Amazing Recipes
I remember a time when I never baked. Not even for such simple things as muffins. My idea of baking was to buy muffin mixes and mix them with water or whatever was required and bake them. I always liked to bake but I guess I never really knew what to bake or how to bake. Well that was a long time … [Read more...]
I have to admit it. I am a soba noodles virgin! That's right. In all my life, I have never had Soba Noodles. Of course, I couldn't let this go on forever. So I bought some. First of all, I didn't even know what soba noodles are. But as usual, I did my homework, and asked my good old friend, … [Read more...]
I don't know what to call this. I've thought and thought about it. So I'm stuck with Chocolate  Blueberry Jam Pull Aparts. Why? I have no idea. But who cares what it's called. It's freaking amazing!

One of my favorite stores to shop at lately has been Ikea and I admit every time we go there we stop and eat, whether it's for breakfast, or the Swedish meatballs. I am not one to ever turn down meatballs, and it's not that the meatballs at Ikea are so good, it's more the fact that they are so … [Read more...]
One of our favorite restaurants is Montana's which is a steak house in Canada. Their food is great but the reason we like going there is for their antojitos. Now we haven't been there in a while but we missed these antojitos. So now I had a mission. I wanted to make these at home and make them as … [Read more...]
A few months ago, for my sister's birthday I made croissants and they turned out wonderful. Croissants is not something I make often, mostly because it takes a couple days and usually I don't have the time, though they are not hard to make at all. Last time I made croissants I used half of the … [Read more...]
I love chicken wings! There I've said it. And here in my little corner of the universe, my little blog, you might find a few recipes for chicken wings, and surely you'll find lots of chicken recipes.

Just when I thought I'd used the last of the quail eggs my husband bought, he went and got some more! So back to the drawing board for me to try and figure out what else to make with them. I love quail eggs, I think they're adorable but the thing that really bugs me about them is cracking them open. … [Read more...]
Caprese Salad or Insalata Caprese is a very simple salad from Italy consisting of fresh mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, basil and olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper.

I've just gotten back from vacation this week and I've been very busy catching up with everything. So on such busy week nights you don't have a lot of time for dinner, but I also don't want to eat out. I'd rather make my own fresh food. My husband happened to be in the mood for Mexican food, and … [Read more...]
As I said more quail eggs recipes are coming over the next few days. OK, I know this isn't really a quail egg recipe, but I made some linguini and why not throw some quail eggs on top. This is how I came up with the name lazy linguini, because it's a simple simple recipe, and because I just threw … [Read more...]
The contest is now closed. I have been working on my blog now for about a year and a half and I have really enjoyed it. I have learned many things from blogging about food, most of all to expand my horizons and to try different recipes. One thing's for sure, when you have a food blog you don't … [Read more...]
I'm still here in Southern Ontario and I'm not happy with the weather at all. It's been raining for the past couple days and it looks like it's going to continue raining until I leave.
