes. Great way to build flavour & reduce kitchen waste. #gravymaking #potatowater #reducekitchenwaste #kitchenwastereduction #lowwastekitchen I just published a roundup of 14 recipes featuring chocolate — luscious chocolate — for Valentine’s Day.

Weekend #batchcooking. This is going to be a big one, with almost 3.5 pounds of beef along with lots of vegetable goodness. #beefstew #canadianbeef #cookingahead #stew It’s buckle-down-to-work time, which means posting a pic of my homemade #cappuccino with cocoa first. Um, procrastination, anybody? #cappuccino #brevillebaristaexpress #homebarista #coffeeandwork Approaching Thetford Mines, Quebec.
