There is definitely something to be said for convenience. Everyone’s bought a roll of Pillsbury cookie dough at some point in time. But it’s not healthy…and it’s not homemade.

I had a fun and food-filled weekend in Montreal. We went there for a wedding, and also enjoyed an awesome Easter at my Aunt’s place. The wedding involved an all you can eat brazillian grill= LOTS OF MEAT. I think I got my iron quota for the year. Easter also involved a lot of variety: [...]Continue reading →
First and foremost, I have to thank Nora for nominating me for the versatile blogger award! This made my day! I’ve got a recipe planning, and a final this week, so doing my own ‘versatile blogger’ post is going to have a wait a little while, but I am super excited about it. This was [...]
