What the kitchen team's excited about this month (February 2014)
Smart snacks
When a 3 p.m. snack emergency strikes, our fave healthy pick-me-ups are these soft and sweet coconut date rolls. One bite and we know you’ll be hooked too.
Natural Delights coconut date rolls, $5.
Cute cups
Who doesn’t want a little treat on Valentine’s Day? We sure would love to wake up to a croissant and a cup of tea served in this (hint, hint!).
Valentine's Day mug, $11, Williams-Sonoma.
Cheesy goodness
From a small American cheese maker comes the heavenly new book Cowgirl Creamery Cooks. It takes everyday recipes, like chicken fingers and pancakes, and elevates them to yummy new heights. Get the recipe for their cottage cheese pancakes with crème fraîche and jam.
Cowgirl Creamery Cooks, Sue Conley and Peggy Smith, $26.
Tidy counters
Turn an underused baking dish into a condiment holder. Having a spot for pinch pots of finishing salt, little bottles of vinegars and favourite sauces makes all the difference in keeping those work areas ready for action.
Creamy island butter
P.E.I.’s beloved Cows Creamery doesn’t just make fabulous ice cream and quirky T-shirts. Now we can keep our fridge stocked with its luxurious slow-churned butter.
Creamery butter, $6, Cows Creamery.
