TB’s friend is getting married in two weeks. The boys wanted to plan a weekend in Vegas, but the groom was in a car accident and long flights just weren’t an option. So they did Vegas in ...
The sun was out. The rain held off (finally). I wasn’t in class. And so the garden finally got finished. TB and I have agreed to keep the garden as a shared project between us. Really it means...
It has been 207 days since I last blogged. It’s hard to explain really. I can’t really blame it on the fact that TB and I broke up, or that I didn’t have enough space in the kitc...
A few weeks back I had a friend over for dinner. I always love the smell of freshly baked bread when having company…so homey. I had seen a recipe on The Knead for Bread that I thought was pre...
It’s summer! Finally! We have had a few weeks of sun and some heat. The evenings are fragrant. The air is full of a delicious sweetness. I love taking the dog for a walk on a summer’s ...
I am on vacation. I am on vacation and back downtown looking after the dog while TB is away for work. Because I don’t have my usual well stocked kitchen/pantry at my finger tips, I have been t...
This past weekend I was in the lovely Comox Valley on Vancouver Island. A good friend is back from literally a trip around the world: 14 months in Nepal and then they traveled to Maui, the Philippin...
Friends got married last weekend. They are a fantastic match and I am so happy for them! It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, but it wasn’t so hot that the men sweating in the sun, or...
Ages ago I had seen recipe after recipe in the blogosphere for kale chips. I was a skeptic. I mean, really? You take a delicious and relatively sturdy green and it becomes a tasty, crispy savoury sn...
Months have gone by. To list all that has happened in that time doesn’t make sense here. So instead, we will discuss food. And for me, food is often is associated with memories. Is there any...
I’ve been trying to be better about using my leftovers. I don’t know about you, but I can easily make a meal, have enough leftover for a few meals…but I get bored. I have a hard t...
Wet winter nights in Vancouver call for hearty and delicious dinners. Soups hit the spot for me, more often than not. The flavours simmer, develop and merge. I love that you don’t have to hav...
I’m back! It’s been almost six weeks of no posting. Life has thrown some curve balls at me this past month, but here we emerge, at the end of January, ready to move forward. I’ve ...
A few weeks ago I attended a food photography workshop presented by Jackie Connelly, guest blogger here at Bakergirl Creations. My digital camera is a Canon SD750, a seven megapixel compact model. ...
It’s cookie season. It’s cookie exchange time. I love seeing what everyone makes. I love that there are twelve days of cookies on Foodtv.com. Ironically I don’t even love cookies...
Cookies, cookies, cookies! A few weeks back, I attended a cookie exchange, hosted by non-other than the lovely Ms. Jackie Connelly. A sunny (albeit, blustery) Sunday afternoon, armed with two dozen c...
I had a moment. A moment when I looked at TB and knew exactly what I had to make. The desire, the spark, came out of nowhere. And yet at the same time I knew not only I wanted it, I knew I had to ...
I’m sorry, say again, you can’t eat cheese???!!! Gluten free eating was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to change about my diet (…oh, excuse me, that shouldn’t read past tense; I contin...
I am one of those impatient people who has a hard time waiting for an avocado to reach the perfect ripeness for guacamole. I pick up the avocado from the store, usually knowing that it will need ano...
Prior to your holiday baking & hours spent in the kitchen preparing gorgeous looking and tasty treats and back by popular demand is: Food & Beverage Photography 101: A Workshop for Food Blogg...
I know this is a mass over-generalization, but I think if you have a male in your house, you might have someone who claims the TV for a good part of Sunday to watch upwards of 3-4 football games, and...
I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I spent the first 20 years of my life on Vancouver Island, and also that I’ve never lived outside of British Columbia, but I love our weather (which is o...
I am not a breakfast girl. I know that it is the most important meal of the day, but I really struggle with sacrificing even 15 minutes of my sleep for breakfast. That being said, I do enjoy breakf...
Jackie had written this post a few weeks back. It is my mistake for not posting it before the end of the month so a few of these events have already passed. However I still wanted to post because i...
I am in love. In love, I tell you. This is the easiest soup I may have made in years. And it is all because of the talented (and pretty handsome), Tyler Florence. For the last few weeks the secret...
Work couldn’t be any busier right now. To say that cooking or baking has fallen to the wayside would be a gross understatement. I don’t think I have cooked a propper meal is over a week...

“Raspberry muffins.” That was what was requested for breakfast by my 5 year old nephew a few weekends ago when we looked after him and his 2 year old sister. We didn’t have raspbe...
Summer fruits are in full abundance. The delicious sweet nector of stone fruits: peaches, nectarines, apricots and plums. The simplicity of the fruit calls for a complimentary simple preparation. ...
