Okay, so today’s the day you learn how to make my favourite Mennonite refrigerator pickles. This recipe is easy to make, and it requires absolutely zero pickling skills. You don’t have to sterilize the jars or anything. Just make sure you have the ingredients and a fridge, and you’re good to go! My Oma used […]
Chile is a side/topping for just about anything. It’s a lot like a fine fresh salsa or hot sauce – and IT IS VERY HOT. You can make it with any kind of hot pepper, but since jalapeños are probably the most accessible in North America, we decided to make it with those. We have also made this with Scotch Bonnet peppers before, and let me tell you, those are also delicious – but definitely more spicy! So, if you want to go for a milder version of this sauce, go for a milder pepper.
I love peach iced tea. Actually, I love iced tea in general, but I have to say I’m an especially huge fan of iced tea with the light, fresh flavour of peaches hidden in the background. I created this recipe after making a batch of Peach Raspberry Jam because I had a ton of peach […]
I love homemade jam. I remember visiting my Oma (my mom’s mom) when I was a kid, and she always seemed to have lots of it on hand. She also always made her own homemade bread or rolls, and encouraged us to eat lots of it, which made the experience of visiting her that much […]

Here’s a recipe that’s all about nostalgia for me. My Oma used to make this, and one day, while I was pregnant, I got it into my mind that I really wanted to have it again… So I set to work trying to re-create her recipe (I wasn’t sure how she made it, or if […]
With the peak of fall just ahead of us, I figured it was time to get some apple things up on on the blog. This homemade apple pie filling is one of the easiest things you’ll ever make; it smells like all the warm coziness of fall and tastes like the season’s greatest joys. What […]
Alright everybody, it’s time for another staple to add to your recipe collection! These tortillas are actually remarkably easy to make; although, it can be a bit time consuming. I like to make these with one other person, ideally. That way, one of you can roll the tortillas into shape, and your buddy can fry […]
Okay, so this recipe is so simple I almost feel embarrassed to post it… except that if you don’t know how to make it yet, the time has come, and your joy is about to multiply. So, post it, I will! This is an all-season, all-time favourite that everybody needs to know how to make […]
Sometimes, especially on cold winter days, the thing I really want is a fresh summary salad. You know, the kind that makes your eyes a little brighter with the burst of fresh goodness going into you; the sort that makes you feel like summer might be coming soon. I love tabouleh, and one day I […]
