A few of Ed’s friends stopped by in Kingston for lunch one day. We only had two hours notice, but that was enough time to put a menu together, run out and get groceries, and host a miniature BBQ. Luckily, I had some miniature frozen strawberry pies in the freezer. (See the menu and recipes below.) I love miniature food (see my miniature food display here) and I think it’s a great way to entertain, especially if you’re serving a light meal or throwing a baby shower. I love that this was all finger food and cutlery was only required for the dessert. A review of some of President’s Choice’s new summer 2011 products is also provided below.

In Main Course, Other Dishes, Sides and Sauces, Soups and Salads on July 5, 2011 at pmI made up a Southern style picnic basket for Ed and I last weekend. The weather didn’t cooperate so we had to enjoy it indoors, but Ed loved it nonetheless. I’ve shared our menu and some recipes, as well as some other Southern picnic menu ideas below. Feel free to add more suggestions in a comment! (See here for French picnic (pique-nique) menus!)
Cheese Fondue
In Other Dishes on January 25, 2010 at pmI spent my 2009 birthday weekend in Montreal, Quebec and bought a basket full of cheeses from La Fromagerie Hamel (my favourite cheese shop) and baguettes from Premiere Moisson. When we got back, I tried making cheese fondue for the first time. I made an authentic swiss fondue and found the wine and kirsch too strong for my taste. So if you’re like me, you might like my version of a mild swiss cheese fondue.
