Ginger and Spice Cake

November 29, 2012 by EmmaEats

Not all cakes have to be frilly, frosted and fantastical in nature to knock your socks off. [gigya src=”http://grooveshark.com/songWidget.swf” width=”204″ height=”40″ flashvars=”hostname=cowbell.grooveshark.com&songIDs=28028389&style=metal&p=0″ allowScriptAccess=”always” wmode=”window”] We’re heading into the holiday season and this cake is the perfect way to kick it off. It doesn’t sparkle. It’s not iced. It isn’t fancy in any sense of the word. But what it lacks in wow factor at first sight, it makes up for with the first bite. We’ve been eating it ever since […]

Chicken Sausage and Shrimp Gumbo

November 22, 2012 by EmmaEats

Gumbo. Creole. Etouffee. Jambalaya. Mmmmmm. [gigya src=”http://grooveshark.com/songWidget.swf” width=”204″ height=”40″ flashvars=”hostname=cowbell.grooveshark.com&songIDs=26712887&style=metal&p=0″ allowScriptAccess=”always” wmode=”window”] Emma has a bit of a love affair with New Orleans. After reading some Princess and the Frog books (she hasn’t watched the movie yet — how will she react to the Shadow Man and his compatriots?!) and hearing about Princess Tiana enjoying her father’s gumbo, she became intrigued with it. Here we go again: she shows the interest and I’m all too happy to introduce her to […]

Chicken Tagine with Preserved Lemons and Olives

November 8, 2012 by EmmaEats

I’m not ready for cold weather but I am ready for more warm food. This kind of food. [gigya src=”http://grooveshark.com/songWidget.swf” width=”204″ height=”40″ flashvars=”hostname=cowbell.grooveshark.com&songIDs=375739&style=metal&p=0″ allowScriptAccess=”always” wmode=”window”] Emma’s first exposure to Moroccan food was at Epcot in the Moroccan pavilion. She loved the music and the dancing. G and I loved the food. She thought of Aladdin and Princess Jasmine. We thought of warm complex spices, flavourful sweet dates and preserved lemons. With Emma’s love for “all things Moroccan”, we couldn’t let […]

Lucky Ducky Dhal

October 26, 2012 by EmmaEats

On a typical evening, everyone has the same dinner in our household. [gigya src=”http://grooveshark.com/songWidget.swf” width=”204″ height=”40″ flashvars=”hostname=cowbell.grooveshark.com&songIDs=26226305&style=metal&p=0″ allowScriptAccess=”always” wmode=”window”] We don’t make a habit of preparing foods explicitly for the kids versus the adults. On a few occasions though, things happen to work out that we can do this easily and everyone benefits from the effort. Recently, we had pizza for dinner and there were leftovers for the following evening. It was a particularly wet and tiring day and I […]

Winter is Coming — Apple Spice Layer Cake with Brown Sugar Cinnamon Frosting [Dairy-Free]

September 27, 2012 by EmmaEats

Thanksgiving is nearly upon us. I am thankful that although winter is coming, it is not quite here. Thankfully, it’s still months away! [gigya src=”http://grooveshark.com/songWidget.swf” width=”204″ height=”40″ flashvars=”hostname=cowbell.grooveshark.com&songIDs=26123328&style=metal&p=0″ allowScriptAccess=”always” wmode=”window”] We’re just being greeted by Autumn — with her cool evenings, sunny days and breathtaking colours. It also means apple season is here and it’s time to take advantage of something else Autumn has brought us. Crisp, fresh and flavourful apples. This apple cake was inspired by many attempts to […]

Sugar Pie Honey Bunch – Apple Crumble Pie

November 23, 2011 by EmmaEats

There was not a lot of pie in my house growing up. We had a lot of scrumptious homemade European desserts that my mother made, but pie was not included in the repertoire. [gigya src=”http://listen.grooveshark.com/songWidget.swf” width=”204″ height=”40″ flashvars=”hostname=cowbell.grooveshark.com&songIDs=13741520&style=metal&p=0″ allowScriptAccess=”always” wmode=”window”] That meant that this year, when I decided that Emma *had* to have pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving, I didn’t have a long-held family recipe for pie crust. And the impression I had of pie crusts was they had to have […]
