We haven’t even arrived in Argentina yet (we are in Uruguay until this evening) and already I’m writing about the asado (Argentine barbeque). Like in Canada and the U.S., where barbeque means both the grill itself and the act of having a barbeque, so in Argentina can asado mean both as well. We experienced our

When I arrived in Edmonton I was super keen. I had been scrambling to pack up in Toronto, so I hadn’t had much time to craft or to bake. I already told you about my fun Christmas gift wrap, and all the other crazy things we got up to over the holidays, but I only
Last week the hubs got home earlier than I did from work and since he is a super star, he decided to cook dinner before I got home! Cue the collective “awwwww”. It was such a good treat for me, and since I wasn’t home for most of it, it was much more pleasant for
It’s cold outside. When it is cold outside I like soup. I also love barley. A lot. I have the better part of a two pound bag of barley that I’m trying to use up before the big move sitting in my pantry. I’ve got a handful of barley soups in my repertoire, a barley
Several years ago I was searching for a dessert that combined the flavours of pomegranate and dark chocolate. Little did I know at the time, the most perfect recipe required only those two ingredients. I can’t remember where I found the recipe, and it is so simple that it now lives in my brain. So,
Earlier this week I had a serious craving for spaghetti squash. Why? I don’t really know. But all day long I knew that I was eating spaghetti squash for dinner. It was a pretty long day at the office (most of this week has been long days in advance our our imminent departure), so on
I interrupt my regular scheduled blogging to share today’s SWEET daily deal from Whole Foods. Today Living Social has a deal for $10 for $20 of food from Whole Foods, and it is good for ANY whole foods in Canada! They’ve got stores in the GTA and the GVA and this is a totally awesome
My in-laws gave me an awesome present for my 29th birthday: Le Creuset Mini Cocottes. If you know me well, you’ll know that I’m much (much) to cheap to ever buy anything that nice for myself, so it was an extra sweet birthday gift! They are beautiful pieces of art, in my favourite bright and
Today, I’m going to tell you about one of my favourite places in Toronto. The St. Lawrence Market. I love it. It feels like a little taste of not North America right smack in the middle of North America. When I ultimately leave Toronto, the St. Lawrence Market will be a thing that I miss.
It started getting colder a few weeks ago. Turning into fall. The season where I start looking to hearty or creamy delicious soups to warm me up from the inside out. This Creamy Roasted Tomato, Garlic, Onion and Coconut Soup from Oh She Glows did not disappoint. This soup is delicious. It’s creamy (without using
On Sunday afternoon, I noticed that three bananas were getting a touch overripe on my counter. Usually I deal with overripe bananas by peeling them and tossing a ziplock in the freezer for future smoothies. However, over the period of the juice obsession (more on that fizzled obsession to come) my freezer got inundated with
We spent Canadian thanksgiving in Fredericton with my in-laws (the hubs’ mom & dad, his two sisters, and our nieces and nephew). (Actually, the previous weekend we spent in New York with some of the same people, however, my images from that weekend were all b&w film and I haven’t got them developed yet!). We
I’ve been busy traveling every weekend (since September 10) so I’ve had lots of trouble cooking new recipes to post on the blog (for my 30-before-30 list). I realized today that I’m already one weekly meal behind (eek!) so I decided to pull a good, old, un-posted one up from my drafts folder! Hasselback Potatoes.
I have been on an Oh She Glows recipe pulling spree for the last several days. Of course, I’m pinning all of them. In the last couple of weeks, every time Anglea has tweeted a recipe, it’s pretty much been exactly what I have been craving. For instance, I’ve been on a bit of a
So. I’m into juicing now. Well ok, yesterday I bought a juicer and I’m on my second juice. So, I’m totally into juicing. For reals yo. It’s been one day and I scoff at junk food. I can feel the power and energy of sweet vegetables coursing through my veins… It may be psychological at
