FFWD – Coupétade ( or, French toast bread pudding)

FFWD – Creamy Mushrooms and Eggs
Yesterday was an ‘egg’stravaganza – making brioche, then using it to make this week’s recipe and next week’s French toast bread pudding. That’s more than a dozen eggs, not even counting those I used for the upcoming Baking with Julia … Continue reading

FFWD – Swiss Chard Pancakes
Misunderstandings are like thunderstorms that move across our lives, leaving little trace of the chaos they caused once they’ve disappeared. Unless they linger, but luckily most don’t. My reaction to chaos is to do something grounding, to find a simple … Continue reading

FFWD – Cod and Spinach Roulades

FFWD – Orange-Scented Lentil Soup
East End Food Co-op is where we do a lot of our grocery shopping and it’s long been a neighbourhood hub in our area. It’s hard to go in there without running into someone we know and some of the … Continue reading
FFWD – Cheesy Crème Brûlée
