Serves 4 (see notes) ½ tbsp butter ½ tbsp extra virgin ...

Barbequed Ribs
Barbequed Ribs I’m not sure how it works where you live but here in Canada, it’s pretty normal for us to shovel a path to our BBQs in the name of a good meal! So in honour of this, I am posting a great BBQ rib dinner. These ribs fall off the bone and melt in your mouth; they may even fall apart on your grill – well worth it, I promise. Serves 4 ...
Japanese Aioli
Japanese Aioli Aioli is simply a flavoured mayonnaise. When I was pregnant with my daughter I desperately wanted to make homemade mayo, the problem? I couldn’t get it to work without the egg yolk and in case you didn’t know; raw egg is an absolute no-no when you’re pregnant. So the other day when my children and I were holed up, avoiding the ...

Clam Chowder
Clam Chowder This is without a doubt my favourite Redux! I loved looking through my books for inspiration. I chose the 2012 Taste of Home Annual recipes on p.42, they have a recipe for Clam Chowder that was submitted by Amanda in Idaho. I love how quickly this comes together, especially at this time of year but I also love the feeling of a hot ...
