{Heaven with red wine.} Last Friday I got a massive craving for pasta carbonara and having never made it before, figured I should give it a whirl! Turns out, it's a super easy dish to make, though it doesn't entail an alfredo sauce as I originally thought, is just as decedent tasting. Nick and I …
Since the weather has turned chilly in the last few weeks, I've had a serious hankering for stew. Lucky for me, my dad hunts and is generous with the contents of his freezer, so I made venison stew to kick off autumn right. You could easily use beef instead, but if you're lucky enough to …
I love scones (or biscuits, or whatever you want to call them). When I was little, my Nana would bake proper Scottish scones, and they seemed to me to be the most complicated and delicious things in the universe. Turns out, they're not that complicated! I make them a lot because they're really quick to …
You heard it here first ... {Chopped up peaches and pitted cherries.} This weekend, in the midst of crossing things off my massive to do list (seriously, I actually crossed them off ... on the internets ... 'cause I'm cool like that) I decided to make a galette to serve after dinner with Lisa on …
{Nick Hermes photo.} Have a look-see at what my amazingly talented manfriend grew on our balcony! How cool is that? Dinner tonight is going to be delish!
Dear Steveston, You are adorable and have delicious frozen yoghurt and fish and chips. Love, Kate
{Pancakes, lookin' all fancy.} I used to have a bit of a tenuous relationship with pancakes. My sister loves them and used to want them all the time when we were little, so I got a little sick of them after a while. I'm into them again though, and love the recipe from my childhood. …
{Jam cooling on the balcony.} We've had many, many pounds of strawberries sitting in our freezer ever since we went berry picking a few weeks ago. On Sunday, Nick and I, and our friend Melissa, finally got around to making jam with them. I'd never canned before and was expecting it to be a laborious …
This corn and bean salad is one of my favourites. I can't take credit for it though. It comes from my boss, Sam, who is a vegan. The corn and beans apparently make a complete protein so it's a good no meat meal. Nick likes to eat it as more of a salsa but it …
{Tacos on our balcony.} I'm a very lucky girl. I live with a man who makes me fish tacos for my birthday even though I already had birthday brunch and dinner with dear friends. A man who knows the importance of birthday dinner for two. Thanks to my love for birthday fish tacos. {Bacon-wrapped scallop …
