Sugar, sugar

October 20, 2011 by EmmaEats

Just last week, Emma’s Nanna and Grandad returned from a 3-week trip abroad. She was very excited about them coming home and when we told her they were coming for dinner, she knew exactly what she wanted as a treat for their visit: butter tarts. Warm, buttery, brown sugary goodness. Emma’s first exposure to butter tarts was with our friend D. I say “our” friend because D and I became fast friends years ago through work, and when Emma arrived, […]

Made for a prince(ss)

September 9, 2011 by EmmaEats

August was a hot and stormy month around here. On top of the heat, our oven was suddenly on the fritz. Not that I would have turned on the oven in our already hot kitchen. However, this meant that my dessert-baking obsession was taking a serious beating throughout that time. As I’ve mentioned before, when Emma has friends coming by, she selects what treat she’d like to have for the visit. We were preparing to have some friends by for […]

Thoughtful or stingy?

March 29, 2010 by EmmaEats

At one point this past Christmas after Emma had been opening presents for over 4 hours (she was so happy!), I kept thinking that she was gleaning the wrong message about holidays/gift giving/fiscal responsibility/consumerism. I know, she’s only two, but still…and the other day, she was reading and saw Franklin and his friends playing with Tinkertoys and turned to me and said, “we can just buy some of those”, my heart sank. As a result I’ve decided that this Christmas, […]

Rationing. At least this way we won’t eat 4 dozen cookies in one sitting. 😂 . Oatmeal Apricot Cookies . #cookies #oatmeal #delicious #instagood #timefortea #rainydayactivities #instafood #foodoftheday #onthetable #makeahead #homemade #eatwhatyoulove #damnthatsdelish #pursuepretty #bakersgonnabake #bakefromscratch #fbcigers #igerstoronto #emmaeats @canadianfoodies

The day’s almost done and we have only one from a dozen of these left - how have you been celebrating the 4th? #ontheblog #yummy #delicious #instagood #instafood #breakfast #snackfood #pancakes #instasnack #foodoftheday #onthetable #homemade #eatwhatyoulove #damnthatsdelish #madefromscratch #fbcigers #igerstoronto #emmaeats @canadianfoodies #sourdough #maythe4thbewithyou #starwarsday

We’ve been working on trying to support our local small businesses so, for the most part, have a weekly order from one of our favourite bakeries for our bread. We have also taken on a little #sourdough project at home - with the intent of trying to bake a loaf on the #BGE. . Feeding sourdough starter means lots of discard so we’ve been also experimenting with recipes to use that discard, especially with flour being at such a premium these days. @kingarthurflour has a few really great looking recipes including these #crackers. Super quick, ever so simple and we divided the dough to only bake off an evening’s worth. Delicious, crispy and no food waste. Wins all around! . What have you been doing outside of your usual kitchen routines lately? Have you also started working with sourdough? . . #ontheblog #yummy #delicious #instagood #instafood #snackfood #instasnack #foodoftheday #onthetable #homemade #eatwhatyoulove #damnthatsdelish #pursuepretty #bakersgonnabake #bakefromscratch #fbcigers #igerstoronto #emmaeats @canadianfoodies #sourdough #sourdoughbaking #bakewithus

Braided Easter Bread (aka Paszka) . A tradition in our family at Easter - even though we aren’t all together in person this weekend, I know my mother has made some and we are still going to make some. We’ll break some of this beautiful bread together apart. . Wherever you are this long weekend, hoping you are healthy, safe and at home. . . If you’d like to try your hand at this, there’s a conventional and a dairy-free version over on emmaeats.com. . . #ontheblog #yummy #delicious #instagood #instafood #easter #bread #foodoftheday #onthetable #easterbread #homemade #eatwhatyoulove #damnthatsdelish #pursuepretty #bakersgonnabake #bakefromscratch #fbcigers #igerstoronto #emmaeats @canadianfoodies

Mood. . . Thankfully our friends at @zuccariniimporting were able to help us #stayathome and make some magic happen. Thank you so much for helping us through our repair - remotely! . (Not sponsored: Toronto friends, if you’re ever on the market for a new machine or just on the hunt for fantastic coffee at home, reach out to Zuccarini. You won’t be disappointed!) . #saturdayvibes #weekendvibes #supportlocal #coffee #coffeetime #onthetable #eatwhatyoulove #amcoffeepmwine #damnthatsdelish #pursuepretty #emmaeats

So many good things from our local retailers - and our family is so happy to be able to support them. We are so excited that the single slice of bread is all that is left of our purchase of a beautiful miche and frozen pain au chocolate from @epibreads. The simply perfect Époisses are from our friends at @alexonbayview (the fabulous pate went with the rest of the fresh bread!) . Thank you for being there for us! . . #supportlocal #bayviewleasidebia #leasidecommunity #leasidetoronto #wereinthistogether

It’s #day20 of my #20in20. But rather than a celebration, it feels more like a time for comfort and soothing. * This Turkey and Kale Lasagna is really a throw together of all sorts of bits we had in the fridge. While we’ve always been pretty conscientious of food waste, now the extra nubs of cheese, tired kale and leftover roast turkey have all become a little more glamorous and certainly a warm, beautiful meal of #comfortfood. * * Happy Friday, family and friends. Wishing you a warm weekend filled with love! What are you having as your comfort food these days? * * #ontheblog #marchmadness #dinner #instadinner #lunch #yummy #delicious #instagood #instafood #lasagna #turkey #kale #foodoftheday #eggs #cheese #onthetable #homemade #eatwhatyoulove #damnthatsdelish #pursuepretty #bakersgonnabake #fridayvibes #bakefromscratch #fbcigers #igerstoronto #emmaeats @canadianfoodies

Let’s have (virtual) coffee and chat! * * I know this too, shall pass, and when it does, these Chocolate Cherry Biscotti will go perfectly for sharing. * * #tbt #20in20 #marchmadness #sugarrush #dessert #cookies #biscotti #chocolate #cherry #yummy #delicious #instagood #instafood #foodoftheday #onthetable #makeahead #homemade #eatwhatyoulove #damnthatsdelish #pursuepretty #bakersgonnabake #bakefromscratch #fbcigers #igerstoronto #emmaeats @canadianfoodies
