Together: Our Community Cookbook
On March 25, 2023 by PamI recently donated a whole box of cookbooks to Women’s Place in Niagara for the book sale that they have annually. However, this week, in watching a documentary about Meghan and Harry, I was introduced to the cookbook, Together. The “Hubb Community Kitchen” came about after a fire in the Grenfell Tower in London brought
Easy Vegetable Biryani Recipe
On March 23, 2023 by PamThis recipe is delicious. You can really put any vegetables at all into it – I thought I might put asparagus but, than I changed my mind. I love “one pot” meals – you can make sheet pan meals or skillet meals or a dutch oven. The flavour is bold because of the spice mixture
Canadian Living Gingerbread Roll Cake – Adapted to Gluten Free without the Roll
On March 20, 2023 by PamFancy gluten free bakeries can do it but, it is VERY difficult to “roll” gluten free cake. Instead of going crazy (because I was taking this cake to a party) and I didn’t want to bring “cracked” rolls, I just created “sandwich” cakes with the cream cheese icing in between.

Fibre Market…
On March 12, 2023 by PamToday, we took a little trip to Hamilton to the 2023 Fibre Market to take a look at some local yarn distributers and dyers. It was a lot of fun to walk around and “touch” some beautiful yarn. Of course, we had to buy a little yarn for ourselves. It was a lot of fun
Flowers in the House…
On March 10, 2023 by PamYou will almost always find flowers in my house. Along with beautiful plants, I love flowers – in pots, in a vase…they bring colour and light during the long winter nights. In the summer, my flowers are in pots around the patio or growing in the front garden, but, when the garden falls asleep in
Granny Squares for the Win!!
On March 6, 2023 by PamAs I continue to make my way through a “Year of Dishcloths”, I am learning so many crochet stitches. The two patterns that I am currently working on introduce the idea of sewing “granny squares” together to make a dishcloth. Sounds like a lot of work? It really is, but they are well worth the
