I love spuds in all their forms. We use to eat them all the time when I lived at home because they are so inexpensive, and versatile. There are so many different ways to prepare them, you could probably eat a different variation every night for years. Despite all the options out there, I much…

Roasted Chickpeas
Chickpeas are friggin’ awesome, don’t you think? I’ve got a decent stash of both dried and canned organic chickpeas in my pantry at all times. Hummus is always a good standby snack, but sometimes I get bored of it. Sometimes, I just want a crunchy snack I can eat with my hands. That’s where this…
Tomato Goat Cheese Tart
This tart has been eaten on the regular in our house ever since the tomatoes started turning red. I’ve legit bought 6 packages of puff pastry solely for the purpose of making this tart. A girls gotta have a package or two on standby just in case, right? The reason we’ve eaten it so often…
The Backyard
If you’re looking for a uniquely Saskatchewan dining experience, then you need to make your way out to The Backyard. The Backyard is a farm-to-table restaurant hosted by Over the Hill Orchards, just a few minutes north of Regina, and they serve only Saskatchewan grown goods. Chef Mariana Brito, the mastermind of this project, really champions the farm-to-table concept….
Peanut Butter Protein Balls
Bonjourno, long time, no see. Life has been a touch busy for me lately; plenty of yard work and teaching. Ive decidedly been laying low. We took a quick getaway to San Francisco and Napa Valley at the end of July and, no word of a lie, we ate pastries, every. single. day. How could…
Canada Day
The day before Canada Day, we took a quick road-trip up to Saskatoon to catch a concert during Saskatchewan Jazz Fest. We love Michael Franti, and were super happy to see that he was playing the TD MainStage in Bessborough Gardens. We both had to work that day, and it took us an hour to…
No-Bake Funfetti Cheesecake
Woah! It might be cliche to say, but time sure flies when you’re having fun. 3 years ago I started this little ‘ole blog, and here we are today, eating No-Bake Funfetti Cheesecake to celebrate. Looking back at the last two blogiversary posts, it seems that I have unintentionally started a theme of using sprinkles…
Lemon Mascarpone Tart
Help, Ive fallen and can’t get up. Not literally (although sometimes it does happens), but figuratively. I’ve fallen hard…..for this lemon tart. To be fair, it’s not just any ordinary lemon tart. It’s made with homemade lemon curd, and a healthy dose of creamy mascarpone cheese. I’ve said recently that I’m crushing hard on…
Lemon Curd
I can remember the very first time I ever tried lemon curd. To be more accurate, it was called lemon spread and it was made by Smuckers. I was visiting a friend one day, and her sister was making toast. Instead of using jam or peanut butter, she was lathering her toast with lemon…
Margarita Jello Shots
I’m sure you’ve already heard that Cinco de Mayo isn’t a big holiday in Mexico. It’s morphed into another drinking holiday in America, which is totally fine by me. Time to bust out the tequila and lime and have a mid-week party. And what would a Mexican party be without margaritas? I’ve had quite a variety of…
