Isn’t life amazing? And busy? And amazingly busy? Yeah, I’ve noticed. The fact that I wasn’t posting for a while does not mean I stopped cooking (well maybe for a bit there) or eating (I wish). I WAS keeping it on the low side though, which means I preferred to snack on things than to […]
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 […]

(Since really, there is no other option). So […]

I think that people think that if you love cooking and baking you must love most foods. Well, I’m not sure about the others but I don’t. For example, I will never be able to clean up a fish and then cut and cook it, same goes for chicken. I also don’t like quinoa, brown […]
