These Cinnamon and Allspice Baked Tomatoes are one of the easiest summer eats I make. What is great is the fact that you need only 5 pantry ingredients and 5 mins of prep to whip up these roasted tomatoes. But the real magic is the fact that they can be served as a side dish, an appetizer or even as the main dish Seriously, there is nothing better than biting into some warm bread, wrapped round the spiced tomatoes, as the juices run down your arms....

I’ve made my love for Damsons very well known. These unremarkable looking little plums often get mistaken for mutant blueberries or weird grapes and overlooked entirely. The first time I saw them (being the grape hater that I am) I almost ignored them completely. Lucky for all of us though, my curiosity got the better of me, and the few pounds I brought home with me that day ultimately became my original Damson Plum Jam, still one of my favorites to this day....

I told you something good would come out of those lovely peaches and tomatoes. I think we’ve been ‘stuck’ in winter mode since, well, winter. In fact, last week, we had a friend in town, and decided to cook some of the heaviest, hottest meals in our recipe book. Go figure. After a few days in front of the stove and 95 degrees of sticky heat outside, we finally realized that it was, in fact, summer....
I simply adore persimmons, which I believe to be entirely underutilized in cooking and baking. In fact, my all-time favorite green bean recipe (which I made again this year for Thanksgiving) utilizes persimmons in a savory manor, but they are most often found in sweet treats and bready things. These scones, or scone muffins (scuffins? Hmm, not quite as appetizing-sounding as a cronut) give you the best of both scones and muffins: a light and crunchy top and a moist and tender bottom....
New favourite carb anyone?? Types Of Couscous But, before I go further though let’s chat about the different types of couscous. Moroccan Instant Couscous The one most easily found in supermarkets and corner shops is the instant couscous which is made from small bits of semolina. These have already been partly cooked for us so they are very ‘instant’ to cook. This is the type of couscous that I will be talking about in this post....

Basically an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie in cake form, this quick and easy snack cake makes for a sweet afternoon treat. It’s ridiculously easy, uses only one bowl, and is the perfect balance of sweetness—no frosting necessary. Every so often, when I’m feeling particularly uninspired, I like to pull out my grandma Elaine’s old recipe box and flip through the faded index cards and magazine clippings inside. Despite the fact I’ve had the box for 5 years now, if I inhale deeply, it still carries the scent I will forever associate with her kitchen....

I’ve never been a soup fan. But some days, especially in the middle of January, that’s all I want: a nice, steaming bowl of soup. While I’d love to indulge in some cheesy creamy soup, I know that my stomach would kill me. I have learned, in my just over a year of cream-lessness, that there are ways to ‘cheat’. To trick the mouth into thinking it’s eating melted cheese – when really it’s just a thick, rich homemade aioli, or a creamy soup that contains not the slightest trace of cream....

Splenda? Seriously? I’ve never seen a recipe actually call for it before. We omitted it completely, a whole cup of any type of sugar/sweetener is way too much in my opinion. I used less sugar as well, maybe 1/3 cup total. Maybe that was why the lime was too strong. Recipe from Epicurious. Makes 4 servings. Directions For dressing: Mix lime juice, sugar, Splenda, soy sauce, garlic, and pepper flakes in a bowl; set aside....

(and the camera batteries are in the charger!) We’re really hoping we’re doing all of this right. I mean, there isn’t any complete tutorial that I’ve found (with photos!) of how to prepare a turkey for roasting… I’m reading stuff about tucking the wings somehow under somewhere and wha? Oh well. Tie them with a string and hope it all comes out for the best. Liquid in the pan? No liquid?...
