    Cooking Stuff

    Favourite classic recipes for home cooked food made from my (mostly) home grown ingredients.  Easy, approachable meals made to taste exactly how you remember them. But a bit better.

    I like to take the classics and really perfect them so if you're looking for the perfect burger, how to make pizza at home so it tastes like wood oven pizza or how to make an award winning BBQ sauce you're in the right place.

    My name is Karen Bertelsen and I was a television host. In Canada. Which means in terms of notoriety and wealth, I was somewhere on par with the manager of a Sunset Tan in Wisconsin.

    I quit television to start a blog with the goal that I could make my living through blogging and never have to host a television show again. And it’s worked out. I’m making a living blogging. If you’re curious, this is how I do that.

    So I’m doing this in reverse basically. I’m the only blogger who is trying to NOT get a TV show.
