As part of FBC’s 5th anniversary we’re sharing a special 24-day Holiday Countdown from December 1st to the 24th. We’re going back in time to reconnect with some very special FBC Members. These Canadian food bloggers were among the very first FBCers to be showcased in our Friday Featured Blogger series that still runs today (we’ve featured almost 250 bloggers in five years!).
Where are they now? And how do they celebrate the holidays? Today we visit with Suzie Ridler of Suzie the Foodie (you can read our original feature with Suzie here from November 18, 2011).
Name: Suzie Ridler
Blog Name: Suzie the Foodie
How has your blog evolved over the past five years?
It started as food therapy but ended up being the highlight of my life. I started off homesick for BC while living out on the east coast and now I am living an exciting foodie life back in Vancouver.
What’s your favourite holiday tradition?
Making Latvian bacon buns that my mom and grandma used to make. A sweet coffee wash is the secret to the best bacon buns ever.
Share a favourite holiday recipe with our readers
My breadmaker version of my Mom's pīrāgi (Latvian bacon buns).
What are the must-have staples in your holiday pantry?
All kinds of chocolate so you can make truffles, cookies, muffins, fudge, brownies …
