    Our Favourite Christmas Recipes: Part Two

    December 22, 2016 /

    Part two of our holiday baking series will be sure to get your creative juices flowing. “White Cherry Chip Cookies” I love this recipe because my family loves eating them. I adapted it from another recipe one year around Christmas when I had finally finished writing exams. That the cookies came out in Christmas colours was a happy coincidence.  -Vicky 2 cups of all-purpose flour 2 tsps of baking powder ½ tsp of salt ½ cup of shortening ¼ cup of milk 1 egg 1 cup of white sugar 2-3 tbsp of vanilla extract A handful of maraschino cherries, cut into quarters In large bowl, cream shortening, sugar, egg, milk,…

    December 22, 2016 /

    Christmas is a time of creating fond memories, celebrating family traditions, and giving to others. In our homes, baking is an integral part of the Christmas celebration.

    Get Back Into Biking

    March 23, 2016 /

    Although winter this year has been mild enough to keep even the less than avid cyclist on the road for the majority of the season, most of us are eagerly awaiting those longer, warmer days of spring. Torontonians, on the whole, have embraced this efficient, clean, and fun way to get around; but while choosing the bike as a primary mode of transportation can be difficult for many, there is something to be said about its use recreationally. Opt for Trails and Pathways While the city debates over how to expand its on-street bike network, and those brave enough deal with the often stressful, although rewarding commute through these traffic-laden…

    Saying Goodbye to a Pet

    January 15, 2016 /

    How do you know when it’s time to say goodbye to a pet? How do you know if your family pet is ready to die? Can you ever really know? And, most importantly, how do you bring yourself to make the decision that the time has come to let them go? This last question, more than any other, will cause any owner to hold back from putting their pet down. When our pet is suffering from an illness, our first impulse is to do whatever we can to help. Thankfully, advances in modern medicine mean that there are many treatments available that can assist or completely rid pets of their…

    January 31, 2013 /

    Get your spoons ready for the Leslieville Farmer’s Market Annual Winter Fundraiser! By Stephanie Chow Last year, over 700 pounds of onions were sliced and diced to make 2000 litres of soup for the annual Souper-Bowl Winter Fundraiser, sponsored by the Leslieville Farmer’s Market.

Bring your appetites this Super Bowl Sunday because Le Papillon on the Park’s Chef Lukas and his team are planning to concoct over one tonne of their delicious french onion soup! If soup’s…
