Food Photography Tips and Tricks – Say Cheese!

By //  by Dee Brun 3 Comments

If you have ever stumbled upon any of my social media feeds, you will quickly come to learn that I love food and love taking pictures of it. Yes, I am one of 'those' people. I do not stand on chairs or set up tripods, but my friends and family know—picture first, eat second. I decided to attend a food photo workshop that just so happen to be located at a winery, #WINWIN ... The workshop was put on my Niagara Culinary Tours hosted at Stratus Winery in Niagara on the Lake. Our fearless …

Reinventing Mac and Cheese; Bacon Syrup Anyone?

By //  by Chef Christopher 5 Comments

It’s finally happening. After generations of unpronounceable ingredients resulting in hyper orange powder and a somewhat passable cheese flavor, Kraft Foods announced that they are changing ingredients in their much loved Kraft Dinner Mac and Cheese recipe. Starting in 2016 Kraft is going to use natural ingredients such as paprika and turmeric to color the cheese powder in an attempt to meet the request of over 300,000 people who signed an on-line petition asking the manufacturer to consider …

Our Favourite Meatload

Our Favourite Meatloaf

By //  by Candace Sampson 1 Comment

A few weeks ago I went on and on about these Classic Weeknight Tacos from Campbell's. I was blown away by the amazing taste Campbell's® Tomato with Basil & Oregano soup added to the recipe and was plotting ways to use this soup more in other recipes. Sloppy Joes I thought, tossed with pasta and served over nachos. What I didn't consider was meatloaf! Thankfully Campbell's did, with this recipe for Our Favourite Meatloaf. Like every Campbell's recipe we've tried before this was a …

Creamy Perogie Dinner

By //  by Candace Sampson 3 Comments

There's been an interesting trend lately in my house—I hand my husband a recipe and he cooks it. I then photograph and eat it. In news that will surprise no one, I am really liking this trend. He was quick to jump in and make the Campbell's Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo and he insisted on  making this Campbell's Creamy Perogie Dinner. I will admit I was skeptical trying this. I am a perogie purist—onions, bacon, sour cream—nothing more, nothing less. I'm not joking when I say that a …

Chocolate Coconut mousse

Delicious Dairy-Free Chocolate Coffee Coconut Mousse

By //  by Life In Pleasantville 1 Comment

I love a few things in life. I love coffee, and chocolate, and...oh yes! I love my kids, and dessert, and also coconut. It's pretty easy to make me happy if a day can somehow involves all these things. We've been trying to eat a healthier diet here at my house, and since cold and flu season is upon us, that means watching our sugar intake in hopes of keeping our immunity strong. But we love sweets, especially after dinner, me more so than my kids even. I'm also trying to reduce carbs and …
