I haven’t been keeping up on my cooking these days. Well, let’s not say that. I have been cooking every night, as usual, but these days, I am sticking to old standbys and cheaper meals. It could be the weather outside has me spending more time in the garden, or on the deck with the […]

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,

When I started this blog, is was merely to be a way for me to motivate myself to get out of a food rut I’d been wallowing in for a year. The moment our son was born, my appreciation and knowledge of fine cuisine, went out the window alongside my pert, youthful breasts and late

Because I live in a temperate area of the globe, much of the “height” of summer produce doesn’t arrive here until quite late in the season. Last week at the farmer’s market, we scored some super fresh ears of corn. We’re talking mere hours after they’d been picked. I didn’t have them on my shopping

I’m baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! That’s right folks, it only took 5 days to get a new one, but I am now the proud owner of a second Nikon D60. DOn’t get your panties in a bunch though, the insurance agency is coming today to pick up the disheveled corpse that is my old camera to harvest it

If ever there was something I am known for amongst my friends and family, it is “The Big Salad”. We’re talkin’ huge here, people. Why? I like salad. I like the crispy lettuce and the freshness of the ingredients, the colours like a Mexican Carnival, the surprise of every bite being different. I just really

Now we all know that things don’t always go 100% as planned. To me this is what experimenting in the kitchen is all about. When you are passionate about food, you take risks with it. You do daring things in the kitchen, you risk ingredient’s lives for recipes you’ve never even seen before, you make
