Julie and Julia

Yesterday was our book club meeting and we decided to host a brunch. It turned out extremely well considering we tried a couple of new recipes. Champagne and Orange Juice or Mimosa to some, Maple Bacon, Stuffed French Toast, Country-Style Omelette and Potato Bacon Cakes. Julia would of been proud, lots of butter, cream and eggs.

Doris and Chantelle joined us from Ottawa via Skype for the book discussion, but unfortunately Vicki couldn't make it.

I also made a Snowball Chocolate Cake to take to Ken's dinner party later that night. WOW!

Check out the recipes!

Outragious Coconut Cake

Tonight is our book club meeting and we thought this would be a nice winter dessert. It was a bit time consuming to make, but well worth the effort. I really liked making the meringue and I got to stick my fingers in it to make the peaks, not to mention I got to use my blow torch.
