I’ve been in Canada on vacation for the past 3 weeks, and have been incredibly blessed by my brother and his wife, who have let me invade their kitchen many, MANY times.  Thank you SO much Brian and Briana – your hospitality has been amazing!

But they have also asked me to do some catering (provide desserts and other stuff) for various events they have had during this time, so I thought I’d do a quick recap of all I’ve made (and failed).  The photos aren’t necessarily of the exact things I made, but they contain links to the recipes if any of them catch your eye and you feel like trying it out!

PS Sorry the photo alignment isn’t perfect – for some reason I couldn’t get this to work after I edited a few things – bear with me as I learn more about this website design thing!

Gee, I did do a lot of baking, didn’t I?  And that’s not all I made during my time in Canada.  I made up a few things for the US National Food Day quest (details here) that were either just for me or didn’t work out so I don’t have the recipes on my website.  But you can follow my adventures in the Quest updates (subscribe with your e-mail address in the right-hand corner here) or on Twitter @sarahcookathome.

Next week I’ll have lots more recipes to share my successes (hopefully) with you as we’re officially moving to the US so I need to use up a whole pile of ingredients, as well as continue the Quest.  Stay tuned!

As always I’d love your comments on anything you see here, and suggestions on how to make the website better, what type of recipes you’d like to see etc.

Until next time, enjoy cooking at home (or wherever you may be!)

Sarah
