Easy candied orange peel
When December rolls around, you can count on me to first start thinking of what holiday treats I’ll be creating. Shortbread is a given, both sweet and savory. Fruitcake (yes!). Something chocolate, whether that’s a dark flourless cookie or almond roca bars, or – in rare years – chocolate fudge. And candied orange peel. It’s…
Old-fashioned Blackberry Roll
When Alan told me that we were going to go pick blackberries at Vanier park, I was, frankly dismissive. Half of Kitsilano is in easy walking distance of Vanier park, and any blackberries there would surely be picked over. So I only brought three small containers that I could hide in my backpack, not wanting…
Mini Chocolate Blackberry Cupcakes
It’s funny, the way we do family birthdays. The ones that fall outside of October, that is. Between Christmas and August it seems impossible to get us all together to celebrate individual birthdays, one each in January, March and May and two in July.

Roasted Blackberry and Brie Crostini
I have no doubt it will be a good year for blackberries. We’ve had a stretch of warm weather that’s extended out for several weeks, to the point that I almost can’t remember the last time it rained in Vancouver. Almost. Even with all the sun and heat, though, blackberries do take their time to…
Blackberry Madness
It’s August, and the bushes are heavy with blackberries. I find myself thinking about them a little too much, speculating on what kind of a blackberry season it will be. Will it be a good crop? Will I find a good place to pick? Will there be good weather, and lots of time for picking?…
The Paleo Diet Challenge: Top 5 Positives
At the start of the Paleo diet challenge, I was looking to test three things: First, if I could actually stick to a grain-free diet for a whole month. Second, if it would make me feel any different (more energy, perhaps?). And third, if it would make any difference in my usual blood test results…
