I put out a poll on Instagram stories over the weekend to let you, my audience, determine what I would make for the blog this week. I gave four options, main, salad, snack, or brunch. Well the people have spoken and “snack” eked out “salad” for the people’s choice award this week. Your wish is…

Apple & Blue Cheese Tartlets with Icewine Glaze
I think this is what they had in mind when they coined the term “food porn.” Something about puff pastry that just makes me salivate. Just looking at it you can appreciate its crisp, flaky texture. I know you can’t always judge a book by its cover, but in this case, you can. This bite-sized…
