I try never to post anything on here that isn’t made from scratch. To me cooking from scratch is the only type of cooking. Anything else is just a cheap imitation. However in saying that I do recognize that prepackaged sauces are life savers and they can be absolutely delicious too. What I’ve recently figured [...]

Another thing I love about living in a house is all the natural light shining through the numerous windows throughout the house. Moreover this means much better pictures and I don’t have to fiddle around with artificial lights or use my cumbersome light box. Can you tell the difference? I think it’s pretty significant and [...]
We finally got our new stove hooked up and I now have an oven! I can’t express how relieved I feel. I’ve been so utterly deprived, especially with all these amazing looking summer desserts that everyone has been making! But I do have to say that with the hot weather I probably would not be [...]

I love peanut noodles and I love curry sauce but never thought about putting the two together. I knew right away when I saw this recipe that I had to try it. And of course it was definitely a winner. Deliciously creamy, smooth, spicy, with umami flavours from the lime juice and brown sugar. If [...]

The house is insane right now with all of our moving boxes. Things are so messy and 3/4 of our contents are packed while the rest are still waiting. I hate inertia. I hate that period in between being able to pack everything and having to leave some things. I am definitely not looking forward [...]
This weekend has been absolutely insane. My coworker commissioned me to make some desserts for her niece’s bridal shower today so I was up all night and early this morning making 60 cupcakes, 60 chocolate mousses, a 3 layer red velvet cake and a shrimp pasta dish. I learned a lot doing it since I [...]

I remember seeing this on a blog somewhere and thinking it sounded really delicious. Of course I forgot to copy down the recipe but I figured I could probably figure out what ingredients to use to make it good. I did really like these patties because the flavour of the turkey stood out and it [...]
On the theme of those quick and easy dinners, here comes another one that takes about 15 minutes from start to end, prep included. Of course given that I’ve been making really easy and quick dinners that means we should be taking advantage of the extra time to start packing. You heard me. Start packing, [...]
