Flashback to last weekend’s fully loaded slow cooker that worked its magic while I enjoyed a little road trip to the beach at Port Stanley. Nothing like returning to a house that smells heavenly. #slowcookerpotroast 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. 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. Link in profile. #chocolaterecipes #chocolate #chocolateforvalentinesday Pleased to be part of @foodbloggersca’s roundup of pomegranate molasses recipes — that’s my pomegranate molasses-glazed chicken thighs in the photo! See the full collection at https://www.foodbloggersofcanada.com/over-15-ways-to-use-pomegranate-molasses. #pomegranatemolasses #canadianfoodbloggers Well, would you look at that. I just published a blog post and it’s for a new recipe, no less. Chicken, Rice and Lemon Soup anyone? Link in profile. #chickenricelemonsoup #canadianfoodblogger #fbcigers #canadiancook #makesoup #chickensoup Ready for my afternoon’s work. #homebarista #brevillebaristaexpress #cappuccino #coffeebeforework #coffee It’s stew time! 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
