We were hosting for Passover this year. I love hosting, but you know what I love more? The feeling after everyone’s gone and enjoyed their time around the table. Ever since we moved to Canada, we’ve been having our Passover Seder meals with friends. We used to have them with family and then it’s bigger […]
It’s starting to look really nice out here. Of course, we still get the occasional rain and wind but it’s mostly above zero temperature and the feeling that winter is (finally!) over. And when the weather is nice, all I want to do is grill my food. I just love the BBQ and the fact […]

It’s Friday, I’m making dinner, I’m done cooking and now moving on to the salad, I open the fridge and find out that all I have is tomatoes…great! Now what? I improvise.
