Pi(es), Glorious Pi(es)
Happy Pi Day! And what better way to celebrate Pi Day than with pie? That's what a group of friends and I did this past weekend as we celebrated the occasion with a potluck Pi(e) Day, hosted by my friend and superstar hostess Jen. The rule of the game? Everyone bakes a pie, sweet or savoury, and brings it to the party to share.

| Chocolate pecan rum "pi" |
If I thought Cookie Day was overwhelming, I'm not quite sure what to call Pie Day—epic, that's for sure. There were fourteen bakers expected at the gathering, and when all the pies were assembled at the table, we were faced with 23 pies. Twenty-three glorious pies. Tourtière du shack. Curry beef. Chocolate pecan rum. Strawberry rhubarb. Banoffee with candied bacon. Tarte d'érable. Yuzu meringue. The list of pies goes on!

Peanut Butter Cheesecake
Day in and day out, we're faced with so many choices and decisions. What makes one thing better than the other? What's right? What's wrong? Don't you just wish that you didn't need to make a decision, and you could have it all?
That is what happened to me one day, and it resulted in this Peanut Butter Cheesecake. I was left in a dilemma of whether to bake something with peanut butter or bake a cheesecake before I thought, "Hey, let's just put the two together and beautiful things will happen."

Roasted Broccoli and Spelt Salad with Feta
Lunch lately has been uninspiring. If I'm not staring into a sad container of last night's leftovers, then it's simple salad greens with the usual suspects—lettuce, parsley, celery, grated carrots, cucumber, avocado, tuna salad and toasted walnuts. And when things get really uninspiring and hopeless, I just treat myself out to lunch.

French Fridays with Dorie: Pumpkin-Gorgonzola Flan
This whole post can really be summed up in four words: I. Love. This. Recipe.
I haven’t been able to stop raving about Dorie Greenspan’s Pumpkin-Gorgonzola Flan all week because it’s that good. I’m sure many French Friday with Dorie followers will also agree.

Chicken Melt
Sometimes the best meals come out of spontaneity: opening up your fridge or cupboards and seeing what you have in stock. I don't have the luxury of doing that very often. The week is pretty hectic so I usually have to plan around work, and I'm the kind of shopper who needs to bring a detailed grocery list with me or otherwise I'll buy everything that fancies my whim and end up throwing a lot out before I can get through it.

Watermelon, Feta and Black Olive Salad
I hope everyone has been finding ways to stay cool during this heat wave in eastern central Canada (and for that matter, the rest of Canada and east-coast USA). It’s been hot and humid lately, and with humidex reaching mid 40s, my kitchen has been closed. I live in a non-air conditioned apartment, so there was no way I was going to turn on the stove only to make my 30+°C apartment even hotter.

Perth County Week: Monforte Dairy
Much like its namesake across the pond, Stratford (Ontario) is often associated with the theatre. It’s home to the popular Stratford Festival, highlighting classic Shakespeare as well as musicals and various other playwrights. And recent months, Stratford has also become known as “Justin Bieber’s hometown.”
