Tis the Season to be Scary by Vicki Delany - Books of My Heart

When one lives in a town called Rudolph, Christmas-themed celebrations and life are unsurprisingly the thing, but this time the ho-ho-hos are mixed with the nasty trick of murder when a caterer’s treats for a Halloween charity gala poison an obnoxious guest.  Vicki Delany’s cozy mysteries are not new territory for me, but this particular […]

Blueberry Crumble Pie from Vicki Delany

 Ah, blueberries. The perfect dessert all on their own and the perfect ingredient for pie!  I might argue that blueberries are the best food of them all.  Feel free to challenge me if you like. This pie is lovely, sort of a cross between a pie and a crumble. I made it when I was having a minor illness, but I had company coming and thought it would be easier for me than rolling out

Vanilla Cupcakes with Vanilla Icing from Vicki Delany

Sometimes, in our rush to update everything and experiment with textures and flavours and add extravagant decorations, we forget about the tried and true. As they say in literature, the classics are classic for a reason Case in point is these vanilla cupcakes. Simple. Plain, Easy. And absolutely delicious. I made these because my daughter specifically asked for vanilla cupcakes for her birthday

Around the Kitchen Table: Our Favorite Summer Salads + 6-Book #Giveaway!

DARCI HANNAH: It’s the first Sunday in August, and you know what that means, time for another lively discussion around our kitchen table! It’s my turn this month, and I really want to talk about a subject that this summer has become a bit taboo due to an untimely outbreak of Cyclospora that’s hit hard here in Michigan, and all around the United States. For me summer is synonymous with salads. I

Easy Blueberry Cobbler #Recipe Peg Cochran/Margaret Loudon

 This was the easiest cobbler recipe I have ever made!  It took minutes to put it together.  I love blueberries and they were on sale, but thanks to the cyclospora parasite outbreak, we've been warned against eating berries unless they've been cooked.  I had no choice but to turn them into something like a cobbler!  I used two pints of blueberries and next time I think I

#Spotlight on Lucy Burdette’s Key West #giveaway

LUCY BURDETTE: When my hubby and I visited Key West in 2006, we did not expect to fall in love with the island. But like so many others, we did exactly that, and now we live there half the year. Even more importantly, the characters of the Key West food critic mystery series live and work there too. It’s a quirky and delightful setting and very much real. When I’m trying to figure out the plot

Banana Muffins with Walnuts and Dried Cranberries from Vicki Delany

Another excellent way of using up those over-ripe bananas.  I made these ahead of a family visit and found that they froze very well.  Just leave them out for about half an hour before eating or give them a quick 10 – 15 seconds in the microwave and breakfast is ready! I used four bananas to make the 2 cups as needed. Most recipes will tell you to prepare the muffin tins. I now use

Happy Canada Day from Vicki Delany. Celebrate with a Maple Walnut Pie

Darci kindly exchanged days with me so I could wish all my Canadian (and Canadian-friendly) readers a happy Canada Day.  Today marks one hundred and fifty-nine years since Confederation, which on July 1, 1867 brought the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia together into the Dominion of Canada, an independent dominion of the British Empire.

Coconut Curry Meatballs from Vicki Delany

 An interesting twist on meatballs for someone who’s looking for something different for dinner one night.  I served this with rice, but noodles should work as well. They were tasty and I’d encourage you to give it a try, if you like, but as for me, I think I prefer my meatballs in proper tomato sauce over pasta. Coconut Curry Meatballs Ingredients: 2/3 cup bread crumbs 1 egg 2
