Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake with Chocolate Ganache Glaze! I am always shocked when I bake and it comes out well! This Bundt pan is absolutely one my favourite things to use and I LOVE the mini one as well!

Very weird to be considered a "First Time Conference Attendee" for this year's Pampered Chef National Conference! Grateful to be here this weekend and epically grateful to be on this culinary journey! #pc #pamperedchef #pcnc21 #howipamperedchef #thrive #thrive21

Happy #nationalmacandcheeseday! I love Macaroni & Cheese so much that this year for my birthday, I invited everyone to join in a Virtual Mac Cheese making experience - and years ago I even won a Canadian Dairy Contest with my Muenster Mac & Cheese! Making the perfect dish involves four main components: 1. The Pasta 2. The Cheese 3. The Add-Ins 4. The Toppings What's your favourite combo? Want my recipe? Shoot me a comment or message and I can send you the link!

Thinking back to being in the full swing of things last week for the beautiful wedding of @samanthamemme and Jamie! It was my pleasure to not only cater the event, but also bring this stunning cake to celebrate the day @spindletreemanor

Happy #winewednesday🍷 What kind of wine would you prefer next to this gorgeous grazing table? We made this table last weekend to celebrate @samanthamemme and her new hubby Jamie's nuptials and it was a hit for sure! Who else loves a solid cheese, meat and bread table as much as we do?? 🙋🙋🙋 #wine #grazingtable #weddingideas #wedding #congratulations #foodie #foodporn #cheese #curedmeat #fruit #bread

This time last year I'd just finished my first Virtual Cooking Workshop, where I made, you guessed it ... Chili-Lime Tacos! Little did I know how much that one little menu & workshop would impact my future as an entrepreneur and small business owner. I realized almost instantly that in a year of global uncertainty, personal distance and stay-at-home orders, this virtual connection could bring people together in a way that many so desperately needed and everyone enjoyed. Cooking became a conversation instead of an unapproachable or mundane chore. My menus became the theme of a 'great night in'. These virtual workshops became a way to safely socialize and have people and teams 'fill-their-cup' with laughter and learning new skills. 2020 and now into 2021 was not an easy year - but looking back now, all I think about is how amazing of an opportunity it was to be able to bring people together over these meaningful mealtime memories. Thank you to ALL of you for your support over this past year (and beyond). I appreciate you and I sincerely do look forward to the opportunity to cook with you and your family, friends or colleagues in the very near future! Cheers, Chef Gillian aka. One Blonde Chef

Happy #winewednesday!! I'm still thinking about this 'Wonders of Wine' menu from last Friday! We made: 🥂White Wine Garlic & Herb Mussels 🍷Red Wine Drunken Pasta with Parm and Fresh Basil ❄️Ice Wine Chocolate Truffles The whole menu came together in around 90-minutes and that was complete with a wine pairing at the end! Such a fun night to enjoy one of my favourite ingredients - wine! . . . . . . . . . . #winewednesday🍷 #drunkenpasta #mussels #whitewine #redwine #cookingclasses #virtualcookingworkshop #foodporn #vinotinto #vinoblanco #foodie #wino

Another #taconight with @cheftorial ... but this time the client sent me this sweet Sombrero! So incredibly grateful to be on this journey personalizing these unique virtual experiences for each and every group!

Mmmm I love a good Sunday Ceasar made with Worcestershire Sauce, @terrysuniquehotsauce Hot Sauce and Pickle Juice! Do you enjoy Ceasar and if so, what are some of your favourite Ceasar mix ins?

Have you ever made your own Hollandaise Sauce? This butter-based sauce made classically can be quite technical, daunting and takes quite a bit of elbow grease. But, I've got a secret work-around that I cannot wait to share our workshop guests on Sunday at 11 am ET! Click the link in bio to register today for our #bougiebrunch on Sunday! We'll celebrate #nationalmimosaday with some tips on how to set up the best mimosa bar, and then make the perfect Eggs bene complete with perfect poached eggs, roasted peameal and of course, homemade Hollandaise!

A big thank you to everyone who joined us for Moroccan Night! Such a fabulous turn out with so many friendly faces. These weekly workshops bring so much joy, conversation and quite honestly give many of us a delicious way to travel - internationally - from the safety and comfort of our own kitchen! Next up is 'Bougie Brunch' on Sunday May 16 at 11 am! Click on 'Join a Virtual Workshop' via the link in bio to get your ticket today!!

An afternoon of @duttypaul live from #jamaica calls for a Jerk Pork and Ackee & Salt Fish dinner. What international cuisine do you love to make at home?

Spice up your routine with a mocktail! First you start with a base of 3 strawberries, 3 basil leaves, 3/4 ounce simple syrup, 3/4 ounce lime juice and a couple of cracks of black pepper! Muddle that together in the bottom of your cocktail shaker, add 1 cup of ice cubes and shake! Strain out liquid and fill up your glass with chilled sparking water (or Prosecco) for a truly delicious spring or summer sipper! Check my IGTV for a quick how-to video and head to my blog for complete recipe!
