Being a food addict with a huge sweet tooth, there are few dietary rules that I take seriously. I know I eat more sugar and less protein than I’m technically supposed to. I will say yes to a cookie and no to kale 9 times out of 10. But the one thing I absolutely don’t mess around with...

Iced Lemon Shortbread
The inspiration behind these lemon shortbreads is so cliché it’s not even funny. A little while ago, Life gave me lemons… and because I’m not really one for lemonade, I made cookies instead. Let me explain: I’ve been using the Click and Collect service at Superstore for qu...

This time of year is crazy for most of us. For myself and lots of others, the holidays mean working longer, harder hours at our jobs while also trying to keep track of a crazy social calendar – there are always more get-togethers and parties and work functions in the lead up to Christmas. W...

I’m a recreational tea-drinker. If it’s a cold day and I’m in the right mood I’ll make a cup, but on the whole I’m definitely a coffee person. Tea just doesn’t have the caffeine I need to get going, so it’s more of an occasional treat than an everyday bev...

Mango Shortbread Creams
Back in the spring – before Provisions moved and expanded, and when fewer people were in the mood for baking – it could get pretty quiet at work. It sounds crazy, I know. On slower days, I would indulge my inner Kid-in-a-Candy-Store and flip through cookbooks, getting ideas and making...

Perfect Fudgey Brownies
Brownies are a funny thing. Everyone has their own particular idea of what a brownie should be – nuts, chocolate chunks, icing, texture, density… they can all make or break a brownie, depending on what you grew up with. Some people believe walnuts are mandatory. Some like a cakey text...

Grilled Cornbread with Blueberries & Coconut Cream
Ahh, my two greatest loves: fresh summer fruit and breakfast. My idea of paradise is a place where it’s summer all year and every restaurant has an all-day breakfast menu. A while ago we went for brunch at El Cortez here in Edmonton, and I had their cinnamon corn french toast with saskatoon...

If you were hanging around this part of the Internet the last few years, you might notice a dearth of Patio Drinks posts on the blog so far this summer. To be honest, we’re not really feeling the patio lately. The magical patio from summers past now feels like a perpetually dirty, annoyingl...

Red Currant & Cherry Pie
I recently had a Saturday off – my first “free” Saturday in a long time – and at the top of my activity wishlist was going to the farmer’s market. City Market in Edmonton is one of my favourite places to be, because fresh fruit, Bloom cookies, and cute dogs are some ...

Ultimate Banana Smoothie Bowl
I try not to get swept up in healthy eating trends if I can help it. I’m way too cynical for my own good. You may have noticed açaí bowls – those artistic splayings of fruit on top of thick, purple açaí smoothie – popping up everywhere these days, a popularity owed mostly to Ins...
