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...
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...
Weekend brunch is so over-rated. The line ups alone are enough to kill me. Seriously, I cannot even bear it. I see it all the time - huge lines outside popular brunch spots, folks just waiting around, probably hangry, to get a table. I've been guilty of the same...
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...

Gywneth Paltrow. Love her or hate her, the World's Most Beautiful Woman knows how to put herself out there. Admittedly, I was a fan of her last cookbook; including this recipe here. The recipes looked interesting and appealing to eat and fairly doable, and for the...
It's officially spring and I'm feeling the urge to lighten up, especially after a weekend of epic Easter eating. It's time to bust out the blender and get my shake on. My go-to version is mixed berry and mango, but just about anything you like would probably work...
I live for my weekends. For me, nothing could be more wonderful than sleeping in, snuggling under my pile of blankets. If I could be a fairy tale character, I would be cross between Sleeping Beauty who slept for 100 years and the Princess and the Pea, where I sleep...
Ever since the new year started, I've sort of been on a lucky cooking streak. New recipe attempts and even old favourites were turning out yummy. However, as of late, I have entered into a bit of a slump. Friday, my sticky rice came out bland, and well, not really...
