So when I got home today after a busy day at work I knew exactly was I was going to make, Martha Stewarts Pineapple Coconut muffins! She makes a loaf but I love lil muffins so i can give them away and this way it lessen the chances of me having an entire loaf of this scrumptious treat! Here is the original recipe but I made a couple alterations to make it a little less sinful. <br />

Don't you just love those produce boys in your local wholefoods that put aside the best stuff for you. We'll I am a lucky gal and have one who placed a whole box of mangos aside for moi! After eating two in a row... I began to think... what will I do with the other 10 mangos! I'm about to get iron chef up in here with some mangos!

I go for months with no urge and then like a lightning bullet it hits me and I need a bite of a 70% dark of goodness! I've gotten to know myself pretty well by this point and so I know to stock up incase this happens... but this time my mind slipped and nowhere in the house was choclate not even a chip to be found! (we used them for poker night last week). So 30mins later I found myself down aisle 3 in Wholefoods glazed over in from of a wall of Chocolate. Somehow the one chocolate bar I came in for turned into 4 marvellous crafted bars of bliss! I'm a sucker for really good quality chocolate it's one of the things I splurge on. And with Valentines day approaching I'm sending out a little hint that anyone can win me over with Valrhona!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Last night I went to one of my favourite restaurants in the city called Chambar. And as always the service and meal was superb. At the moment Vancouver is in the midst of dine-out and so I was a bit nervous about getting a table but lucky for us they opened Cafe Medina next door to accommodate (this is my second fav spot for brunch). I went with my foodie friend from new york who I knew would love it. Something about the atmosphere in the space with the lights and candles always makes the Chambar dining experience just that much better then other spots in Vancouver. But back to the food. For starters I love beets so I ordered the beet and fennel with pomegranate and sheeps feta salad and Korey had the roasted celeriac and morel soup which was presented in a beautiful fashion with the server pouring the soup at the table over a bowl of apples, watercress and lingonberries. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Next up... Mussels (the main reason I am so in love with Chambar) with tomato and coconut YUM! And if I am correct the other dish was Arctic Char. For desert I went right for the ice-cream </span></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">and Chocolate Salted chocolate caramel bar and when it was presented the icecream was quickly melting so I did what any sain person would do and quickly ate it up! The other desert was </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Lemon curd, toasted meringue, and thyme scented shortbread.

My dear friend has come back to Vancouver finally since being away in Paris for studies (way to long). The morning we were going to meet I woke to a layer of thick snow. I love the snow for the fact that it made this journey for breakfast just that much more amazing! If you are hungry and feel like an amazing breakfast do it and smother it in Maple Syrup!

When I was in Las Vegas in August with the gals we saw the <a href="http://www.noburestaurants.com/waikiki/experience/introduction/">Nobu</a> sign that read 'soon to open' and were bummed! My sister has raved about it and says its amazing! .... well i finally had my chance to experience the place in Hawaii and boy did it live up to the hype! We order a couple appetizers and some fancy sangria cocktails! I am so in love with Nobu... I might even go as far as say its reason enough to travel somewhere as Nobu is a destination worth visiting... just be careful you could leave with a hefty bill at the end as the couple sitting next to us rang in at $600!

When I was in Hawaii this past week I went to the local farmers market and was surprised in the lack of fresh veggies and fruits, however, I came across these Hawaiian donuts called <a href="http://www.mrbreakfast.com/superdisplay.asp?recipeid=1340">Malasada</a>! These two amazing chicks (check out the gal with the purple hair) make malasada every wednesday for the market in Waikiki and they were amazing. They had all the flavours like pineapple, guava, strawberry, chocolate, peach... how could i resist! </div>

We were lucky with out time and made it up and down cypress just as it began to rain. It felt good to go up and experience nature and become reminded again of the beauty vancouver holds. And on that note after our outbound adventure we were hungry and so to Save On Meats we went. Now as a vegetarian this doesn't seem like the best spot however you are mistaken! I ordered the veggie chilli with a home made biscuit that was amazing! The gal sitting next me me ordered a giant rootbeer float that looked just perfect with the icecream scoops melting down the glass. This place I once thought to be totally odd and would never dream of stepping foot inside but today it was well worth the wait! check out <a href="http://saveonmeats.ca/">Save On Meats</a>!<div>

Actually, I like the texture of these cookies best when they’re baked from frozen. Scoop the dough onto a sheet pan and freeze until hard; then transfer the dough mounds to a freezer bag or other airtight container. Do not defrost before baking, and plan to add four or five minutes to the baking time.</span>missandmatchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02540762834203247886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014675869758432146.post-63580732667943300432011-09-11T23:32:00.000-07:002011-09-18T10:08:03.412-07:00The Best Banana BreadK!

