Hello there! I hope you all had a fantastic day. My commute home was a breeze tonight- thank God- there wasn’t a lick of traffic! See there is balance in this great universe afterall. :D Tonight, I decided, would be a baking night. A night to explore a recipe that I had not explored before. […]

Hi there! Today has been a great day. I attribute this to a few things: 1) Not having to chew my Green Monster this morning, 2) A great 4 mile run in between downpours of rain, 3) I finished all my Farmer’s market prep, and 4) I got some very exciting travel news (info to […]

I think I caught the bread making bug. And I like it. For years, I was scared of baking bread. I had a horrifying experience trying to make 100% whole grain spelt bread that came out flat as a pancake. I didn’t think I would ever recover from that and I assumed that I just […]

  Hello again! ;) We are experiencing the most gorgeous weather in Southern Ontario right now. Crystal clear blue skies and daily highs of about 10 Celsius. This is very welcomed after a couple months of rain, gloom, and doom! I find that I am looking forward to my outdoor runs so much lately! Despite […]

I must say, things are looking up. Sometimes, all a girl needs is some freshly baked whole wheat bread slathered in Earth Balance. Besides releasing endorphins via carbohydrates, I also spent the entire weekend getting my life in order! Santa approved. I cleaned. I organized. I did Holiday prep. I bubble bathed. I cleaned off […]

Despite what you may think, living with a food blogger is not always peachy! Aside from the new dishes, plentiful leftovers, and a freezer packed with goodies, there are dishes, messes, computer troubles, steep grocery bills, minor breakdowns, and taste-testings gone wrong. Despite all of this, Eric’s biggest complaint is that I rarely make the […]

Growing up, I was always taking pictures. Of everything. My love affair started with a classic pink Polaroid camera and I would save up my allowance to buy new film. Once I got my first point and shoot digital camera, I rarely left home without it. My family would always teasingly call me, ‘the little […]

Man, I’m feeling bummed right now. I would guess that my mom is too based on her tears when I dropped her off at the airport this morning. She starts to cry, then I start to cry…it ain’t pretty! I think I even saw a nearby taxi driver shed a tear. We always have such […]

I’m baaaaaaack and I missed you! I’m currently suffering from Empty Nest Syndrome since my family left yesterday. Luckily, the Bachelorette and some leftover wine consoled me last night. Saturday night, I threw a ‘Build your own pizza party’ with my family. Initially, I was worried that the pizza wouldn’t turn out and everyone would […]

Don’t we all want a fancy smancy meal that doesn’t require hours in the kitchen? I know I do. Meet Phyllo dough. It’s here to bring back the fancy in your life! Cuz we need it. And I don’t mean Circa 1982 pink carpet fancy either… Any takers? lol. Phyllo (also spelled fillo or filo) […]
