Just want to say how much I love your blog. I never miss a day! My kids are all grown and have kids of their own but I still cook a lot. Hope I’m not too late for Give-Away-Friday,

But of course - they are open to anyone! I have yet to draw a name from Australia or the UK (phew!)

A friend of mine has a very old cookbook as well. It is very cool to look through. They used cookbooks as all purpose house hold help books in years gone by. There were recipes for first aid remedies included and even instructions on how to deliver a baby!

To this day my mother will not eat oatmeal because of all the times she had to eat fried leftovers. She does however love Sunny Boy cereal and still eats a lot of it in the winter.

We were brought up to eat hot porridge every day during the winter so that we always had something in the tummy to keep us warm all morning. My favourites were always oatmeal and cream of wheat. I didn’t like Sunny Boy and I hated cornmeal porridge although my sister always liked it with a swirl of maple syrup. Sometimes as a special treat we would eat hot oatmeal with vanilla ice cream on top getting all melted and creamy, yum. With the cream of wheat we sometimes had strawberry jam swirled in to add some excitement to it.

I look forward to your spots on Tuesday morning, it’s always fun to listen to the interaction between you and Jim and Angela and you always have interesting ideas.

Hi! I am a first time “Leave a Reply”er, and i cannot tell you how thrilled i am to see that the first reply is one about gluten-free! I am celiac too, and so are both my teenagers. We were diagnosed ages ago (me as an infant) but i have yet to find gluten-free equivalencies to “overnight” recipes: cinnamon buns, waffles, and those delicious sounding and convenient St. John’s Jug Muffins.

Any gluten-free baking suggestions you might make would be very appreciated. The children and i are AVID cbc listeners and love your spot on Tuesday mornings. Both my kids aspire to be chefs (daughter a gourmet and son a gluten-free pastry chef). We do ALOT of cooking in our house.

Thanks for your wonderful passion and taste buds!
