Who doesn’t like salted caramel? Weird people, that’s who. Ever since Carmen got me addicted to the amazing Salted Caramel Ice Cream at Village Ice Cream, I’ve wanted to make this gooey caramel myself at home. It’s not as hard as you might think. Pro’s would probably use a candy thermometer, but I found just […]
Creole Envie- Edmonton
I fell in love with New Orleans a couple years ago. I love the energy, the people, the music, and of course, the food. So with the new Creole restaurant open in the Highlands area, we had to go check it out. We first met the chef/ owner, Danielle, over twitter. She was searching for […]
De Dutch Edmonton
DeDutch- 10030 Jasper ave A new breakfast place opening up in Edmonton creates excitement and anticipation rivalled only by the release of a new Apple product. With Vancouver based DeDutch recently opened on Jasper ave, Robyn and I went to check it out. DeDutch is known mainly for their giant Dutch pancakes called Pannekoeken, though they […]
Pork Chili Verde that will make you Green with Envy
I’ve been to 2 different chili cook-offs in recent months, and not a single competitor has even attempted one of my favourite varieties of chili- Pork Chili Verde (or Green Chili to you anglophiles out there). For shame. It seems that P.C.V. (yeah, you know me) is a completely unknown delicacy up here in Alberta. […]
Roast Pork with Porkshire Puddings
Ain’t no jive turkey at our house at Thanksgiving. Robyn is not a fan of the tasty bird, therefore, this year I decided to make an intimate Thanksgiving day dinner for 2, with a delicious Pork Shoulder Roast as the centrepiece. I started out by blending a rub for the pork. I used a simple […]
Sunday Brunch- Mutha-f*ckin’ good Eggs Benedict
Making a really good Eggs Benedict really isn’t that hard. * Don’t we all really only order it in a restaurant for the bacon and hollandaise? Unfortunately, restaurants tend to be like crack dealers when it comes to bacon and hollandaise; you get a little taste, but if you want enough to seriously enjoy it’ll […]
Sunday Brunch: Leftovers Omelette with Bacon and Grilled Croissants
Is there anything more frustrating than trying to make the perfect omelette? Not to me there isn’t. They always seem to either stick to the pan causing me to end up with a scramble, or I greedily over-stuff them and they become un-foldable. Regardless, they rarely work out for me. To that end, I decided […]
Great minds…
Now here’s a man with his head screwed on right…. Community’s Nick Offerman. Right?

Brunching at Home- Bailey’s French Toast
Ever since a conversation with Global News’ Jennifer Crosby where she mentioned that she makes Bailey’s French Toast, I’ve been wanting to give it a shot myself. Jen says she just replaced the milk/ cream in a standard french toast recipe with Bailey’s. It’s as simple as that. So since I’ve developed this love for making […]
