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......
I usually spend February in hibernation mode baking Valentine’s treats, but things didn’t go according to plan this year. Your girl had her gallbladder removed unexpectedly at the beginning of the month!  I wasn’t eating much while I recovered, and was sticking to a pretty bland diet of high fibre/low fat foods, but as I......
This January was pretty low-key, as evidenced by the only foodie-related picture I could find on my phone this month (Bulk Barn is now selling Sweetapolita sprinkles in bulk!).  As a result, I will mostly be filing a report of recipes I cooked at home this month that I really liked: I’ve made this Broccoli......
This month was jammed packed with lots of different holiday activities at work, plus the usual Champagne & Cookies prep! Here’s what was going on: Our foundation-wide holiday party this year was at Assembly Chef’s Hall which was such a great venue for a Christmas party! This place is like a very fancy, hip food court, with a......

This month was a whirlwind of saying goodbye to one of my best friends, enjoying funemployment and starting a brand new job. Here’s what was happening on the foodie front: My friend Jen moved to Switzerland! I’m so excited and happy for her, but I was very sad to say goodbye. For her epic farewell......
As I alluded to in an earlier post, this was the craziest month I’ve had in a long time on a personal level. I quit my job at the company I’ve worked at for the past 15 years! I still can’t even believe I did it! In September I’ll be starting my new job at......
This month was relatively quiet leading up to a quick road trip to Cleveland at the end of the month to see Jay-Z & Beyonce’s On The Run II Tour! I have a few recommendations should you ever find yourself there: First up: Mabel’s BBQ. I heard about this on the House of Carbs podcast,......
Summer arrived in full effect this month, and I really tried to make the most of it! Here’s what I was up to on the foodie front: My friend Nicole and I met up for lunch at Mary Be Kitchen. This is a super cute, healthy, fast casual style restaurant opened up by my old......
