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, […]

One of the wonderful parts of writing a food blog and being on Instagram is that occasionally family and friends share their tried and true favourites with me. It is inspiring and heartwarming to understand how those recipes are appreciated and enjoyed in their households. And, I so value that I am trusted with a longtime “secret” recipe. . So thank you @gailburton for sharing these simple and absolutely tasty flourless morsels - while we had to substitute soybutter for peanut butter and roasted sunflower seeds for peanuts, we love them and know they will become part of our regular rotation! . Flourless Soybutter and Sunflower Chocolate Chip Cookies . #yummy #delicious #instagood #instafood #instacookies #friendfriday #eatwhatyoulove #dessert #bakersofinstagram #bakersgonnabake #homebaking #homemade #bakefromscratch #kingarthurflour #sharingiscaring #chocolate #peanutfree #sunflowerseeds #sweettooth #sugarrush #foodoftheday #foodstagram #onthetable #cookies #timetoeat #damnthatsdelish #fbcigers #igerstoronto #emmaeats @canadianfoodies

It’s Thursday night of the long weekend! Here’s hoping it’s been a simply sweet start to it for you! . Oreo and Easter M&M Magic Bars - although these are mostly for the kids, I have to admit I’ve been sneaking a few bites too. . #yummy #delicious #instagood #instafood #instacookies #eatwhatyoulove #dessert #bakersofinstagram #bakersgonnabake #holidaybaking #easter #homebaking #homemade #bakefromscratch #magicbars #hellodollybars #chocolate #sweettooth #sugarrush #foodoftheday #foodstagram #onthetable #cookies #weekendvibes #timetoeat #damnthatsdelish #fbcigers #igerstoronto #emmaeats @canadianfoodies

Happy FRIYAY! . Friend Friday is the right day to refill our cookie reserves. We bake half for sharing and freeze the remaining dough for future friend fun! #sharingiscaring . Whole Wheat Chocolate Chunk Cookies with Walnuts and Cherries, Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies, White Chocolate Cranberry Biscotti and Chocolate Chip Biscuits . #yummy #delicious #instagood #instafood #instacookies #friendfriday #eatwhatyoulove #dessert #bakersofinstagram #bakersgonnabake #homebaking #homemade #bakefromscratch #kingarthurflour #chocolate #cherry #funfetti #sweettooth #sugarrush #foodoftheday #foodstagram #onthetable #cookies #weekendvibes #timetoeat #damnthatsdelish #fbcigers #igerstoronto #emmaeats @canadianfoodies

Recently, I tagged along on a visit to Little India for a school Social Studies project. So delighted I did to get the chance to enjoy the colours, sights, sounds and fragrances - and the tastiest meal over @lahoretikkahouse. Wishing some of this mix of daal, chana, palak and aloo gobi, lentils, chickpeas and naan would magically appear tonight for dinner! . #yummy #delicious #instagood #instafood #eatwhatyoulove #realfood #comfortfood #lunch #dinner #foodoftheday #eatinginthe6ix #healthyish #indianfood #wishingfortheweekend #weekendvibes #foodstagram #timetoeat #damnthatsdelish #fbcigers #igerstoronto @canadianfoodies

We outright rejected Mother Nature’s practical joke this weekend and decided we were going to cook like it was Spring even though it wasn’t feeling like Spring. Perfect for our brunch, but would’ve been just as lovely for today’s lunch or light dinner. . Bacon and Gruyère Quiche with Asparagus and Roasted Tomatoes . #yummy #delicious #instagood #instafood #eatrealfood #homemade #madefromscratch #realfood #comfortfood #brunch #lunch #dinner #foodoftheday #slowfood #healthyish #foodstagram #timetoeat #onthetable #inmykitchen #beautifulcuisines #damnthatsdelish #fbcigers #igerstoronto @canadianfoodies #eatwhatyoulove #emmaeats

Something lovely and light for a sunshine-filled first day of #Spring - we are so ready! . #firstdayofspring #yummy #delicious #instagood #instafood #eatrealfood #eatwhatyoulove #homemade #madefromscratch #salmon #avocado #vegan #realfood #fastfood #dairyfree #foodoftheday #healthyish #foodstagram #timetoeat #onthetable #inmykitchen #lunch #beautifulcuisines #damnthatsdelish #fbcigers #igerstoronto @canadianfoodies

There has been a lot of soup, stew, and comfort food at our house these days. Although our winter has been short, Mother Nature has decided to squeeze in as much snow/ice/greyness as she can - I’m certain all of us will be extra appreciative of the sunshine when it finally arrives in the spring! . #tbt to this Moroccan-style Chicken Tagine with Preserved Lemons and Olives. Warm and fragrant, it’s different enough to make a midweek meal seem like something special. Served with a side of couscous (which incidentally I flavour like the rice in the recipe), and it’s the perfect meal. . Find it #ontheblog at https://emmaeats.com/2012/11/08/chicken-tagine-with-preserved-lemons-and-olives/ . . . #yummy #delicious #instagood #instafood #eatrealfood #homemade #madefromscratch #winnerwinnerchickendinner #chicken #realfood #comfortfood #dairyfree #foodoftheday #slowfood #healthyish #foodstagram #timetoeat #dinnerisserved #onthetable #inmykitchen #dinner #lunch #beautifulcuisines #damnthatsdelish #fbcigers #igerstoronto @canadianfoodies

Hope you’re enjoying a happy 💕 day today. I made a little something extra to share from me to you: Toffee-filled Brownie Heart Pops. Because if there’s any day to go totally over the top, why not have it be today? . . . . #valentines #galentines #delicious #yummy #instagood #instafood #bakersofinstagram #bakersgonnabake #homebaking #homemade #bakefromscratch #kingarthurflour #toffee #chocolate #brownies #sweettooth #sugarrush #foodoftheday #foodstagram #timetoeat #onthetable #holidaybaking #livethelittlethings #pursuepretty #dessert #fbcigers #igerstoronto #eatwhatyoulove #damnthatsdelish #thebakefeed @canadianfoodies
