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. Here’s what it includes: *Raspberry Chocolate Bread Pudding *Chocolate Buckwheat Pancakes *Chocolate Ginger Granola *Black Forest Cake *Strawberry Chocolate Cupcakes with Strawberry Buttercream *Chocolate, Cherry and Pistachio Macaroon Meringues *Raspberry Cacao Smoothie *Chocolate Whisky Maple Cake *Dark Chocolate Sour Cherry Cookies *Choco-Caramelicious Patties *Chocolate Avocado Mousse *Chocolate Banana Bread *Milk Chocolate Panna Cotta *Chocolate Chip Cookies No matter what you feel about Valentine’s Day, there’s something here to enjoy.

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.
