Continue reading →: Banana Protein Muffins (Gluten-Free!)On weekdays I leave the house before 7 am to commute to work, and while I used to favour some kind of egg-and-toast combination for breakfast, I simply don’t have the time to coordinate that kind of thing anymore before rushing out the door. Toast and jam just weren’t cutting…

Continue reading →: Plum Coffee CakeWhen late summer/early fall hits and I start seeing dark purple plums showing up in the grocery store and at the farmers’ markets, all I want to do is make plum coffee cake – which, contrary to the name, doesn’t actually have any coffee in it.

Continue reading →: ThanksgivingThis past Thanksgiving weekend was full of turkey and family and more turkey. We had a wonderful dinner at our house on Sunday night with Nate’s parents, my parents, and my Aunt, who is visiting from California.

Continue reading →: Smoked Salmon and Corn ChowderSweet corn has got to be one of the best things about late summer. I could eat it every day straight off the cob, but sometimes it’s fun to do other things with it – like putting it in a creamy chowder with smoked salmon. Recipe on the SeaChange blog!

Continue reading →: Black Bean BurritosRemember my resolution to use my cookbooks more? Yeah, it hasn’t been going so well (maybe that’s why I usually avoid making resolutions), unless you count the fact that I’ve been making these black bean burritos pretty much on a weekly basis since I got the Dinner: A Love Story…
