So it's been a while since I posted a recipe and it's basically because I started a newish gig that involves some travel and lots of catered lunches. All I can say is that I'm loving the job and maybe a little too much as some of my pants have gotten a wee bit snug...
I have a new addition to my home - something I've wanted and dreamed about for a long time. Yup, I got a VitaMix. It is AWESOME and I LOVE it. Like LOVE LOVE it. I was gifted this amazing piece of equipment by my generous parents for Christmas (thanks mom and...
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a lovely and restful holiday season and most of all, a healthy one. I had a nice stay-cation full of food, chocolate, and other goodies and spent lots of quality time with my family. It was all fun and wonderful until my sister...
How often do you try something new? Like new new? We all get stuck in our day to day routines and dare I say, ruts. I'm guilty of just grabbing the same-ish groceries week after week and making my same go-to meals or going out to dinner at my usual spots and ordering...
The past month has literally blown by in a sea of BBQs, pool parties, get-togethers, road trips, etc. And all this socializing has left me a little behind on recipe testing/actual cooking - I've been surviving mostly on leftover BBQ, thrown together salads, and a few...

Let's talk about soup baby, let's talk about you and me. Let's talk about all the good things and the bad things that may be (insert these 90s dance moves from Salt'n Peppa). Okay, you probably know by now that I love soup but not all soups are good for you. Many of...
I like happy things. This salad is a happy salad - it's colourful, full of unexpected flavour, nutritious, and fast. What's not to love? It's bright and cheerful, just like my pal Jerrica who introduced me to this salad (and yes she is named after this gal). Beets are...
I wish I could say I was a more disciplined party-goer. You know, the ones who say 'No thanks, I've had my quota of two fried thingies already. I'll just drink water and eat carrot sticks now.' Instead, I'm the one who's helping to refill the chip bowl I just...
I remember my initial reaction when I was first found out that I had to eliminate gluten from my diet. Naturally, I was devastated. No more pizza? Croissants? NO BREAD?!? NOOOOOOOOOO. "Kill me now/What the hell am I going to eat?/I hate my life" were some of my...
