Enjoying this new Market & Co. that just opened it’s doors to our Upper Canada Mall here in Newmarket, Ontario 3 days ago. Love the unique stores.

Fresh flowers from “Floralescence” I bought gladiolus and sunflowers so pretty. They make me smile:-)

“Newmarket Olive Co” has delicious Oils and Vinegar for bread dipping or salads and so much more. But hey let them tell you how to use them. “Eat What You Love Drink What You Want” Perfectly said.

Kitchen &CO has class that you too can sign up for, just go see their class list. I attended todays class “Create A Swoon-Worthy Charcuterie & Cheese Board”! Hosted by “Seed To Sausages” I know a lot more about cheeses and sausages now! Good chatting to couples waiting in line and at the table. Fantastic afternoon spent there, I call it “Me Time;-)))”

Oh you should see all the deserts and bread! You will be amazed and I can guarantee you it will be hard to figure out what to get for your sweet tooth!

Chips, Chips and more all freshly made just for You with flavours of Salt and Malt and much more! I tell you people where lining up to get a taste of the “Ray Woody’s Craft Chippery” Chips.

You love fresh fish go see “Pier 87 Fish Market & Grill” wow an oyster bar too!

If pizza is your favorites, especially backed in a wood oven! Oh tell you I plan to take my hubby to “Midici”. One of the restaurants to have a meal. ;-)

Oh yes “Union Chicken” is there too, realy another place to have supper. Hope to meet Chef Michael Angeloni one day too. You should see the camper outside…long line ups just like “Ray Woody’s Craft Chippery” inside!

Yes even our Vince’s Market it their with there fresh fruits and vegetables the best in town!

You like coffee, tea or yes win even that they have in the Market & Co with wine tasting bar.

Soup form Ma’s Best Quality Soup I am sure will taste perfect when you have no time to make a warm tasty soup for you loves one.

Have I told you this is a wonderful place to meet people too. I have chatted with people from Toronto, Sharon, Innisfil and really loved chatting with the 3 couples at my table exchanging how they store cheese, LOL (see class above that I attended).

Smile, now you know what I did for the last 2 days while my hubby was hiking up in the North of Michigan. Taking my daughter to her new work place as I enjoyed her new surroundings too. “Sam I know You Can Do It”

Dehydrated Tomates

Love the rich red colour of these tomatoes.

It is all around us right now the ripe fruits and vegetables are an indication of the end of summer season. Apples, peaches, pears, corn, cabbages and yes tomatoes.

I am luck to have this Holland Marsh wetland close by well about 20 minutes driving distance from my home. As per their website “Produce selections range from more traditional crops such as carrots, onions and celery, to more diverse options like Chinese broccoli, Asian radish, and water spinach”. So a lot of the vegetables I believe are coming from there to our local store that I have right around my home.

I also have a knitting / sewing friend that grows carrots and onions right in Holland Marsh. Luck for me I have been getting a bag here and their from her and her husband. With the onions I make this amazing yummy onion soup. Carrots are great for carrot cake or soup too.

So since yesterday I have been dehydrating 3 baskets full of tomatoes so my hubby can take them on his up-coming hike to Munising Falls Michigan (Pictured Rocks) with his hiking friends.

Have a great September to all of you.

I may have to do the same with apples soon

Toblerone Cake

Yummmyyy yes you did see it right a really big bar of Swiss Toblerone and 1/4 of it goes into this cake.

I started to make this Chocolate chip cake when I notice all the chocolate chips are gone……

Yes I my home we always have chocolate around. Not that we eat a lot of it, but being Swiss “Schoggi” it is a staple all year long. Cutting up about 1/4 of that huge Toblerone bar and adding this to the cake now for the chocolate chips works great too. Sooo yummy, now just have to make sure i do not eat it all on my own…..

File 2016-03-29, 6 31 11 PM — Denise & Fred thanks for the gift. The cake is sooogooooodd…..

Sooo Guete…., eine risen große Schweizer Toblerone Schokolade. Hatte den drang Heute einen Kuchen zu backen Schokoladen Würfenli Kuchen.

Doch wo sind die Schokoladen Chips ? alle weg komisch ?!…..ja in meinem Zuhause haben wir immer Schokolade im Hause. Nicht dass wir viel davon essen, aber da ich Schweizerin bin haben wir immer “Schoggi” im Hause. So 1/4 von der riesen Toblerone Schoggi kommt nun in den Kuchen. Sooo lecker doch muss ich aufpassen das ich alles allein essen werde……

Christmas Baking Time In My Home

December 13, 2015December 15, 2015Cake, Holiday Season, Home Baking4 Comments

As Christmas is getting closer I thought it would be nice to bake something so the home smells like fresh bread.

Yes my “Zopf”is still my favourite to come out of the oven.

I thought I should try something new for a change. So with the same kind of dough I decide to cut the amount of dough in fours and roll them out into circles.

Then I spread some raspberries Jam on it. Topped it with another layer or rolled out dough. spread more jam on it. repeated this one more time. So I ended up with the last dough sheet on the top. Now put in the middle a glass for the centre.

Cut all around into four section and each section into 4 section again. so I had a total of 16 strips. Now to one twist as per picture. Once more twist after that and then pinch it together and fold under just a little so one does not see the ends.

Let it rise a little and then off into the preheated oven at 350 degrees for 40 min. depends on your oven it may take less or more.

Weihnachten rückt näherun d es ist höchste Zeit etwas zu backen, damit das Haus nach frischem Brot duftet. Ja eine “Zopf” ist immer noch mein Favorit.

Doch sollte zur Abwechslung einmal etwas Neues aus dem Ofen kommen. So mit einem Kilo Teig in vier Teile geschnitten und ausrollen zu Kreisen.

Dann belegete ich die erste Scheibe Teig mit Himbeer Marmelade. wieder mit einer Teig Scheibe bedecken usw.

Mit dem vierten Teig beenden. Nun in der Mitte ein Glas auflegen. Den runden Teig in 4 Teile schneiden. Diese Teile noch einmal in 4 Teile schneiden. So hatte ich insgesamt 16 Streifen .

Nun zwei Streifen gegen einander drehen. Alle streifen so weiter drehen. Dann alle noch einmal drehen. Nun die zwei streifen die gegen gleich laufen zusammen drücken und ein bischen umlegen .

Nun alles Aufgehen lassen für 30 minuten und dann ab in den vor-geheizten Ofen bei 350 Grad für 40 Minuten.
