A few days ago, I posted a detailed lesson on how to make frozen niblets out of fresh delicious corn on the cob. It got me thinking of all the yummy ways that a cook can use fresh or frozen corn niblets, and so I’ve decided to post my recipe for Fresh Corn Salad. This salad

How to Freeze Corn on the Cob (off the cob)
Yesterday, I took a small time out of mothering and schoolwork to judge a pie contest. Yeah, it was tough. The pie contest was sponsored by Get Fresh and held at Sea Cider’s beautiful location in honour of their Apple Day festival. It was fun, it was fruity, and it was a much needed break for me. On

Feast of Fields Panic
Twice this week, my Facebook status update has been “AAAAAAAAAAAACK!”. No joke. One of my friends helpfully mentioned that I should really have put an ‘F’ in front of that, and she’s right.

Dinner Blues and some tasty Crispy Broiled Chicken
Tonight is a good example of how things don’t always go smoothly in Chef Heidi’s kitchen. It was a case of the age-old question: ”What’s should I make for dinner?”. Or, in my case, “WTF?! Again?! Ug, do I have to do this every night? And with what, exactly?” Yes, even us fabulous chefs run

The Last of the Blueberries
This is the time of summer when I spend a lot of time wondering (worrying, even) if every handful of fresh blueberries I eat will be my last for the year. Right now, at a time when both back-to-school and cooking-class-season are looming, “the end of the fresh blueberries” is seriously one of the main things on
