I haunt the Superstore. Every day I go and wander the aisles, inspect the produce and sometimes actually talk to someone in the store. One day I bought a house plant at the florist for Earth Day. The lady said to me, “Oh you! You’re always here!” I thought that was funny. When I go […]

Please note: I am NOT saying my readers are food elitists, far from it, just wanted to strike up a dialogue on a topic that means a lot to me and hopefully to you too! One thing I have never understood is people’s desire to judge people according to the foods that they eat. I […]

I ask you, is there anything better than fresh fruit? Oh how I love this aspect of summer, getting to indulge in fruit fresh off the vine. A part of me wants to start baking all sorts of fruity treats but the other part of me just wants to leave the fruit as-is. Perfectly ripe, […]

I talk about it all the time, how do we save money on food? I have turned to books, I talk to people, I read people’s comments…and I am still scratching my head. I got the book Cheap & Easy: A Cookbook for Girls on the Go out of the library and wow, what a disappointment. I […]

Recently I picked up a copy of Food Network Magazine, completely thrilled to hang out a little more with my Food Network pals and get more recipes. They asked their stars to name their top burger spot. That got my head reeling. Where is my top burger spot? Where is your top burger spot? I love […]

Recently Gary, one of the founders of ChefCommons.com, contacted me and asked to interview me for his site. What an honour! I had joined their community a couple of months ago. At first I did not know if I could, I wondered if perhaps you had to be a chef but it turns out, foodies […]

Mom leaves for the airport tomorrow and I am already getting all weepy. I can not tell you how healing it has been for family to come visit and give me happy memories of Nova Scotia. Dad and my brother Jason came last year and brightened my spirits. After the longest and darkest winter of […]