So lucky we get to pick for a bit longer in the september berry harvest! But what to make? Obviously the norm would be to make a pie but.... confession Im not a pie person.

I thought it mustn't be but perhaps as the last couple days of August approach why not toast the end of summer with a mint julep. How tasty and easy does this look? Totally making myself one of these in the next couple days!missandmatchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02540762834203247886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014675869758432146.post-45253294065213972732011-08-29T23:12:00.000-07:002011-08-29T23:13:29.676-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YSQkpV5xRlQ/Tlx-oYfiMwI/AAAAAAAACr8/NEnTTgdNAdg/s1600/5883977088_eeaffc84d0_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YSQkpV5xRlQ/Tlx-oYfiMwI/AAAAAAAACr8/NEnTTgdNAdg/s640/5883977088_eeaffc84d0_o.jpg" width="425" /></a></div><br />

A couple weeks ago I was invited up to Hornby Island with my neighbours and there kids. The pace of the trip was slow and relaxed, we woke up went to the bakery and decided from there which beach to visit and the day would unfold from there. It's hard to believe when you walk down the path and come to this amazing sandy beach that it's still BC. Being on the island away from the hum and brightness of everything it was peaceful and needed. One morning when the family had left I sat on a log with my feet in the sand and soaked it all in, the smell of the ocean, the breeze from the trees was all so magical. I feel a spell has been cast upon me that will force me back to linger a little longer on Hornby Island. Here are a couple shots from the CardBoard Bakerk<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Something Hornby is known for is the weekend Farmers Market. I was totally impressed with the talent this island has and I get the feeling its a place that you grow into a skill or trade.... something you become known for like the cake man, massage lady or chai guy (who i loved)! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S0dJYCXfBTU/TlaJElIqElI/AAAAAAAACrM/uD2rjtN9_GY/s1600/IMG_1298.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S0dJYCXfBTU/TlaJElIqElI/AAAAAAAACrM/uD2rjtN9_GY/s640/IMG_1298.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fxylDz76B0U/TlaI6tv0XzI/AAAAAAAACrI/LQvci9aJzsw/s1600/IMG_1292.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fxylDz76B0U/TlaI6tv0XzI/AAAAAAAACrI/LQvci9aJzsw/s640/IMG_1292.jpg" width="490" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4b5QuePjLAE/TlaIxHyPmbI/AAAAAAAACrE/WT7dKztrX6E/s1600/IMG_1299.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4b5QuePjLAE/TlaIxHyPmbI/AAAAAAAACrE/WT7dKztrX6E/s640/IMG_1299.jpg" width="480" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TUDprQ3izKA/TlaJP7q4LlI/AAAAAAAACrQ/lsbQIjYNLzA/s1600/IMG_1301.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TUDprQ3izKA/TlaJP7q4LlI/AAAAAAAACrQ/lsbQIjYNLzA/s640/IMG_1301.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

A slice of toast with almond butter, eggs with fresh cracked pepper and course sea salt, a crisp crepe with a drizzle of maple syrup... breakfast is the best need i say more. So the other day when my old pal Airbear came to visit from New Zealand I got to thinking about this breakfast business and this is what i came up with. The best way really to start the day off right is turn the kettle on and make some eggs. I used muffin trays to boil the eggs and added fresh herbs and some diced shallots. place one egg with your desired... garlic + dill +salmon whatever. Grease with a lil butter add 2 tbs of water into each tray and bake for 10mins (watch like a hawk!) Poach baby Poach! I left them in the muffin tins for about 8 minutes. And served it with crispy rosemary bread and fruit salad! Tasty Morning!missandmatchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02540762834203247886noreply@blogger.com0
