My entire reason for attempting to make puff pastry today is to make puff pastry with baked brie. I’d never made puff pastry before. I’d always heard that it was incredibly daunting and tedious to make. More than anything, most people seem to recommend against […]
I have never heard good things about making puff pastry. Everyone I know who has tried has simply given up and bought it. But, living in the middle of nowhere Wisconsin? I cannot for the life of me find anywhere that actually sells it! It’s […]
It has been a week of salmon burgers! They’re one of my favorite things to make on the barbecue and we are in the very last throes of grilling season. I can’t believe that fall is almost upon us! Pretty soon the leaves will be […]

It’s the peak of summer and I’m in full on barbecue mode. My barbecue was actually stolen a couple of years ago. So, in defiance, I have refused to purchase another one. Although the other day I was running some errands and spotted a free […]
I have been in full on falafel mode lately. I’ve spent the last couple of days soaking chickpeas for Hummus and Falafel. As well as tossing together Tzatziki, which really only takes a couple of minutes and a cheese grater or zester! Which all must […]
