Just Can’t Get Enough: December
Despite it being “the ha-happiest season of all,” I still tend to get the winter blues in December. Christmas crowds make me anxious, the weather is blah, I see sunlight maybe once a week… I know I’m not alone here. Charlie Brown felt it, and I’m sure lots of you hav...

Hibiscus & Pomegranate Jellies
Ahhh, December: an entire month of overdoing it, calorie-wise. Most years it’s just a total write off, like, “Welp, it’s December 1st and this advent calendar ain’t gonna eat itself!”… and downhill from there, really. I know the feeling well. But that’s w...

Dark Chocolate Mendiants
It’s the time of year for holiday parties of all ilks: the big ones with family, the boozy get-togethers with friends, the potlucks for work (side note: is it just me, or do people who work in offices always end up having like 3 different Christmas parties? Like, there’s the potluck l...

Christmas in November Recap {Part 2 + Recipes}
There was honestly so much good stuff going on at last weekend’s Christmas in November that I couldn’t fit it all into one post! I feel like I’m still digesting everything that happened, both figuratively and literally (I ate A LOT, you guys). Saturday kicked off with a demo fro...

Christmas in November Recap {Part 1}
Last weekend I had the privilege of attending Christmas in November at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge. I was so excited to see what this annual event was all about – I had been seeing and hearing all about it since last year, and I couldn’t wait to experience it for myself. On the bus...

To-Die-For Cranberry Oat Bars
When I started Edible Woman a few years back, the original idea was to recreate foods that I had fond memories of: new things I tried while traveling; treats that I had become obsessed with as a kid; recipes my grandma has made for years. Sometimes the recreated version was pretty close to the or...

Just Can’t Get Enough: October
A lot can change in a month! This week Canadians elected a new Prime Minister, and I don’t know about you, but I’m just relieved that I’ll never have to see or hear another one of those “pffft nice hair” political attack ads EVER AGAIN. They were driving me bonkers, ...

Milk Chocolate & Nutmeg Tarts
Every once in a while a recipe comes along that really just knocks your socks off. I’m lucky, I get to be surrounded by perfect, delectable pastries all day at work, so I think I’ve become a bit “dessert-desensitized” if you know what I mean. Too much of a good thing. So w...

How to Roast a Pumpkin
Was canned pumpkin puree always so expensive?? Maybe I’m turning into an old lady already, being aghast at the price of pumpkin with each passing year. But seriously – that stuff ain’t cheap! So when I saw that SPUD is now offering organic sugar pumpkins from Alberta and B.C., I...

Christmas in November at The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge
Normally, I don’t allow myself to get excited for Christmas until December – if I let myself go full Holiday Mode any earlier, I’d need to invest heavily in stretchy pants and digestive aids. This year, however, everything is different: I’m indulging in a little taste of C...

Apple Crumb Cake with Truvia Brown Sugar Blend
For those of us who love cake, the struggle is real. I would eat cake for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if I thought I could get away with it… but the waistband on my jeans is quick to remind me that an all-cake diet isn’t a great idea. It’s a tough life. So when I... Read More &...

Just Can’t Get Enough: September
Jeez, September kind of just passed me by – it feels like a sleepy haze now. I think my inner bear is preparing for the Big Hibernation, which involves lots of naps, big hoodies, and the annual “fattening up.” I know you feel me. Holla at me if your hot beverage consumption has ...

Patio Drinks: Pomme Pomme Cocktails
Yeah, that’s right: PATIO drinks. Did I lose you already? You think I’m crazy, talking about sitting on a patio in this cold, wet weather. But I wanted to get one last cocktail into the Patio Drinks series, and besides, these apple/cinnamon/ginger flavoured Pomme Pommes are the perfec...

10 Cookbooks to Get Excited For This Fall
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: wandering through the cookbook section of a bookstore with a coffee in hand is one of the sweetest pleasures in life. It’s my happy place. And fall is the best time to have an eye out for cookbooks; most people are thinking of settling ...

Gooey Pear Hazelnut Blondies
If Mother Nature is acting like fall here in Edmonton, then I’m gonna act like fall too. I’m going to embrace every single minute of the crisp morning air, sweaters, hot drinks, and – best of all – fall baking. The taste of warm spices and molasses is a first-class ticket ...
