Taste Canada
Just in time for Canada day, I had no problem thinking of something for the Sugar High Friday hosted by the Domestic Goddess. What does Canada taste like to me? Butter tarts! It’s sweet and just like Canada, is diverse. A butter tart can contain nuts, raisins, currants, or none at all. For me, I like pecans and absolutely no raisins. For this recipe, I chose to use walnuts instead as a cheaper alternative.
And since we’re talking about Canadian foods, I’ve got a craving for a Caesar, ketchup chips, and poutine (not all at once).
Recipe for butter tarts here (note: I omitted the caramel called for in that recipe but added a caramel drizzle from some leftover caramel I had made earlier).
Sorry for the lack of posts. These past few weeks have been busy and I am happy to announce that Movie Man finally popped the question!
P.S. Please excuse the lack of photos on the previous entries. It seems when I upgraded my Flickr plugin for wordpress it stopped formatting all the photos properly!
