December 28, 2016 by Ricki Heller 2 Comments

Can you feel the excitement? It’s almost the New Year!!

Can you feel the excitement? It’s almost the New Year!! Despite the complete lack of snow here in the Toronto area this year, I’m more energized and primed for the new year than I have been in years (okay, maybe it has a little something to do with my loathing of snow.

Rutabaga Gratin

December 2, 2010 by Ricki Heller 23 Comments

My recipe this week, surprisingly, involves rutabaga. (It’s only a surprise, really, if you know my history with this gnarly root–but we’ve now gotten past our differences, the ‘Baga and I). It all started in the Garden of Eden. Well, okay, not literally, but it began with the promise of a portrait. And before that, it had its […]
