Preparing Traditional Christmas Pudding
I have posted this recipe here before, but for those of you who may not have seen it, I wanted to share it again. This was my Great-Grandmother’s Recipe, and it’s enjoyed every year in our home for Christmas dinner dessert. It’a delicious carrot pudding full of wonderful raisins, currants, dates…all the good stuff (and [...]
Vanilla
I had the pleasure of getting this e-mail yesterday: “Hey Cat! I’m wondering what’s the best type of vanilla to use for baking. I took a look at the store and there was artificial vanilla, pure vanilla, artificial vanilla with a percentage of pure, and some other types. Help!” So, in addition to answering her [...]
Caught in a Cooking Rut?
Chances are, once in a while you have absolutely no idea what to make for dinner! It’s often difficult with the stresses of everyday life, the busyness of work and family and the general “stuff” we all have to deal with, to come up with new and creative ideas for meal time. Sometimes, it seems [...]

Bread-Makers
As I write this post, I am baking my first ever loaf of bread in a bread-maker! It smells great in here! My parents and In-laws have both had one of these small appliances for years, and used it regularly, but I have just recently gotten around to buying one, and today, she sets sail [...]
Silicone Bakeware
Silicone bake ware rocks! There, I said it! It really, really does! I’ve been using mine for about 3 years now (having bought my first set when the trend just began to hit the big stores) and I have never looked back. Why you ask, is silicone the way to bake? Well, allow me to [...]
Cat Got a Face Lift!
No, I’m not superficial enough to go “under the knife” but my blog does have a new look! Thanks to my husband, Stuart who has recently re-designed his own site, my blog is now looking even more snazzy…new colours, fonts, and style! I am going to try to post more cooking tips and recipes in [...]
