TAKING A BREAK...

Forgive me.

I have been so busy in the kitchen whipping up concoctions, testing new recipes and baking up delicious creations that I haven't had a chance to write in my blog.

I'm not sure when I'll be up and running again. Hopefully soon!

Have a  sweet day,
Rosie

Lá Fhéile Pádraig - Happy St Patrick's Day!

When your partner is Irish, you quickly learn to love all things Irish - food, music, Guinness and the colour green. 

I have spent many a St Paddy's Day in an Irish pub: Dublin with co-workers, Lisbon with my cousins, Brussels with my Irish friend Laura and of course, Toronto. Since I was a child, on March 17th, I don some green in honour of the special day.  And since being with my Irish lad, David, I cook some Irish fare. 

Whether you're Irish or not, the collection of recipes below will bring out the Irish in you! Oh the Irish... a welcoming, fun and jovial lot. And even if it's just for that one day a year, we're all Irish in our hearts.  


May your day be touched

by a bit of Irish luck,
brightened by a song in your heart,
and warmed by the smiles
of the people you love.


Slainte!

Let's Celebrate Spring with Maple Syrup!

On March 20th at 12:57 pm EDT, Spring will officially arrive. Ahhhh Spring! Even though there is still snow on the ground, the hope of spring, warmer weather and more sunshine has me craving some seasonal treats - Maple Syrup! When I was a little girl, Spring meant my birthday was just around the corner and that a visit to the Sugar Bush was on the schedule. I have gathered 20 recipes, all containing maple syrup, to celebrate the season.

Happy Spring!
