I was bound and determined to try one of my Top Ten Creepy Halloween party Foods to bring to my friends Anna & Jake's annual Monster Mash party. (That's Anna posing with the intestines above, rocking a chicken costume this year)
I decided to go with the 'Stuffed Intestines' made with puff pastry …
Halloween is almost here, and I've been eyeballing a variety of potential treats and appetizers to bring to our friends' annual Monster Mash.
Last year I made one of my crowd favs, Sea Salted Caramel Popcorn, which is awesome (if I say so myself) but not that 'scary'. It's only terrifying in ho…

So I'm neck-deep in ingredients and fighting the humidity of a west coast rainy day (anti-meringue making weather) as I whip up 17 dozen meringue cookies, plus more for the tasting competition. R…

I had the privilege of being invited to a Thanksgiving feast potluck at a Central Vancouver Island farm yesterday, the very place I buy my amazing vegetable plants each spring, in fact. My friends who own this farm have begun the Thanksgiving weekend tradition of throwing a huge potluck feast in o…
The more Twitter foodie people I follow, the more excited I get about what's happening with food conversations on social media.
