Spring has had a rather faulty start so far around here (with more “spring” snow and snowstorms than I can even remember), so I haven’t had my go-to breakfast, smoothies, on the brain much. But the warm-ish temperatures announced for this weekend can only mean two things: garden work (hooray!) and the return of the […]
In cooking, as in life, we sometimes make mistakes we can’t undo. Maybe we add way more salt than a stew needs, maybe we substitute sugar for salt in our favourite gluten-free muffin recipe, or maybe it’s forgetting a key ingredient that just “makes” the dish what it is.

I have some sad news, friends. We’re coming up on the tail end of our local strawberry season around here so you better get yours before they’re gone.

Hope you enjoy my first attempt at re-inventing a classic recipe! This week I’m revamping Mrs. H. F. Bronson’s […]
