Two friends sharing food and their lives
So for a birthday treat we met a few friends at this amazing restaurant called Ten Foot Henry in Calgary and had this unbelievable starter with warm whipped Feta on grilled sourdough with roast tomatoes and dill! It was soooooo amazing and a must try […]
This makes a great base for a simple starter that can be paired with different toppings to provide some variety. It looks and sounds so much more difficult than it is! 1 small package goat cheese 1/4 cup whipping cream With your electric mixer, whip […]
So a few months ago I made an amazing soy and citrus glazed salmon. My dad even said that it was the best salmon he has ever had, so it got some pretty high praise. Now for me, it is not exactly a weeknight meal, […]
I’m not sure you will have caught on yet, but we are obsessed with oatmeal in this house. We eat it almost every morning, and rarely even have breakfast cereal in our home. But I might love baking with oatmeal even more! The texture it […]
Spring and Summer make me start wanting to eat salads. Surprising, I know, but something about the warm weather makes me actually desire something raw and fresh! One of my favourite salads is spinach and strawberry. Now I accidentally overbought sunflower seeds and I was […]
So I love Guacamole! So much! I used to think it was complicated to make, but about ten years ago I started making it regularly. This is recipe I landed on. It’s simple and fresh and zesty. It’s a good base recipe that you can modify […]

So our obsession with Pimm’s cups all started while on vacation last summer. We were visiting my Aunt Nora, who is a fantastic host, made us these Pimm’s Cups. Needless to say it was a huge hit and made us travel to several liquor stores […]
We all have those days where things are not going our way. Today was that day for me. I had three shops to stop at today, and I had to leave 2/3 buying nothing because my kids were acting up. Seriously!! Because it took longer than I […]
I love Charcuterie. It’s probably my favourite food. But I’ve also had too many crappy-cheese-only ones to count. What really makes Charcuterie for me is all the extras that add a new dimension to amazing cheeses- oh and wine! Lots of wine! Here are some tips […]
I felt like all the “good moms” growing up made banana bread, my mom included. It’s something that is pretty much universally loved and brings up memories of childhood. There is just something so comforting and loving about it. My kids are also fickle in […]
If there is one recipe that my friends and family request that I make, it is my Ginger Cookies. I know it’s that good, and I am pretty proud of it. I was having an impossible time finding a perfect ginger cookie recipe, I tried about […]
