It is usually only at the airport I get to pick up a decaf double double at Tim Horton’s but Starbucks has invaded even the airport! Ack… $15 for a mocha and sandwich. That’s crazy. So hear I am waiting for my flight, bored out of my mind. My fibro has made reading almost impossible […]
I know that summer is officially over but for me, salads are an all-year foodie treat. I do not think there is a salad I enjoy more than a good Greek salad. I take the basic ingredients and make many versions over and over but the one thing that brings everything together is the dressing. I […]
Gramma Bee’s Honey is natural, raw, pure, unfiltered honey and is produced in Alberta.

Fall is officially here and so is pumpkin spice season! I had to celebrate when I saw my first pumpkin spice scone at Starbucks. It was still hot then so I got an iced latte which really did not work with the scone. Definitely have it with a hot beverage of some kind if you […]

I was inspired by The Cactus Club Cafe’s Chef Rob Feenie’s recipe for Butternut Squash Ravioli with Prawns. Above is their English Bay location, right on the beach. The Dough You will need 2 […]
Reg and I have spent the last week celebrating our anniversary but the big day was Friday. We had many adventures! I woke up to discover Reg had bought me my favourite champagne roses. Aren’t they gorgeous! Then we were off to get our haircut at B-Bombshell Salon, “Where geek is chic!”. B-Bombshell Salon Normally when I […]
I have to admit, Ocean Spray’s PACt Cranberry Extract Water intrigued me! I totally fell for their Facebook ad: A woman doing downward dog outside with her dog and her cranberry extract water. Yup, I loved it and you can even see me comment “Adorable!” on their page. The Product I found it at my Superstore for […]
I have been buying these lovely bags of small potatoes from Kin Farm’s Market. They are the perfect size to cook up and use later for various delicious potato dishes. To keep life as simple as possible, I decided to try cooking them in my pressure cooker The Instant Pot for fast and easy results. […]
