Back in my blogging heyday, I always tended to start off the year with a savoury recipe because I thought my “audience” (lol) was likely sick of treats and baking. I obviously don’t care about that now, as this is basically my personal online recipe journal, BUT I still laughed to myself as I seem......
December was filled with holiday fun, and then ended with two weeks off to just totally relax and decompress after the craziness. I didn’t cook that much at home, with the exception of all the sides for Christmas, which I always love to document here. More on that below: Other non-foodie things I was obsessed......
This month we had our 3rd Annual Cookie Exchange at work. While I know it’s not a competition, I feel like I always want to make something impressive and (obviously) delicious. I also want my cookie to be something a bit different or original, as there are a ton of chocolate chip cookies and gingerbread......
November is usually a chill month for me before the craziness of the holidays, but there was so much going on this month and lots of good eats! Here’s what was happening: Other non-foodie things I was obsessed with this month: Flashback!...
I’ve been making these Banana Bread Breakfast Cookies for over ten years, and it’s finally time I save them here (so I don’t have to visit the blog they came from, which is problematic to me now). I make these whenever I have freckly bananas on the counter; they’re super quick to mix up, very......

My friend Jess (who’s from London, England) went to BC for the first time this summer and fell in love. It’s so her scene; lots of biking, hiking, and nature plus good food, exploring and shopping. She even went to Nanaimo, BC where she had her first Nanaimo Bar and became obsessed. I immediately knew......
September felt like an extended summer, and I continued to eat lots of tomatoes and peaches instead of squash and apples. Here’s what was going on: Other non-foodie things I was obsessed with this month: Flashback!...
It’s been a while since I’ve been so obsessed with a recipe that I’ve made it multiple times in a month. Enter this Kale & Couscous Salad from Ambitious Kitchen with a zesty (not quite spicy) lemon vinaigrette. I originally wanted to make this because I was curious about the addition of pickled red onions......
