"A Taste Of Heart & Home"
This Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffeecake has become a tradition in my family and has been enjoyed every Christmas morning for nearly 40 years. Frankly, it is popular all year long and any excuse to make this family favourite is appreciated. The cake is a balance between a cheesecake and a coffeecake and is a welcome addition to any celebration.

Redpath Sugar has helped Canadian bakers for over 160 years. I am pleased to have the opportunity to review the new Redpath Canadian Bake Book. The book is a collection of favourite classic recipes originally brought to Canada from all corners of the world. The cookbook has tested and perfected recipes. This book has already become a favourite in my kitchen. The Redpath Canadian Bake Book has over 200 recipes that include cakes, breads, desserts, special occasion recipes, many baking tips and secrets, and even a section on confection, which makes this pastry chef very happy. One recipe in particular, Salted Vanilla Caramels, caught my eye. These delicious and very addictive caramels can be made easily and quickly in only 6 minutes in your microwave oven.
For those who know me well, two things are quite clear. One, I love cookbooks and have an extensive collection. They are like treasured friends. Two, making soup is something that I love to do – several times a week.

I am pleased to share with you today one of their featured recipes called, “Tomato-Potato Soup with Roasted Garlic” which is an uncomplicated, fast and flavourful soup to make.
The recipes are categorized in the most interesting way:

Prelude: I am a proud Canadian. When the Culinary Historians of Canada (CHC) invited food bloggers to participate in the “CHC Canada 150 Food Blog Challenge”, I knew that I wanted in! What a great way to celebrate and honour Canada’s 150th birthday by featuring a different Canadian dish or discussing a topic which reflects on what it means to be Canadian. For December, the Culinary Historians are challenging bloggers to bring their best holiday game, with the most festive and delightful food tales about winter holidays past. I have a story about the origination of our family tradition, called Un-Christmas Day. As well, I will describe why the tradition was created and the special activity that always took place at the end of the day. Of course, food was involved, which is why I will be sharing a menu featuring a recipe for Dry Roasted Crispy Chicken Wings with Honey Garlic Dip. If you choose to embrace this holiday season finale, I think both you and your family will create some great memories.
I need to explain why “Un-Christmas Day” became a tradition. When my daughters were small, my husband and I wanted to make the Holiday Season as exciting and meaningful as possible, since you are only a kid once!
