Happy Hallowe'en.

I love Hallowe'en. I love costumes. I love costume parties. I love adorable trick-or-treaters. I love chocolate. I love roasted pumpkin seeds. 

Toss seeds in a small amount of oil, sprinkle with salt, paprika, cinnamon, or cajun seasonings. Roast in oven at 300F for 45-60 minutes or until golden brown. Stir occassionally.

Wishing you a Hallowe'en weekend filled with all the things you love,

Farm lover extraordinaire

This past Sunday I spent the day at a farm. My love for food extends into my love for farms. The thought alone of visiting a farm makes me giddy, smiley, and excited beyond belief! Just because I live in downtown Toronto doesn’t mean I can’t occasionally enjoy the farm life - thank goodness! Whittamore’s Farm is only 40 minutes from the city and offers Pick-It-Yourself fun as well as a small market with local fruit, vegetables, cheese, freshly baked goods and other wonderful local products.

It was a beautiful day; perfect picking conditions. We picked strawberries, raspberries, eggplant, tomatoes, green and red peppers, chili peppers, and zucchini. 

Stay tuned this week to see the fruits of my labour - literally!
