Ever since my meal at Chez Omar in Paris I’ve been dreaming about couscous with vegetable stew. So of course I spent a while trying to find something to replicate it.
The closest I came was this recipe over at Smitten Kitchen. Interestingly enough their quest for a couscous recipe was triggered […]
I just got back from a fabulous week in Paris (France). Paris isn’t new to me, I spent almost 6 months studying there while in university about 6 years ago. It was time for another visit. While living there on zero income I didn’t get to take full advantage of all the […]
Yay! I think I’m officially on track with my Barefoot Blogging. Hopefully this means that my hiatus is over.
This week’s pick comes courtesy of Summer of Sexy Apartment. I was a bit hesitant at first when I saw that she chose souffle. I mean who choses souffle?? I was annoyed initially because […]

Every once in a while a love to browse the MOMA Store’s website. They alwsys have brilliantly designed pieces that actually seem functional and worthy of integrating into your day to day life.
I’m in LOVE with this teapot! First of all it’s adorable! Second it is […]
I love me some shrimp and grits. If you type in “grits” into the search field on this plug about 4 different recipes for shrimp and grits. There’s just something about shrimp on top of creamy grits. While I love the recipes that I normally use I’m constantly on the lookout for new recipes […]
Butternut squash soup is quite possibly my favourite type of soup. I love the creaminess (without cream), the sweetness and the fact that it just seems so healthy! Over the years I’ve played with various recipes. Some were all squash, some involved apples or apple juice, some were spiced with ginger etc. I was […]

A few months ago I blogged about the Banana Protector which I bought and totally love. My bananas really do arrive at work unbruised and in perfect condition. Well lo and behold I was on the MOMA site and found the Banana Bunker!
I’ll be the first to admit that I have been slacking on my Barefoot Bloggers duties. This summer wasn’t conducive to cooking and blogging all that much and then I couldn’t muster the energy to participate in September with the double dose of cake recipes. I don’t even really like cake all that […]

Alas, this is my last post from my most recent Chicago visit. I was in Chicago to attend a taping of the “Oprah Winfrey Show” (episode airs on Monday!) with som friends and made sure to eat up a storm! […]
For the past maybe 5 or 6 years I’ve put Julia Child’s on my Christmas wish list. For some reason no one has EVER bought it for me. I was ordering books from Amazon a few weeks ago and decided to finally make my own […]
