This May was quite possibly, the most fun month I’ve had since the pre-pandemic days, but because of that there wasn’t too much cooking happening at home! Here’s what was going on: After getting back from NYC, I met up with Weedy, Heini and Krishna at the new Piano Piano location on Colborne Street (which......
Well this is going to be a quick one since the month was bookended by my Pacific Northwest adventure and a weekend in NYC (more coming on that soon!). I didn’t cook or go out too much in between, but here are few noteworthy eats: I went to Chris & Debbie’s for Easter, and Debbie......
Sometimes March can be such a struggle to get through, even with the promise of Spring so close by!

I also went to two restaurants that I’ve been thinking about for YEARS: Lydia and I went to see Mean Girls: The Musical and had dinner at Byblos beforehand. I’ve been once before (for......
I always love October, and this year was no exception! Lots of cooking, another concert and I even left the country! More on that below: My work bestie Jess requested a Drake on Cake for her birthday, so I had so much fun planning it out and bringing it to life for her! She loves......
September always feels like a race to cram in a few more summer things while the weather is still nice, before making a hard pivot to chai lattes and prepping for Thanksgiving. I didn’t cook that much this month, but here’s what I did get up to: I took a little road trip to Waterloo......
