Crock Pot Beef Stew Recipe
The worst of winter may be behind us (fingers crossed) but it’s not time to put away the parkas and scarves just yet. Although I’m not a huge fan of the cold, I do love me some warm and cozy comfort food and if it practically cooks itself then even better. AND if it’s full of…

Red Wine Chocolate Cake Stop Motion Video
The great (?) thing about working for yourself is that you wear many hats and are constantly learning – some things you welcome with open arms and some with a little more kicking and screaming (taxes, I’m looking at you).

Blogger Babes in Jamaica Part 2
So here’s the really juicy details about my Jamaican trip – the food! I confess that I’m a bit of a jerk chicken junkie.

Almond Snowball Cookies Recipe
Don’t let their simplicity fool you. These little snowball cookies are jam packed with nutty almond flavour. Like throwing a snowball, you can’t stop at one. It’s impossible, I’ve conducted an extensive study. My Italian family makes very similar cookies, in fact you may see/hear them referred to as Italian cookies or Russian tea cakes. Those people don’t…

GOOD EATS: Honey Glazed Apricot Plum Galette
I love to bake and cook all year round but there’s something about the fall weather change that really brings it out in me. Plums are one of those fruit that I admittedly don’t love eating on their own but they are so perfect for baking. I think it’s the balance of their tartiness with…

GOOD EATS: Convection Oven Granola Recipe
Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day, hands down. Sometimes I even have it for dinner. Sometimes I like to go all out with pancakes or bacon & eggs and sometimes I just crave something healthy like yogurt, fruit & granola. The thing is, you may already realize this, is that most store bought…
