Shrimp on the Grill with an Asian Dipping Sauce

Shrimp on the Grill with an Asian Dipping Sauce

Now that I don’t actually need to wear a parka to be outside, my outdoor grill beckons me to cook with it more often.  I love grilling all kinds of foods – it’s quick, the clean up is minimal, and best of all, you get that smoky grilled flavour that you just can’t replicate with […]

Lemon Drop

It’s Mother’s Day today, and I’ve had a wonderfully busy day.  I started out the day with a cup of really good coffee, and got the laundry going.  While cleaning the bathrooms, my daughter asked if we could bake brownies today, and I thought that would be a perfect mother-daughter activity.  So, I had her […]
