Stephanie and I have a lot in common (besides our name) but she'll fill you in on that. We've moved our chats off of Twitter (after all, what can you really discuss in depth in 140 characters when you have so much to talk about?) and onto email and although she's...

Although I didn't have any requests as to the type of cookies people submitted to the Advent Calendar, when I asked Jerry from Zeppoli's to contribute to my Cookie Advent Calendar, I was secretly hoping he'd share a traditional Italian cookie recipe and he didn't...

You know how once in a while you and a co-worker manage to become friends, great friends, outside of the workplace. You no longer think of that person as someone who you work with, but someone you actually like hanging out with? That happened to me and Christina....

Paul first made these cookies a few years ago and I'm glad he doesn't make them too often since I can't stop eating these! They are super-soft, chewy and full of rich, chocolate flavour - all the things I love about cookies. Normally, I'm not a fan of white chocolate,...

I "met" Shannon on Twitter when we connected over chats about the Toronto Underground Market. Unfortunately, I didn't get to attend the same one as she did so I have yet to try out the delicious goodies that Shannon whips up as part of All Mine Caramels (some day!)...

I honestly don't remember when I first stumbled onto Nicole's lovely blog, Miss Friday's Feast, but I was instantly hooked. I think one of the things that drew me to it was Nicole was also a new food blogger, so it was interesting to see how she approached blogging...

my first oven roast

Dec 10, 2012 | beef, in the kitchen, main courses, meat dishes, recipes

Confession time - I have never made an oven roast. Never. I've "kind of" made a pot roast (usually, Paul makes the pot roast and I assist), but I've never made an oven roast by myself. So when I got my latest Canadian Beef Ambassador assignment, I was excited and...

Christine is one of my favourite Twitter friends and I'm happy to share her cookie recipe today. Christine and I originally connected because we're both Canadian Beef Ambassadors, but we definitely have more in common than just our love of good beef! Christine is...

Amanda is fun and funky and her blog is full of pretty things that I LOVE. I love browsing around and getting ideas for things I need to buy (or ask someone to buy for me - LOL). Besides being able to bake wicked cookies, Amanda is a talented artist - basically, this...
