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, […]

It’s a busy time in the household this week. As the weather gets better, we are spending more time in our fledgling garden, learning as we go how things need to be done. It’s quite the trial and error system, but it’s the best way for us to learn. This will be our second garden

It’s coming and I could not be any happier. No, not the baby. That, I can say, is something I am waiting for extremely patiently. Unlike a first pregnancy, where you are in such a rush to get to the baby part (silly first timers), the second time around is a lot more easy going.

It’s a lifelong (okay adulthood anyway) quest that’s taken me to many a restaurant in search of the most delicious of crispy sweet potato fries. Easily achieved, albeit less heart healthy, when dipped in vats of boiling hot vegetable oil. It was with this realization that I let myself become defeated and settled on always

Tacos, tacos tacos, burritos, cilantro, guacamole, salsa, sour cream, tortillas….they all play a huge role in my life. Why? Am I actually part Mexican and have been hiding it from you all this time? Sadly, no. That would give me a great excuse to love this food, though I think if I was culturally attached

Spring has sprung my friends! Today is more of a lesson in the fine art of grilling meat than it is a recipe, so no long lists of ingredients will haunt you this fine afternoon. One of the most popular questions I get asked by friends, family and readers alike is “how do you tell

Here we are in one of my most favourite parts of the year, the beginning of spring. In fact, Autumn and Spring are my favourite seasons. I mean, yes summer is all hot and sunny and has an abundance of fruits and vegetables, but spring is where it all begins and autumn is where we
