I’ve been in full party planning mode lately, with my sister’s wedding coming up and all the festivities leading up to it. Her shower was just past weekend and I had so much fun planning the menu and all the little beautiful details that made the day a huge success. As creative as I like to…

A Pink Garden Party Bridal Shower for Stacey
My baby sister, Stacey is getting married in September! It’s such a fun and exciting time for the whole family and the kick-off to the celebrations started on August 10th when I hosted her shower in my back yard. There was no rain in the forecast. Like…at all. But on Saturday morning it poured rain…
The Canadian Food Experience: A Saskatchewan Food Hero – Orange Boot Bakery
This month for the Canadian Food Project, we are showcasing regional food hero’s, and I immediately thought of Mark and Cindy of Orange Boot Bakery here in Regina for several reasons. First of all, they are a delightful local bakery pumping out gloriously fresh bread daily. And second, they use as many local ingredients as…
Banana Walnut Bread
Somehow it’s August already. Summer has completely passed me by. And apparently blogging has taken a back seat, too. I’ve been spending as much time outside as I possibly can. I’m hosting my sister’s bridal shower in my backyard next weekend, so a lot of my time has been spent trying to jazz up my…
A Regional Canadian Food in Saskatchewan – Flaxseed

One of the grains I use a lot at home to add fiber to my diet is flax. Canada is the world’s largest producer and exporter of flax with Saskatchewan producing…
Cakealyzer – 1 Year Blogiversary

Cause honestly, who doesn’t love sprinkles? Maybe a better question would be…”What exactly is a Cakealyzer?” So first things first: It’s pronounced…
Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing
Sometimes there’s nothing more classic and satisfying than a Caesar Salad with crunchy croutons and Parmesan cheese. It’s my choice of salad whenever I dine out and surprisingly enough, it’s pretty easy to make at home. The most difficult part is the dressing, which can sometimes deter those who want to shy away from using…
Berry Beer and Lime Popsicles
All last summer I was hunting for Popsicle molds. All I wanted to do was make a variety of fun popsicles to eat on those really hot days. Everywhere I looked only had those molds that are plugged into the wall and are rather pricey and more extravagant than what I needed. Finally, in September,…
San Diego 2013 Part 2
Finally, part 2 of my San Diego trip from May. You can find part 1 here. Edith and I rented a car for the last two days of our trip so we could save on cab fare and be a bit more mobile and adventurous. For Edith’s birthday, I took her to San Diego…
