When I was a little girl date squares were a peculiar sweet that only old people ate.
I go ballroom dancing every week. I’ve been dancing on and off now for around ten years and I love it very, very much. It’s such a wonderful feeling to be gliding across the floor in a swirly dress dancing the Glen Roy foxtrot.
I loved Christmas as a child (and as an adult I still do!). We always went to our grandparents house for the holiday period and there was always an air of excitement in the days leading up to Christmas.

This idea has been filed away in my head for several months now. I’ve been wanting to make home made Oreo cookies for some time and I bookmarked a few recipes which looked interesting and had some really positive comments. When my daughter said she’d like a Coraline themed birthday party this year I …
My daughter has inherited my tastes for all things quirky and odd. She’s as fond of Neil Gaiman’s Coraline (2002) (made into a film by Henry Selick in 2009) as I am, so when I asked if she might like a Coraline themed birthday cake this year I was delighted when she said yes.
My children have been nagging me for ages to make them packed lunches. I admit it, I’m pretty lazy and if I can get away with not doing something I will.

I have a confession to make: I absolutely love Halloween. I love Halloween a bit more than a grown adult should love Halloween.
A gorgeous and vibrant spiced mustard relish made with green tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, cauliflower, celery and onions. My mother used to make this recipe when I was a child growing up in Cape Breton. Prep Time: 2 hours Cooking Time: 1 hour Difficulty: Moderate Green tomatoes, can you eat them? Green tomatoes are not something …
Nearly twenty years ago I sat at my grandmother’s dining room table in rural Eastern Canada scoffing slabs of home made pumpkin bread thick with butter and chatting about this, that and the other thing, as granddaughters are wont to do with their grandmothers.
Here you have it: my new favourite breakfast. I’m fairly new to the whole eating-of-the-fresh-figs thing, being introduced to them only this year after I saw so many of my fellow food bloggers raving about them.
I love cranberry sauce. A Thanksgiving or Christmas meal isn’t complete without it, in my opinion.
One of my favourite meals growing up was spaghetti with a jar of Ragu sauce poured over the top. I could never get enough of it. To me that dish represents the ultimate in comfort food, and I am known still, as an adult, to eat it on occasion.
Halloween was A Big Thing where I grew up in rural Canada. During the entire month of October village gardens and windows would be adorned with Halloween and Autumn themed decorations.
Soft spiced molasses cookies; ideal for when you’re going on an adventure! When I was a girl growing up in rural Canada I used to bake an old fashioned soft molasses cookie recipe. I don’t know where the original recipe came from, being handed down from somewhere, but these cookies were one of my favourites.
I’m a newcomer to the whole kale thing. Following on from a suggestion by a vegan friend who is in love with the stuff, I did, once, some time ago, pick up a bag of curly kale from a local supermarket and I baked it to make kale chips.
