Ya know what says summer just as much as a margarita + makes the perfect margarita companion?! Peach Salsa does. On a recent trip to the farmer’s market I got a little over-excited in the peach department. After purchasing a boat load of peaches I sampled some mango salsa and instantly wanted to buy a … [Read more…]
“Who doesn’t love tacos? Seriously, if you answered “me,” I’m sorry but we can’t be friends. And when I say tacos, I mean all varieties of Mexican delights. Taco tacos, fajitas, enchiladas, tostadas… and even taco salads. Yep, I’m counting them. Ya know what I hate though, those giant fried tortilla bowls full of iceberg … [Read more…]
Warning, this is not the salad to eat: On a first date Before a long car ride with another person Before an interview Before going to a bar where loud music forces close-talking Are we clear? Any other time though, this is amazing. Happily married for 2 years? Chomp away my friends, because what’s theirs … [Read more…]
Um…this stuff is amazing. Crispy, soft, sweet, caramely, peanut buttery…. why don’t I make french toast more? Oh, because it’s sorta boring when there’s just toast and syrup. Right… I used to be a total sweet breakfast girl. Loved pancakes and waffles, and anything I could drizzle syrup on. But having since lost a lot … [Read more…]

This is what I make when I want take-out but know that it’s better, cheaper, and more delicious homemade. It’s sweet, sticky, and so flavourful. Sometimes, you just need a bowl of sticky sweet noodles. Am I right? Of course I am, otherwise, Asian take out just wouldn’t be a big deal. But it’s delicious, so it … [Read more…]
This super seedy granola is nut free, so it’s perfect for sharing with anyone who may have allergies. Plus, it’s damn good for you! Let me be frank, I am a nut lover. However, I was recently on a flight where we were told not to eat anything with peanuts in it, and it got … [Read more…]
If you haven’t guessed, I’m a huge sweet and spicy fan. It’s definitely my fav flava combo. So, naturally, with my trying to eat a lot of Vitamin A for my eye health (which I think is improving!) and therefore eating lots of sweet potatoes, things are getting a little sweet potato crazy. Which I’m still not … [Read more…]

Every summer I vow to go on more picnics, spend more time lounging in parks, soaking up the Calgary Rivers, but then somehow it’s fall and we may have done one picnic, possibly two?
