Nothing like a bowl of hot soup on a cold autumn day. And if you're in Calgary like me, today is the perfect day. I love fall, I truly do - but I do not love this whole super short summer, barely a fall and into the longest winter ever thing that seems to be … Continue reading Corn Chowder with Fennel and Crispy Bacon
Ok friends, I'm finally starting to get my life organized again after my computer fiasco; isn't technology the worst, I mean best, I mean...it really depends on the day. Anyways, I've almost made my peace with the week of my life that got lost trying to fix everything and now that I have access to … Continue reading An afternoon at Thermëa
It's been awhile but I'm back!!! For anyone that's been following along on Instagram you'll know I was having just a few computer issues. But thankfully I have a new computer and I managed to save most of my photos, all the important ones anyways.

It's summertime in the city and that means lazy cooking, because it's too damn hot to have the oven on all the time. So we've been eating a lot of veggie bowls and salads these days. Specifically this one because it is simple, packs a ton of flavour and is also pretty to look at. … Continue reading Watermelon, cucumber & radish tofu bowl with citrusy soy vinaigrette
I love cherries, I mean who doesn't love cherries? And it's cherry season in BC and I couldn't be happier. But I always eat cherries fresh, just the way they are.

My favorite things to top with it in no particular order - tacos (obviously), roasted chicken, grilled flank steak, roasted pork tenderloin, and grilled halibut. A couple of years ago I grew tomatillos. … Continue reading Salsa verde
