It’s hot outside. Some days have even hit 104F (I know I’m Canadian, but Fahrenheit is more dramatic in the summer). When it’s hot I lose all interest in things like hot stoves, kitchens and well really.. I don’t feel like eating. I exist on smoothies and salad. There are really only so … Continue reading
I’ve been told I’m intimidating. Like the food I love I tend to flavor my words, my actions and my beliefs with a little extra cayenne. There is no such thing as going half-way with my food journey or anything. Ever. This means I can be terrible at saying no. When … Continue reading
Do you ever have those moments where you decide you’re going to make chickpea fries because you made them a week ago and they were the most delicious thing you’d ever eaten in your entire life and instead you accidentally make a deep-fried doughnut that makes you so happy inside you didn’t know … Continue reading
So I bought a julienne peeler. I bet you can’t tell. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, I pity you. Really, I do. Ever since I acquired this piece of culinary equipment magic I’ve become obsessed. Are you really too lazy to open a new browser window and google “julienne … Continue reading

I am listening to Mozart’s Piano Concerto 21. What that has to do with the obviously fantastic recipe I am sharing today I am not quite sure. I felt like sharing, so I shared. I feel more enriched, don’t you? There are a lot of spices in my spice cupboard (that I have no … Continue reading
I just ate a muffin. It was fantastic. Now see, I could just let you sit there in your muffin-less misery and laugh maniacally. However as I have stated before I am not a psychopath. I am however obsessed with spices. There has always been something mysterious and transcendent to me about spice cupboards. … Continue reading
It has been five years since I cut all wheat and cereals from my diet. In the beginning I went a little gluten free crazy – if it said “gluten free” I ate it. Nothing ever really measured up, but I had just learned that I couldn’t have something. I always want what I can’t … Continue reading
I love wearing the colour yellow. The bad part about wearing yellow is that it isn’t slimming, which is why I like wearing black, but not together because the last thing I need is some joke about being the “Queen Bee.” (You don’t think that would happen? You haven’t met my family.) However, even more … Continue reading
