Cat Can Cook

Wow, what a busy couple of days! I may in fact *be* Super Woman! Today (with both kids in tow) I single-handedly indexed The Cat Can Cook Book! Up until very recently, I honestly didn’t see an index as a necessity for my particular cook book, but in speaking with others in the cook book [...]

Because I love to cook so much, and have gotten better and better at cooking over the years, I really *expect* that when I go out to eat, that the food is good – no, not passable, not so-so, not okay, but GOOD! I always say, that if the food I go out to eat [...]

Have you ever played with your food? I have! In fact, it’s what I do best. I love trying new ideas, and making new and interesting things in my kitchen. Recently, I thought I’d try making flavoured cream cheese, so I took 1 package of Cream Cheese (250g) and added in about 1 1/2 TSBP [...]

If you prefer, make it into two smaller balls, and freeze one for later. Pineapple Cheese Ball 2-8 ounch packages cream cheese 8 1/2 ounces [...]

So, I didn’t get the pierogies done today as planned – I know, my bad! I was thoroughly enjoying an afternoon to myself. I made jewelry, went for a long walk, and just enjoyed some quality time with me, and the thought didn’t even cross my mind until mid afternoon. I will make them soon, [...]

There are about as many variations on making pierogi as there are people who love them, and homemade pierogi are so much better than and store bought variety. So tomorrow, I am going to embark on the pierogi-making adventure in my own kitchen. Okay, well, maybe it’s *not* an adventure, but it’s always fun to [...]

Thanks to a blog reader named Gayle, I am passing along this recipe for gluten-free granola. Here is what she sent. Thanks so much Gayle! “I buy my Gluten Free Rolled Oats (Bob’s Red Mill)in the health food section at Fortinos (Zehrs)” Most health food stores would also carry them. I have also included a [...]
