Today I want to share with you a recipe that would be perfect for a breakfast, brunch, lunch or as an appetizer, Maple Bacon Cheese Cups. As I mentioned when I shared our Mason Jar Maple Martini recipe, this week I am sharing maple recipes. This is the peak time of year for making maple syrup, and it is always peak time to enjoy it! And what goes better with maple syrup than bacon? My family was ecstatic that I made these this week and are already asking when I am going to make them again. And the best part...

Here we are with our third maple recipe for you, Maple Roasted Tomato Orzo Salad. So far, we already shared Mason Jar Maple Martinis and Maple Bacon Cheese Cups. This recipe started from a love of roasting tomatoes. At the end of the tomato growing season we always seem to end up with an abundance of cherry tomatoes that are too small for making sauce. So, a few years ago we began roasting them in olive oil and herbs and then freezing them to use in dishes throughout the year. In fact, just the other night I made a chicken...

If you have been around a bit you know I am not a baker and I like to keep things simple. This time, I think I took "simple" to a new level. If I had known how simple and yummy this was, I would have been doing this for years. My favorite cookie recipe is a whole afternoon ordeal. This dark chocolate pretzel bark I made while I was getting ready this morning. It is perfect for sharing around the holidays, and really year round - and it is the perfect simple and affordable gift as well. This is what...

It is hard to believe, but Thanksgiving is next month and it is Canadian Thanksgiving today! So to get ourselves prepared, I have joined a group of talented bloggers, hosted by ELLA CLAIRE, to share Thanksgiving side dish ideas. I decided, as usual, to make something really simple but also really delicious. This recipe is also really easy to travel with if you are bringing a side dish to your host or hostess. To start with, the fillo dough cups were pre-made. I found mine in the bread aisle but I have also found them in the freezer section. I...

I am feeling a little bit pumpkin-y lately. And yes, in my world, that is a word. So today I have joined a group of talented bloggers to share pumpkin recipes with you. I am ready for fall bonfires, heartily soups and lots and lots of Sunday morning pancakes - and of course maple syrup. I like to keep breakfast simple as I am not a morning person, so this recipe is perfect. All you need to do is mix up a bunch of ingredients and cook them in a pan! Ingredients 2 1/2 cups of OUR BUTTERMILK PANCAKE MIX 1...

  I have just returned home from a fun weekend away at The Chapel Market (more on that soon!). It was so fun and my first chance to introduce our maple syrup face to face with people (shopping coming real soon, I promise!). It only seemed fitting to cap off that weekend by sharing a maple cocktail with you that is perfect for the upcoming Thanksgiving season and beyond - a Maple Cidertini. Even better, I am also sharing 6 holiday cocktails from my friends. And as with most things, I think they should be amazing and still be simple...
