I have a major obsession with Pesto. I go through more of the stuff than I’m willing to admit. I love it on pizza, or even on a baguette with some baked brie. I find that it goes well with most everything. I especially love adding pesto to pasta – it’s a quick way to…
Cozumel Food Tour
I’m a travel junkie. I especially love travelling and eating locally. The best food is always local, amiright?! The most memorable food I’ve ever had has always been from hole-in-the-wall, off the beaten path restaurants. Or in the case of Cozumel Mexico, way outside the normal tourist zone, and basically, inside the garage of locals….
Lucky Charms Pudding Shots
So it’s that time of year again when people pretend to be Irish, and drink green beer. Green beer, really? Why do people line up at pubs just to drink the same ‘ole beer but with food dye in it? I’ll never understand the hubbub of green beer, it’s overrated. You know what’s…
Mexican Chocolate Pie
I don’t often blog food holidays, but Pi Day is one of those food days I can really get behind. This years pie is influenced by a recent trip to Central America, where almost everything is spicy. We just got back from one of the best vacations we’ve ever taken. We visited Mexico, Belize and…
Smoked Salmon Rillettes
Growing up, salmon came from a can, and was always mixed with mayo and celery, and slathered on white bread. The salmon sandwich was a regular occurrence and I loved it! Who am I kidding, I still love it. It’s far from classy, but it’s easy and delicious and it’s one of the only ways…
Food From Movies: Sloppy Joes
I’ve been toying with the idea of a blog series called “Food From Movies”, where I create a recipe for a dish that was featured in, or inspired by, a movie I had seen. It only seemed fitting for me to start with Sloppy Joes, because it was the first time I remember being influenced to…
2014 Highlights
Simply put, 2014 was amazing. It was filled with new adventures, lots of travel (I visited both coasts this year), meeting so many amazing people and of course, lots of damn delicious food! My sister and I spent a weekend in February in the mountains and I did some skating on Lake Louise. The boy…

Turducken Festivus
Last weekend, we hosted a Turducken Festivus and invited our nearest and dearest friends. Festivus for us is all about having a celebration with friends and family. If any of you are Seinfeld fans, you’ll know all about it. While there were no Airing of Grievances, Feats of Strength, or an aluminum pole, we had…
Chestnut Praline White Chocolate Brownies + a Chipits Giveaway
Sometimes I feel like white chocolate gets overlooked, don’t you think? This holiday season, white chocolate totally redeems itself in these fudgy Chestnut Praline White Chocolate Brownies. Now that December is in full swing, I’ve found it totally acceptable to buy 5 lbs of butter at one time and just bake all weekend. No one gives me…
