Before our household all fell down with THE SICK I discovered a very easy bread recipe over at the Canadian Living website for Irish Soda Bread. The amazing thing about this recipe is (1) it doesn’t require any kneading or rising time (basically the two things that scare people about making bread) and (2) it tastes really really […]

The family favourite banana bread recipe
Posted by: andrea tomkins In: Recipes and Food
I am rather picky about my banana bread. And by picky I mean I KNOW WHAT I WANT. I find it sad that some people have never experienced a proper banana bread, or worse, confuse banana cake with banana bread. KOO KOO CRAZINESS. Bread is bread, and cake is cake and never the twain shall […]
What’s better than a home-made loaf of bread? Here’s a recipe I really like. I’ve made it a few times and it’s always turned out really well. Makes two loaves too, which is perfect.
Check out this pizza dough recipe. It’s really good and I’ve had great success with it. You will too!

The Obligatory Blurb
My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Piper who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. We also have two human offspring: Emma (24) and Sarah (22). During the day I work as a writer at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
