Aloha! I’ve recently returned home from a 2 week stay in Maui with my husband and could not wait to share my experience on this beautiful island. What did I love about it? Everything! The tranquility of the ocean, the melody of the waves that I fell asleep to every night, the west Maui…

I’m soaking up the last days of summer at home before I leave for my vacation in a few days to Maui. I’m very fortunate to be visiting what everyone has been describing to me as “paradise.” But with recent news of a devastating earthquake in central Italy, I keep thinking back to our vacation…
Yes, it is summer and we all scream for ice cream. Typically I cook based on what ingredients I have in the fridge or pantry. This time I decided to try a recipe because I had the equipment to do it. I am the recent owner of a Kitchen Aid ice cream maker so of…
It’s been a number of months since my last post. Almost 8 months to be more precise. Why haven’t I written? Well, I could say it’s been life getting busy…work, family, friends, I got married! (it’s true…on July 9th). But really it’s been me not having the courage to keep on writing and sharing my…
Christmas dinner hasn`t happened yet, but the gluttony of Holiday eating has definitely started for me. The past few weeks I`ve indulged in Christmas baked goods, daily chocolate from the advent calendar, cheese and charcuterie boards from pre-holiday get-togethers and more than my fair share of red wine. To top it all off, I haven`t…
It’s that time of year where baking takes on a whole new kind of excitement. The house is decorated, the Christmas tree is lit and the television is always set to the Yuletide Fireplace channel, blaring Holiday music. I’m always inspired to bake for friends and family during Christmas. This year however I was challenged…
Spotty, over-ripe bananas. I have a love hate relationship with them. I love them because I can throw them into my morning fruit smoothie and I have a killer banana bread recipe that I can make with them. But I also hate them because of the fact that I can only make banana bread with…
One pot meals are the answer to everything. Here’s why? – They bring together the flavours of many ingredients, cooking together in one easy to clean pot or dish. – They are cover tonight’s dinner and a few days of leftovers. – They are freezable. – They take the stress out of making a side dish. – They…
This one’s an oldie, but a goodie. I have been making this recipe for over 10 years as my go-to weeknight meal. This recipe requires no pre-washing, no chopping, no pealing or pre-making. Just boil water, cook the pasta and mix a few staple ingredients with tomato sauce (homemade or store bought) to kick up…
The weekend is when my weekday routine is pleasantly turned upside down. I don’t have to wake up when my alarm goes off, I can just keep hitting snooze. I don’t have to rush out of the house to beat morning traffic so I can get to work on time. And, I don’t have to…
I have an abundance of swiss chard still shooting up from the garden. I thought summer was over?!? Now, I’m not complaining about what to do with all this fresh, organic produce but I am trying to be creative on how to use it all. I visited Calabria two years ago, a region in southern…
Otherwise known in my house as pasta alla carbonara. Not fancy, simple (only requires 3 main ingredients) and will deliver a devine plate of pasta that will make you feel like Chef Mario Batalli himself. Pasta alla carbonara is my go-to recipe when I suddenly have an impromptu dinner guest at my door and I…
It feels like forever since I’ve written a blog post…actually, it’s been 6 months (same thing.) I would attribute my absence to everyday life pleasantly getting in the way…dusting off my bike from the basement and joining a cycling club, breaking away from the office while it’s still light out to enjoy the longer summer…
I love to cook. There is nothing more that relaxes me and lets the creativity flow from my scattered mind through to my fingertips and out onto the plate. But, after a 10hr workday at the office, the last thing I want to do is “start dinner.” During these weeknights when I come home from…
