Wow, 2015 sure whizzed by. To be honest, I’m not even sure where it went! My posts slowed down a bit due to other commitments, but despite the lull, I managed to crank out some delicious grub. And reviewing the 10 most popular posts of this year, I can’t say I’m surprised by any of…

Things to do in Napa Valley
Back in July, we took a quick weekend getaway to Northern California. We spent some time in San Francisco and then road tripped it up to the beautiful Napa Valley. The cost of a hotel in Napa was far more than what we were interested in paying, so we decided to go the Airbnb route….
Things to do in San Francisco
So, this post is way overdue. Like, WAY overdue. We took a quick weekend trip to San Francisco at the end of July. July, people! Better late than never I suppose. Our flight landed in the evening, so once we settled into our hotel, we made our way over to the Embarcadero. Parking wasn’t nearly…
Cranberry White Chocolate Scones
I’m SO crushin’ on fresh cranberries right now. Oh yes, fresh! Not those shrivelled dried ones you find with the other dried fruit. Now don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with dried cranberries – but fresh is best. They’re crisp, juicy and so much prettier than the dried version. This time of…
Hummus Pizza with Red Pepper and Caramelized Onions
If there’s one snack that is a staple in our house, it would be hummus. We go through loads of the stuff every year. Lately, we’ve been getting more creative with it and experimenting with some fun appetizer and meal ideas. Sure, sometimes we lack gumption and just make pita chips or cut up veggies…
New Orleans: The Sights
Oh, New Orleans, you are a beauty. It would seem this trip was as much about food, as it was about music. New Orleans is the birthplace of Jazz, and we made sure to take in as much of it as we could. We bar hopped down Frenchman Street, which is easy because the hotspots…
BBQ Chicken & Blue Cheese Hand Pies + Burnt Giveaway
There’s no denying that I love cheese. When it comes to cheese, I don’t discriminate. I’m a little bit more picky when it comes to movies, however. If the plot of the movie heavily revolves around food, count me in. So when the fine folks at Castello approached me and offered up the chance to…
New Orleans: The Food
I fell in love with New Orleans the moment I arrived. It’s hard to explain why. The whole city resonated with me, like I was always meant to be there. And also like I was never meant to leave. New Orleans was just a small part of a week long adventure to the South, which started in Atlanta,…
Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon & Dijon
I feel as though a major detox is in order. We just spent the last 10 days on vacation, touring around the South. We spent some time in Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee. My favourite place was New Orleans, where I ate Beignets every day we were there. Looking back on our meals, we…
Flapper Pie
Flapper Pie is no new recipe to the blog. I blogged about it two years ago when I took part in the Canadian Food Experience Project. But it was time for some updating and it definitely needed to be re-photographed. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, followed shortly by Christmas, I figured now was as good…
