I had so much fun this month! I went on a couple of road trip adventures, tried a few new restaurants and had an amazing stay-cation. Here’s the scoop: I met up with the Libra Gang at The Ace so we could celebrate Becca before her wedding. We shared a bunch of dishes, including a......
Spring means renewal and I felt that deep in my core this month. Life is starting to feel rich and fun again, and April was full of family and friends: I was so excited for Easter this month! We still didn’t have our full family around the table, but we’re almost there! My Mom made......
I baked up a storm this month for another charity bake sale, and actually left my home for a quick trip to Ottawa to spend time with my friend Katy and her family. Here’s more on both, plus what I was cooking throughout the month: Bakers Against Racism activated for an emergency bake sale this......
It was another month of hibernation over here, so once again, there’s nothing really noteworthy to record.

What a joy and thrill to be able to celebrate Thanksgiving with a table full of family this year, and even have a few small birthday outings! Here’s what else was going on during my favourite month of the year: I stuck to the classics for Thanksgiving this year, and for the first time, I......
Life continues to slowly inch its way to returning to normal, and I was so happy to have friends over to my place this month! Here’s what was going on: I almost missed PICKLING SZN because of my Wedding Cake Project and Ottawa trip at the beginning of the month, but got organized enough to......
