Wild Blueberry Buckle
Growing up in New Brunswick we had wild blueberry pies, cakes, grunts, cobblers, crumble, and crisp. But one of my very favourite treats was this Wild Blueberry Buckle. A buckle is different than a cake. A buckle is a cake that does not buckle under the weight of the fruit. It’s dense but at the […]
MoreAlberta Bison on the Silk Road
Bison is one of Alberta’s signature foods. I love it. So, naturally I love to play around with it. There’s archeological evidence bison have been in Alberta for 120,000 years.

MoreChocolate-Marbled Banana Cream Pie
This Chocolate Marbled Banana Cream Pie is an easy-peasy version of a much more challenging one I made years ago. Finding a stash of puddings in my pantry inspired me to substitute the more difficult made-from-scratch vanilla pastry cream for simple banana cream pie filling in a package. This makes the whole thing so much […]
