I like sangria a lot, but there's one massive problem with most sangria recipes that are circulating out there. They assume you: a) have an enormous number of people partaking with you, b) you're a lush, or c) you're okay with leftovers going flat. None of these options suit me. Oh sure, I have an enormous number of people at my house at most times, but five-sevenths of them are not of drinking age, and I'm not that kind of mom. Can I get an amen out there from someone? I have a solution. Raise your hand if you want a straw and a lounge chair and a glass of that right now. Yes? My hand is up, too. Way up. This solves all of my View Post
Fromage Fort (Cheese Spread)
Do you ever get invited to last minute shindigs? Have you heard of Fromage Fort? Do you love cheese? That last question is the most important really, because this is a recipe for cheese lovers. Serious cheese lovers only. Because this is how you use up the odds-and-ends in your cheese collection. You do have a cheese collection, right? A nub of Romano, a hunk of Cheddar, a couple tablespoons of crumbled bleu, some Asiago pieces rattling around in a bag or a drawer or a container in your refrigerator... The French ride to the rescue here, with classic Fromage Fort. Fromage Fort translates as "strong cheese" and believe you me, View Post
Guaranteed Crispy BAKED Sweet Potato Fries
Guaranteed Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries are a perennial favourite here on Foodie with Family for a great reason. So many of you have finally made crispy, crunchy, delicious sweet potatoes at home with the recipe.

I can't think of a single food I crave more consistently than View Post
Easter Bunny Bread
Easter Bunny Bread is a longstanding tradition in our family and my kids look forward to it even more than their Easter baskets! You can make it with frozen bread dough or with any homemade sandwich or shapeable bread dough. My sesame semolina bread dough makes a lovely Easter Bunny Bread. Visit our Bread Recipes page for more fantastic homemade breads! I've been making Easter Bunny Bread since my eldest was a bonnie wee boy in diapers. And seeing as he is now a legal adult and three of his four of his brothers are now full-fledged, card-carrying, certified (and certifiable) teenagers -pardon me while I go hyperventilate for a couple View Post
Fattoush -Crumbled Pita Chip Salad
Today's Fattoush -Crumbled Pita Chip Salad recipe is one of my all-time favourite salads. I eat this at least 3 times a week through the cold winter months when everything is white and all I'm craving is green. With its crisp romaine lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes flecked with fresh herbs, crumbled pita chips, and a fresh-bomb garlic, lemon, and za'atar dressing, Fattoush -Crumbled Pita Salad lifts that winter dreariness for at least as long as I munch the salad. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! It's salad time! And crouton time! I have a two-fer for you on this glorious day. How much do you love salad this time of year? View Post
Creamy Garlic Cauliflower Sauce
You have to taste Creamy Garlic Cauliflower Sauce to believe that something so low in calories can taste so unbelievably indulgent and rich. This is a family favourite! Have you ever stumbled on a recipe that made you holler because it was so good? And then you’re shocked to find out that it’s low in calories and fat? Yeah. No. Neither had I until just a couple of days ago. I was chatting with my friend and fellow food blogger, Mary Younkin of Barefeet in the Kitchen. She isn’t really given to hyperbole about recipes. She makes good food and is content to know and share it without promising the moon. She started View Post
Pumpkin Spice Cake with Maple Frosting + Cider Caramel
Pumpkin Spice Cake with Maple Frosting + Cider Caramel is sure to be a fall favourite. It looks pretty enough for company but is easy enough to whip up to keep on hand for those cake cravings. Fall. Autumn. It's here! Could you pardon me for a moment? (Uh huh, uh huh, uh huhuhhuhuhhuh. Happy DANCE! ) Um, thank you. I kind of needed to get that out of my system. I wait from February fifteenth (there's something so romantic about snow on Valentine's Day) to -oh, say- September twenty first of every year to get to fall. I love pumpkins and apples and squash and brightly coloured leaves and crisp air and apple crisps and oh my View Post
Blueberry Syrup for Pancakes and Homemade Soda | Make Ahead Mondays
I just turned almost-forty. I believe I’ll refer to my entire year that way, because this is my last year before that big four-oh. I think the almost-forty was probably harder than the actual-forty will be to face. The decade birthdays seem like a celebration, where the ones that immediately precede somehow seem like a clanking bell. Or is it just me? As an almost-forty gift, my family gave me something that makes me happier than just about anything else I can imagine. The boys and I had planned to go to the opening day of our local blueberry patch to attempt to put a sizable dent in our annual one-hundred-pounds-of-blueberries goal. My View Post
Strawberry Basil Infused Vodka
I need to get a little science geeky here for a moment. Did you know there are flavour compounds in food that you absolutely, positively cannot release unless you hit 'em with alcohol? It's the truth. There are two reasons for this: Volatility: You know how you can smell whiskey or another strong alcohol right when you open the bottle? It's because alcohol evaporates so quickly and the molecules carry the essence of the flavours straight to your nose. Versatility: Alcohol bonds with both fat and water making it the perfect vehicle to grab every water soluble flavour (basic salty, sweet, bitter, and sour) AND every fat soluble flavour View Post
Black Bean and Corn Tacos | 10 Minute Meal
Today's selection is a lightning fast, super fresh and divinely delicious vegetarian taco that cooks up in under ten minutes. HELLO LOVELY! I can't say that Black Bean and Corn Tacos lack meat because they lack nothing; they're just right as they are. What they are -and I realize this is semantics- is meat free. I hope that by now, you all know me well enough to trust that I'm not going to give you a healthy and/or inexpensive meal that feels like you're wearing a culinary hair shirt, right? I don't do healthy or cheap recipes just to behave. I do healthy and inexpensive recipes that taste like you just made a REALLY good decision for View Post
