This December flew by in a haze of work presentations, holiday parties, volunteering and wrapping gifts. Here’s how 2019 finished up for me: Nicole took me to an event at the Hot Docs Cinema to see one of her culinary obsessions, Alison Roman. I’m not quite sure how I didn’t know about her before this,......
November went by in a blur after getting back from a weekend trip to New York (more on that coming soon) to start it off. Here are a couple special things worth mentioning: Krishna organized a little birthday drinks night for me and Weedy at a couple of new-ish places.  First up was Mascot, which......
This month was a little hectic what with travelling for my birthday, plus prepping for another quick trip right after, so I didn’t get around to too much cooking or baking in the free time that I did have. Here’s a quick recap of a few fun highlights from the month: As I mentioned in......
September is always a slower, more quiet month as everyone gets back into their usual routines. It was also still pretty hot around here, so there was no way I was cracking open a can of pumpkin, and was still eating peaches and tomatoes (see above, plus here and here). I tried a couple of......
I was so happy that this August was filled with delicious baking projects and I blogged about them all! I also went to a few new (to me) places that I loved. Here’s what was happening: My friend Heather is moving to Hamilton, so I spent a bit of time there early in the month......

June started off with my quick trip to LA, and followed up by the pure joy of a Raptors Championship and lots more fun! Here’s what was going on: After walking by it every weekday for the past couple of years, I finally went to the Union Summer Market with my friend Krishna. It’s a......
My life truly revolved around the Raptors playoff schedule this month, more so than any other year because they just MADE IT TO THE NBA FINALS for the first time ever (refer to my Drake on Cake pictured above)!!! Here’s what I ate between games: There was actually one event that was more important than......
It was a fun April over here with lots of cooking and baking at home, plus a life highlight thrown into the mix: THE BAREFOOT CONTESSA came to Toronto!!! I’m going to write a separate post on the event where I try to adequately express all of my emotions about Ina, because I can’t be......
With every week that went by this month, I felt better and I’m now pretty much back to normal, just with far less Doritos in my life. Here’s what I was up to: My new co-worker Georgia turned 30, and I told her she could have any treat she wanted. She asked if I knew......
