Winner, Winner, Steak Dinner!
It all began with this mini-golf game. Looks harmless enough, right? Then someone suggested we make the game 'interesting.' The winner would get his/her choice of homemade dinner. The loser would make the full dinner from scratch. From the beginning, I had a good guess who that loser would be. I prepared early, singing my… Continue reading Winner, Winner, Steak Dinner!
What’s On Your Plate – ChatGPT!
While reading this book (review here), I got the idea to ask AI to help me use up some vegetables that were lingering in my fridge. So, I asked ChatGPT if it could suggest a recipe using: snap peas, cucumbers, black olives, bell pepper, red onion, garlic, tomatoes and feta cheese. Here was its (ultra-fast)… Continue reading What’s On Your Plate – ChatGPT!
What’s On Your Plate: Oh She Glows for Dinner
This past month, Angela Liddon's Oh She Glows For Dinner was reviewed by our Cookbook Book Club. (I challenge you to repeat those last three words eight times quickly.) The reviews were mixed, but the recipes made were inspiring. So inspiring that I decided to be a copycat. But first up, my recipe review. Undercover… Continue reading What’s On Your Plate: Oh She Glows for Dinner
What’s On Your Plate – Hong Kong
In April, Richard and I travelled to Hong Kong to visit our son, Creighton, who lives and works there. We had a fantastic time exploring the city, sampling a wide variety of amazing foods, catching up with a few friends, and taking side trips to Tai O and Macau. Most of all, we cherished this… Continue reading What’s On Your Plate – Hong Kong

What’s On Your Plate: Greek Baked Vegetables (Briam)
Recently I joined another book club (I know, I know!) This one is focused on reading, reviewing and preparing-sharing one recipe each month or so (depending on our schedules). Cookbook Confidential is led by Bernadette from New Classic Recipes. Each month, book club members read the same cookbook. We then each prepare one of the recipes, share… Continue reading What’s On Your Plate: Greek Baked Vegetables (Briam)
What’s In Your Slow Cooker? #askingforafriend
Advantages of Slow Cooker Meals: I am a huge fan of using a slow cooker all year round. The big draw is that I can get dinner prep out of the way early, set it and forget it. The slow cooker does all of the heavy lifting. Long, low temperatures help flavours to pop and… Continue reading What’s In Your Slow Cooker? #askingforafriend
Cheater, Cheater, Turkey Eater!
October 10 was our Canadian Thanksgiving. This day fills me with enormous gratitude...and immense fear. Although I enjoy cooking and feel at home in a kitchen, I dread preparing the dishes that traditionally make up this meal. Every. Single. One! Don't get me wrong. I love eating a festive turkey dinner. I just don't like… Continue reading Cheater, Cheater, Turkey Eater!
What’s On My Plate: A Divisive Issue
Recently, there has been much online debate over the flood of personal food pics on social media. This caused me some reflection. As my long-suffering husband will gladly confirm, I take heaps of food photos. Once when it was suggested he keep a food diary to deal with a potential allergy, he said, "I don't… Continue reading What’s On My Plate: A Divisive Issue
