Happy Valentine’s Day Lovers! Head on over to Allison Suter Photography and check out a super sweet couple’s shoot to warm your hearts this Valentine’s Day!
This week’s “best of the interwebs” post features some awesome blogs and a bonus category, “inspire”! I kind of like it… that one might stick around. I (and thousands of others) love Angela’s blog, “Oh She Glows”. It documents her transformation to a healthy lifestyle. Last year when I was training for my first half
It was about 2 hours before I planned to go to bed and I had a craving for freshly baked warm peanut butter cookies. Big time. It was a cold and dark night and we’d had a dinner that I had found less than satisfactory (more on that later). I had a case of the
I get very very annoyed spending $1.99 a week on a bunch of cilantro, $1.99 a week on a bunch of italian parsley, and $2.99 a week on a teensy tiny little bag of chives. That’s about $7 a week that is mostly going to end up in a mushy mess in the garbage. So,
As you may know, when I’m not blogging, photographing or cooking, I’m lawyering — actually, given the time commitments involved, it is probably more appropriate to say when I’m not lawyering, I’m blogging, photographing or cooking. I graduated from the UBC Faculty of Law in 2008 amongst 200 bright-eyed and bushy-tailed ready-to-take-over-the-world-almost-lawyers. While my peers
If you’ve checked out the “about me” page on the blog, you know that I am an aspiring photographer. In the last 14 months I feel like I’ve really started to come into my own as a portrait photographer; as soon as I have a subject in front of my camera, I relax and I
In the spirit of blogging about stuff that I love, every week I am going to post a round up of some of the best bits of the internet I came across this week. I’m not going to limit myself by strict rules, but generally I’ll post my favourite post in each of “eat”, “decorate”,
While making my weekly shopping, I noticed I had half of a large butternut squash left over from last week’s Penne with Squash and Black Beans. Not wanting it to go to waste, and not feeling like any of my go-to butternut squash recipes led over to Epicurious. A search for “butternut squash” as the
I have a new love in my life. It’s called pinterest. If you don’t have a pinterest account, I suggest you go get on the waiting list…right now (then come back!) send me an email and let me know, I can send you an invite! I first heard about pinterest about two weeks ago. I
I have a confession to make. I’ve never cooked dried beans before. Cans are just so easy. And generic brand black beans only set me back something like $1.09 a can. Sure that is way more than their dried friends, but protein for two for $1.09… I’m not complaining. Almost. Every time I use a
I arrived home and it was staring at me. A single, solitary bottle of wine given to me as a holiday gift from my assistant. It has been sitting, alone, in my wine rack for a month, almost begging for me to crack it and savour its deliciousness. However, I have abstained, because this year,
This summer the hubs and I are going to spend a week at the Chateau Ventenac with a group of 8 friends from law school. Needless to say, I’m pretty excited! (Yes, the whole thing!!!) Just last night I booked our tickets using aeroplan points. Yay! [Begin rant] Aeroplan seemed like a great deal… until
Last week a little blip popped up on my facebook: Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese….. YUM wrote my cousin Angie. And in an instant, I knew I had to have it. My cousin Angie is pregnant, and she served this dish for two pregnant friends. They loved it. I’m not pregnant (and neither is the
It’s a testament to my attitude these days, when one of the very first posts on my new blog lists some recent sweet Etsy finds. I love Etsy. I spend much to much time “rummaging” around trying to find the gems that speak to me. Several weeks ago, I came across this print by January
I’m fairly well traveled, in fact I’ve been to 52 countries in my 28 years on earth. However, it wasn’t until I few weeks ago I had the joy of going to San Francisco. I’ll admit, despite my obvious excitement, I was actually a little bit worried about going. I’ve been dreaming of San Francisco
