Reese Peanut Butter Chocolate Poppycock, and More!

When I got home from vacation I was really excited to see that I had my Reese Peanut Butter Chocolate Spread waiting for me to get to work taste testing and creating recipes! Of course this work started with a spoon in hand… tasting right from the jar. Imagine delicious sweet and salty peanut butter with rich yummy chocolate. After creating one recipe, the ideas kept flowing, so I made two more! Here I bring you three quick and easy treats you can…

Sazerac
The Sazerac – A New Orleans Drink

The Sazerac – A New Orleans Drink

I must admit right off the bat that the Sazerac is not a drink for me. I tried a couple sips from the Sazerac’s that Eric ordered while we were in New Orleans. (Check out my trip in full detail here, here and here!) The cocktail is quite strong since it consists almost entirely of rye whiskey, but my husband loves it and I am sure other rye whiskey lovers will appreciate it as well! I haven’t actually tasted my attempt of this Sazerac,…

NOLA ~ Part Two – Day 3 and 4!

I am now in love with NOLA … the smell of beignets in the air… the sound of beads hitting the pavement from balconies above… the incredible live music in almost every place you enter…. and the food… the incredible food. If you missed day 1 and 2 of my trip, check it out here!  Day 3 in NOLA is a day where Eric was in his IMSA sessions for the most part. We started out with breakfast together where…

NOLA
New Orleans, Louisiana (NOLA) ~ Part One

New Orleans, Louisiana (NOLA) ~ Part One

Hey ya’ll! I am down in New Orleans, Louisiana! It is quite incredible down here; especially the food and craft beer scene! The heat is intense – something I am not used to at all. When you go from a dry area of 24 degrees, feeling like 24 degree to NOLA of 32 degrees, feels like 45 (what!? I know!), it’s a shock to the system… and hair… I have been here for two days so far and I have…

Summer Salad Rolls with Peanut Dipping Sauce

I love salad rolls. Anytime I am in a place that has them on the menu, I just have to have them! I don’t know if it is how fresh they taste, or if it is the sweet and savoury peanut dipping sauce, or everything combined; but they are one of my favourite foods. I will have them as an appetizer, snack or as a meal; so it was only natural that I needed to try and make them myself! …

How to Make a Frittata!

How to Make a Frittata!

Sometimes my fridge needs a good cleaning and when I need to get rid of a good portion of produce, cheeses or meat, I will make a frittata! A frittata is an egg based dish that is similar to a crustless quiche. It is a really good way to clean out the fridge and not waste! Below is my recipe that can be anyone’s recipe depending on what you have in your fridge. As long as you have some vegetables, some meat…
