Let it be known that it’s November 27th and I’m still wearing sandals when I go outside. Yes, I get weird looks. No, I do not care. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – flip flops ’till it snows. Quite frankly, I could easily go without the white stuff. This girl does…

Lentil & Turkey Meatloaf
Growing up, Dad used to make a killer meatloaf. I found his recipe, if you can call it that, several years ago. The paper it’s noted on has yellowed over time, and there are a few mustard and ketchup smatterings here and there. The text is Dad’s own script – chunky printing in all caps – which…
Oahu Hawaii: The Sights
I feel as though I failed myself in the lack of photos I took in Hawaii. Honestly though, pictures don’t do enough justice. You have to see it for yourself. Utterly breathtaking. The first three nights were spent at the Holiday Inn Waikiki Beachcomber, where we were upgraded to a 14th floor ocean view room – we may…
Oahu Hawaii: The Food
This trip happened quite spontaneously. While looking for flight deals to Texas, I happened upon a seat sale to Hawaii. So I texted my friend, Thao, and thankfully she was on board immediately. It’s always fun going on adventures with friends, but what I appreciate most about travelling with Thao, is her love for food. She’s the only…
Thai Coconut Curry Meatballs
Saying good-bye to summer is hard. I’m in serious denial that it’s September and the unofficial end of summer, aka Labour Day weekend, is behind us. Super bummed about it, actually. This girl is not a fan of the cold. So what did I do? I booked a last minute vacation to Hawaii with my…
Create Your Taste McDonalds Canada
Watch out folks, McDonald’s is stepping up their game in a big way. I was recently invited to come in and try out their new burger experience and was completely blown away by how great it was. They’ve recently launched a new, personalized burger experience called Create Your Taste. Participating locations are now sporting new touch-screen kiosks…
FoodSaver Vacuum Sealing System Review
I have a love/hate relationship with freezing food. I almost completely avoid freezing anything because I rarely get around to eating it before it gets dehydrated and oxidizes – aka freezer burnt. I’ve pulled a few things out of my freezer recently that were almost unrecognizable and it pains me to have to throw food…
No Churn Brie Ice Cream with Roasted Strawberries
I recall a time in my early 20’s when I was making countless solo road trips back to Winnipeg in my two-door, white Acura Integra. Looking back, it feels like I was sleeping in my Aunty Wendy’s spare room more than in my own bed. When it came time to head home, she always made…
Confetti Cream Puffs
As of June 22nd, I’ve been blogging for 4 years! It all started with a horrendous photo of Broccoli Salad, and I kept it a secret for quite some time. Since then, it has morphed into SO much more than I could have imagined. Food conferences, brand partnerships, freelance writing gigs, and befriending the most delightful fellow bloggers –…
Sheet Pan Nachos
I’m sure you can agree that, at the end of the day, you don’t always feel like cooking a big meal – especially during the week. I hear ya, we’re in the same boat. On the flip side, I most definitely do not want take-out. I just want something simple, but wholesome. I’ll even settle…
