smoked salmon – Audrey's 74 A blog by Giulia Doyle Tue, 31 Jan 2017 21:28:05 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.1.16 A Summer Fête – Special Edition /2014/06/18/a-summer-fete-special-edition/ Wed, 18 Jun 2014 13:25:04 +0000 http://www.audrey74.com/?p=2999 Audrey's Summer fêteHere in Canada we have long, cold and dreary winters. I’m not a winter person, so summer can’t come fast enough. Once the temperature heats up a bit I love to invite people over for outdoor BBQ’s, dinner on the lawn or just a casual picnic. The season is so short, I think we need to take advantage of it as much as we can – despite fighting bugs and at times humid temperatures.

The other week we hosted a backyard birthday party and I decided to fancy it up a little with some matching rental chairs and a white table cloth. Little touches had a big impact and all of us had a great time. Instead of creating a picture heavy post, I decided to gather our summer fête in a book, including the 10 recipes we made, some outdoor party tips, planning tools and DIY ideas. I also asked a couple of my blogging friends to contribute some outdoor party wisdom. This serves as a great memory for me, but I hope it serves you as a little guide – some inspiration to host your own party. Have a look and let me know how you enjoy your summer parties!

]]> Eggs and Smoked Salmon Toasts /2013/03/18/eggs-and-smoked-salmon-toasts/ Mon, 18 Mar 2013 09:43:41 +0000 http://www.audrey74.com/?p=475 Audrey's Egg and Smoked SalmonWe seem to only eat eggs on the weekend. Sometimes I wonder why I don’t make eggs more often during the week. They are fast and keep you going. But weekday mornings are just crazy – between the kids not wanting to eat breakfast or get dressed, lunches and book bags to pack – I’m lucky if we get out the door on time with something in our bellies. The eggs would just be ignored and that would be sad. So I save them for the weekend, when we’re not in a hurry and can enjoy a breakfast when our bellies are ready for it. Most weekends that would be an hour later than during the week.

This time we added some smoked salmon. It gives the meal a beautiful colour and satisfying salty flavour – adding my usual cream cheese to the bread makes these eggs perfect for breakfast, brunch or a light lunch.Audrey's Egg and Smoked SalmonAudrey's Eggs and Smoked Salmon
