Forget The Rest, This is The Best Coconut Cream Pie

By //  by Candace Sampson Leave a Comment

Dear Daughters, Let me tell you the story about how I came across the Best Coconut Cream Pie ever. You see, your Boppy (for my readers, this what my girls call their grandfather), used to rave to me about how his sister, your Great Aunt Patricia, used to make him the best Coconut Cream Pie. Your Boppy came from a big family, so when he was just a boy, his oldest sister was married with children of her own and lived just down the road from him. After school, he would rush to her …

How to Make Eggnog Like a Boss

By //  by Anne Radcliffe 5 Comments

Once upon a time last Christmas season, I was enamored with the idea of making eggnog all the things. Eggnog cookies, eggnog bread, eggnog treats and drinks and toddies and etc. etc. etc.  And then I made a terrible mistake. While I was at the store, I looked at the ingredients on a box of eggnog. After reading through and realizing that much of the commercially boxed stuff not only doesn't have any eggs in it, it's usually with 1% of dairy or less (what the actual fudge?), I …

Busy Morning Breakfast Sandwich

By //  by Lyndsay Wells 5 Comments

Okay, so before I get started with today's amazing dish - a breakfast sandwich that's so kick-ass you may never drive past a Tim Horton's drive-thru window again - I thought I'd take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Lyndsay Wells, and although I don't ride around on a broomstick or cast spells per se, I do go by the handle "The Kitchen Witch" in certain circles. I once read a Nora Roberts novel about a group of witches who all looked like Victoria's Secret models despite their …

Skillet Bacon and Cheese Strata

By //  by Candace Sampson 4 Comments

My good friend Heather, from Globetrotting Mama, was in town for the Social Capital Conference this weekend. I asked her to join us for breakfast today before she went home. She said she would, but only under one condition. That I go to absolutely no trouble at all for her. Fine. I told her she could pour her own cereal. She said that I was now taking it to extremes. Funny girl, that Heather. I remembered seeing this strata recipe in my special recipe edition of Canadian Living magazine. …
