The Pups - We miss them!



We are still galavanting around overseas, but we will be heading home soon! I promise to get back to you as soon as I have some reliable internet :) Which may very likely be when we get home!


Oh the pups! How we miss you!

Beef Tenderloin with Mint and Greens



We are still discovering the beauty (and deliciousness!) that South Asia has to offer.  Right now it is a safe bet that we are devouring all of the curry that Thailand has! If you have any questions or comments, I will be sure to get back to you when we return :)


Here is another ridiculously tasty, but ridiculously easy dinner for those busy weeknights!

Mushroom Pizza



As we are currently far far away, I have some scheduled posts that are going up.  If you have any questions or comments please let me know and I'll be sure to get back to you when we get home!


I love finding new variations of pizza dishes to try, and when this Mushroom Fontina Pizza popped up in my inbox from Annie's Eats I knew we had to get it on the table as soon as possible!




Using our favourite pizza dough from the book Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes, I was able to whip this up for a quick and tasty weeknight meal. I did have extra mushroom pesto leftover, so I served that with an antipasto platter later in the week and it was delicious!

England and Scotland - October 2011



As we are currently far far away, I have some scheduled posts that are going up.  If you have any questions or comments please let me know and I'll be sure to get back to you when we get home!


As I mentioned last week, I cannot believe that I never shared the pictures from the trip that I took with my Aunt last October!  The two of us went on a whirlwind self-led tour of England and Scotland. It was an absolute blast!

As we are currently flying far far away, I have some scheduled posts that are going up.  If you have any questions or comments please let me know and I'll be sure to get back to you when we get home!


Today I am guest posting on my friend Amy's blog, Do You Know the Muffing Pan?.


Please jump on over there and check out these easy and insanely delicious Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Rolls! And of course, they were made in a muffin pan with love :)


I'll see you over there!

Sawatdi! Selamat tinggal! Farewell!


At least for a few weeks :)


That's right! We are taking off yet again. We just cannot seem to stay in one place! You would think that after a trip to the Mayan Riviera in Mexico, then off to Paris, followed by a trip to San Diego, then a jaunt over to the UK (all of that was in 2011 too, and don't get me started on all of the trips in 2010!) that I would be looking for a chance to stay home for a bit.

iPhone Cake



I think it was only a matter of time before someone asked me to make an iPhone cake!  We recently celebrated my neighbours birthday and his wife had asked me if I could make an iPhone cake as a surprise.  She is pretty awesome, eh?


Pretty much everyone I know with an iPhone never puts it down, and this guy was no exception.  It actually took her a whole week to get a screen shot so that I could get it printed for the cake! I can't imagine the ninja-tactics she had to employ to make it happen.

Chicken and Mushroom Lettuce Wraps



After that 12" monster of a cake, how about something on the savoury side? Just thinking about how much sugar I used for that cake and the buttercream has me craving these tasty lettuce wraps for some much-needed balance.

A Shopper's Birthday Cake



Hello! I'm still here, I promise! We are gearing up for our big trip next week, but no worries, I have still been cooking and baking up a storm! Now all I need is some time to get to work to share all of these delicious things with you :)


This is the third pink cake that I made in as many weeks back in January, which lead to the creation of this orange-yellow ombre cake in order to introduce some colour variation into my desserts. I still love that cake!
