It’s over. The holiday season is gone. The decorations are put away, the bags of ripped paper are in the recycling, the stuffed bellies are recovering and the year has started anew. It’s time to make resolutions, amends, promises…blah, blah, blah…. I don’t usually fall into the camp of resolution makers. I try to fix […]

Let’s talk chili. I know what you’re thinking. “It’s still summer!” “I’m too hot to eat chili!” blah blah blah… I don’t feel sorry for you, because you probably live in some subtropical climate that’s alive with sweltering heat all summer long. The weather ’round here, on the other hand, consists of about three weeks
Cheat days. These words have haunted me for far too long. About eleven years now, if you’re counting. I used to think that every day had to be a regimented, strict eating day and then only on the chosen day (or days in my case), could I indulge my true cravings. I would wait diligently

It’s that time of year that I like to be outside, my toes dug deep into warm soil as a dig weeds out of every nook and cranny in my garden. I’m a bit anal about keeping those free riders out of my expensive organic fertilizer and compost. If you don’t give me something in return, then

Pssst….. Guess what today is? 27 years ago today, my poor mother laboured for many hours in a hospital bed. Then I came into the world, all 5 lbs. 10oz of me. My older sister’s dreams of being an only child were shattered in those moments and life has never been the same. That’s right,
