While I love Chicago (to a degree) and have committed to working here for the next few years, there are some things that really irk me about the place. For example, the lack of diversity in the food scene. Sure Chicago is known as a restaurant town but I challenge you to find […]
You all know that I love me some preserving. Let me turn some fruits into jam or pickle some vegetables and I’m a happy camper. I’m particularly happy when I get to crack open a jar of preserved peaches in February.
A few (ok, many) months ago the folks at Thomas Allen […]
I couldn’t help it… another Ottolenghi recipe. And another vegetarian recipe! Maybe I’m losing my meaty edge?
The other day I was having two of my best girls over for a little dinner, a lot of wine (4 bottles, 3 girls) and all manner of storytelling before a night out on the town […]
Those who know me know that despite my appearance I don’t put a huge emphasis on eating healthy. I mean I eat healthy in the sense that I prepare most of my own foods and don’t eat a ton of junk food. BUT I also don’t think too hard about things. My favourite […]

So, I don’t mean to over-hype the information that follows in this post but this is probably the best thing I’ve learned in the past year. And that’s saying a lot because I’ve legit been school for a large part of the past year.

So this poor little blog has been a bit abandoned as of late. Why? Because B-School is crazy. And by crazy I mean super busy, super fun and A LOT of work. I’ve learned so much over the past three months both in the class room and outside of the classroom. I came […]
So the other day I was featured on View the Vibe as their Friday Foodie (even though they spelled my name wrong). Between this and interviews I realized that I’ve had this blog for 5 years! Let’s file that under “ish that is cray”. Five years ago I had recently moved back to […]
Every once in a while I get the urge to do a cleanse. The first time I did a cleanse I went for the gold and did the Master Cleanse. You’ve heard of it. It’s the one where you drink nothing but water mixed with lemon juice, cayenne pepper and maple syrup for […]
This summer the herbs in my balcony garden thrived. Perhaps the most bountiful herb was oregano. Problem is that I RARELY use fresh oregano. Trust me when I say I tried integrating it into a bunch of recipes but I couldn’t keep up with how fast that stuff grew.
Now that […]
When I moved back to Toronto 4 (eek!) years ago I decided to try canning. I liked the idea of controlling the amount of sugar in my jam as well as being able to use the freshest local produce and trying unique flavour combinations. Canning can be a lot of work […]
