Roasted Red Pepper and Feta Dip

I get bored with the normal onion dip for veggie trays. This dip is wonderful with veggies and with pita wedges.

Split Pea Soup
Posted in /Cooking/Entrees/Slow_Cooker on Sunday, September 10, 2017
This to me is the flavour of winter and while I can't make this over the wood stove like my Mom used to during a power outage. The slow cooker is a great way to make this meal.
Pie Crust
Posted in /Cooking/Desserts/Pie on Sunday, September 10, 2017
Crust Ingredients
2 Tbsp Sugar
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup lard (in most stores you can buy Tenderflake lard right next to the shortening). I know it sounds horrible to use lard, but it really makes the best crusts!
6-7 Tbsp Ice cold vodka
Crust Directions
1. Place dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and cut lard into the dry ingredients
2. Next mix one tablespoon of ice cold water into the dry ingredients at a time until the mixture is unified.
3. Chill dough for 15 minutes in refrigerator
4. Roll dough out in a floured surface and place in a pie dish
Sweet Potato and Cheese Scones
Posted in /Cooking/Breads on Saturday, September 09, 2017
I love all things sweet potato. You may not think the flavours of this go together but they do, and beautifully I might add! This is not an overly sweet scone that you might have with a coffee or tea. It pairs nicely with soup but is sweeter than a traditional biscuit.
Blueberry Buckle

Most people associate memories with flavours. This is the recipe that I associate with Nana and evenings after the sunset at the shore. The cookbook she uses for the recipe opens directly to the page of the recipe, proving how often it is used. This is not a fancy or secret recipe it's actually out of a very old copy of the Gold Medal Flour cookbook. I'm sure many families have used similar recipes, but it is one of my favourite flavour memories.
