Recipe: Citrus Surprise Grapefruit Cake

Ah, the giddy days in the kitchen. You know the ones, where you suddenly see Al Pacino’s face in your morning toast, or you sing “Heard It Through the Grapevine” while measuring out your raisins (complete with hand rolls, if you lived through the ’80s).

Wheat-Oat-Flax Buns: countdown to the Canada Day cookout

Recipe: Wheat-Oat-Flax Buns

“O Canada! Our home and native land
True patriot love in all thy sons command.

“What IS that on top? That’s not potatoes, is it?”

“Yes,” I replied, “Those are most certainly potatoes, and they are indeed on top of this pizza. Along with chopped scallions and melted chunks of Asiago cheese. Ya got a problem with that?”
