Here’s the second treat I made for the Friendsgiving Feast, because you know I can’t just stop at one. Of course, we were all full by the time we got through our pie, so I ended up wrapping these up for everyone to take home....
It has traditionally been a source of irritation to me that once our Canadian Thanksgiving is finished in October, all the American blogs start talking about their Thanksgiving plans, which makes me very jealous. Since I have a dining room table now, I decided to have an American Thanksgiving Potluck a.k.a. Friendsgiving Feast! (Yes, a......
Erin and I went to the Gourmet Food & Wine Expo a few weeks ago, mostly to see Chuck (we’re on a first name basis, he follows me on Twitter). The Expo itself was something I had a feeling I would either absolutely love or truly hate; do you want to guess which one?...
Are you sick of hearing about my Florida Target adventures? I promise this is the last post, because I just need to show you what I hauled back up here. Then it’s time to get serious about holiday baking, my friends! Tomorrow is December 1st! Danielle and I have a conference call booked next week......
Here’s the rest of the things that caught my eye as I was wandering around Target a few weeks ago. In the alternate reality where we don’t have to worry about cholesterol and whether or not our work pants fit, I would have bought ALL this junk and ate it over a 3 day period.......
Sometimes I wonder if Americans realize how lucky they are to be able to go to Target anytime they want. I feel the same way about Trader Joe’s, though I have never been there.

There are a few topics to address in this post, so let’s just start with the elephant in the room. I’m white. I’m female. I grew up (and live) in the suburbs. And yes, I love hip-hop. To most people in my world, this is no big deal. However, some people I’ve come across in my life have been......
Does anyone else have a problem with procrastination? This is a major theme in my life, but I’ve really been putting a focus on it the last six months or so. I tend to avoid annoying tasks (i.e. calling Rogers AGAIN about my bill, organizing the storage in my bathroom) until they are completely driving me......
Updated with a new picture December 4, 2018 I’m new to the chili game – this is not something my family ate growing up. My Mom hates beans, and as my Dad likes to say: “If Mom hates it, we don’t eat it”. Because of this, I was never a bean eater either, and never had experienced......
    Halloween usually finds me channelling my inner kindergarten teacher, making cutesy treats and lots of black and orangethings to eat.  I made a few treats this year, and Kristine and Erin came over to hang and snack, and then I brought in the many leftovers to my co-workers (they love me)....
