Oh My goodness! It has ben ages since I last posed on this poor, neglected blog of mine! Busy with Christmas preparations, my other business Elanne & Ivy with Christmas orders and last minute shows, and generally just keeping things running here at home have sure had me hopping. I wanted to stop for a moment [...]

Sometimes, it takes *really* looking something over before you realize the error of your ways. I’ve been working away on my second book, and last night I completed the recipe list to be included. (HOORAY!) However, I noticed that most of the recipes that I really want in the book are main courses, and we [...]
You never know what you have in common with someone until you discuss food with them. This recipe for gingerbread comes from a lovely little cookbook my son’s teacher wrote. Based on her Scottish heritage, the book fits well into our kitchen, and her recipes are appreciated most by my husband who shares her descent. [...]
One of my favorite things to do is connect with friends and exchange news, catching up on what each other has been up to amidst the chaos of child-rearing, work and life in general.

I love my next-door-neighbour! She’s all of about 4’11 but what she lacks in height she makes up for with a generous heart. She makes us wonderful desserts, pastas and today, taught me how to make panattone. I’m thrilled! Now, I wanted to post Filina’s recipe for panattone, but seeing when I asked for it, [...]
Another “added-to” recipe. Actually, the reason I ended up changing it, was that during mixing, I realized that the dough was not nearly wet enough, and so I ended up adding another 3/4 cup of orange juice to it, ignoring what the recipe said. It is a heavier bread, very dense and moist though. The [...]
I had no idea what to blog about today – so I went on a search for “Easy Christmas Recipes” and found this recipe on All Recipes, that looks fabulous! It is a loaf/bread and it really looked excellent. So, I am posting it now, and photographing my own version once it is out of [...]
