Bombay Sapphire Event Review
“Gin-cident”: a negative experience with gin; usually as a result of inferior juniper berries used in the production of gin. Or by being a stupid teenager. I’ve had one, and I’ll bet you’ve had one too. I’ll admit it; a few weeks ago, I did not have a very good opinion of gin. I thought…

Mango Coconut Rice Pudding
I must give credit where credit is due: Closet Cooking is a fantastic blog. Kevin creates some incredible and totally accessible dishes in a tiny Toronto apartment, and he came up with this wonder not too long ago. He is also a much more talented food stylist and photographer than I am! Anyway, I am…

Mmmmm Chocolate Review & Give-Away!
I think it’s clear to everyone by now that I love trying new things, and doing product reviews, too. As a consumer I think it’s very important to research things before you buy, and to see what other people are saying about it. Word of mouth is an invaluable way for me to get information,…

The Road to Hell
…Is paved with good intentions! I intended to write a ton of posts this weekend and totally shirked my duties. I really had planned to sit down and do them this afternoon… but then life got in the way. This afternoon I tried out a crockpot lasagna recipe from A Year of Crockpotting, hoping to…

Quiche Recipe
So I mentioned how I was planning to make a quiche on Monday… well, I did it! And can you believe it, it actually turned out really, really good? And it was relatively easy. That was a plus. Below is a recipe I found online for “Easy Broccoli Quiche”. Since I only had mixed veggies,…

Mmm mmm Good!
I did a bit of a grocery shop this weekend and am set to do some cooking this week! As part of my goals I laid out for myself this year, cooking at home falls under managing my finances better and living healthier. I will hopefully save some money this way and also regulate what…

Pizzalicious
Have I ever fully expressed my love for Domino’s Pizza? Probably not. But I love the stuff, even when it doesn’t love me. I’m feeling lazy and somewhat ill, so I ordered in tonight. I probably shouldn’t have done this because of the expense, and also because of my stomach. I was complaining a couple…

Baby Pies!
I made baby pies! Sooo cute! They’re actually tart shells that I filled with the pumpkin mix… pumpkin pie, portion controlled! I’m so proud of my baby pies. Maybe one day they will grow up to be big and strong like the mommy pies I baked on Monday. One can only hope 🙂 Happy Turkey…
