lemon icebox pie

June 9, 2011April 20, 2012 | allison

Like lemons?  Like pie?  Like frozen things?  Like delicious desserts without needing to bake?  Assuming you aren’t crazy and you like all of these things, you will probably be a big fan of this super simple desert.  You can even use this pie to impress those people who will eventually become your in-laws, even though

falafel with avocado spread

May 22, 2011April 20, 2012 | allison

So…I’ve mentioned a few times that I’ve been busy. I’ve also not been posting that much, a clear indication of busy. But in the last couple of weeks I have come to realize that in keeping a personal blog, and in posting a lot of the meals that I cook on such blog, the whole

mushroom lasagna

April 30, 2011April 20, 2012 | allison

Are you looking for a bechamel based lasagna? Look no further. Seriously, this recipe from smitten kitchen, which she adapted, only a little, from Ina Garten, is delicious. I’ve made this lasagna twice. The first time, I made it for a girlfriend and followed the recipe, almost exactly. The second time, I made it for

homemade infused vodka

April 27, 2011February 24, 2013 | allison

A few weekends ago we were going to a couple of our friends’ birthday party (yes, the plurals and possessives are right) and I just didn’t feel like drinking wine. Ever since dry January I’ve really cut back on my drinking. I rarely drink on week nights, but even more surprisingly, I tend to restrain

falafel burgers

April 23, 2011April 20, 2012 | allison

I’m not sure where you are from, but here it Toronto, it doesn’t feel much like spring. In fact it still feels like winter. Biting winds, sleet, snow, and days where it is 0C (32F). A few weeks ago, however, we had a couple of nice days, so I decided to celebrate the spring and

If you follow my blog (and I hope you do!), you know I’ve been busy. Very busy. So busy that I’ve been the world’s worst blogger for the past couple of weeks :( I’m super sorry! Bear with me ok? It’s a combination of being at work until late, getting home, making dinner, and going

yuca tortilla soup

April 8, 2011April 20, 2012 | allison

It’s Friday, Friday! Cue Rebecca Black: This Friday is extra good since it has been another one of those weeks. Hopefully, this weekend I’ll get a chance to get caught up on life (piles of laundry, unopened mail, and a dishwasher full of clean dishes that has been waiting to be emptied since Wednesday), and

spicy pumpkin soup

March 31, 2011April 20, 2012 | allison

Remember way back here when I introduced you to my soup cookbook? And do you remember how I told you that I’ve got some of my very favourite recipes from this $0.50 garage sale purchase? And do you remember how I told you that my first selection was “Spicy Pumpkin Soup”. And that Oh.My.God. It

peanut butter cookie doh!

March 29, 2011April 20, 2012 | allison

So… last night I was just about to go to bed, I’d been planning for a 10pm bedtime, and it was 9:55. I was pretty much ready for bed when I had a craving for something sweet. And peanut buttery. And my mind flashed back to a couple of recipes I’ve seen in blogland over

mac + “cheese”

March 23, 2011April 20, 2012 | allison

Given some of the recipes I’ve posted to date (including this one and this one) it probably doesn’t come as much of a surprise to you that I’m not quite a vegan. Until fairly recently I sort of thought that vegans were malnourished hippies. In the past several years, however, I’ve started following a few

The hubs returned from SXSW on Wednesday with some sort of plague. He was so sick while there that he had spent an entire day in bed.  This may not sound that appalling to some of you, but my husband is super immunity man.* In the time I’ve known my husband, he’s NEVER spent a

arugula apple salad

March 16, 2011April 20, 2012 | allison

This is a tasty salad and chicken schnitzel combo I came across about a year ago on Epicurious.  The original salad recipe calls for frisee and belgian endive.  The first time I made it I substituted arugula for both because my grocery store doesn’t carry either frisee or beligian endive.  Lame, I know.  A few

vegetable tortellini soup

March 10, 2011April 20, 2012 | allison

A super quick post this morning to shout to to a seriously amazing vegetable tortellini soup I made last night. A few weeks ago I came across the recipe at Sing For Your Supper, and last night (with all the slushy, rainy, windy, horribleness we had going on here in Toronto) was the perfect night
