Can you feel the excitement? It’s almost the New Year!! Despite the complete lack of snow here in the Toronto area this year, I’m more energized and primed for the new year than I have been in years (okay, maybe it has a little something to do with my loathing of snow. Yay for partly-green Decembers!). […]

Coconut Crusted Tofu Appetizer Bites with Creamy Green Curry Dipping Sauce
Summer really is the perfect time to throw a party, isn’t it? The weather welcomes outdoor events, quick preparation, colorful foods to adorn backyard tabletops, and people are just generally. . . . happier (okay, so I’m talking about me. In summer, I am generally happier).

It’s holiday season–and what works better at the holidays than a holiday PARTY?

Everyone Deserves Cookies for the Holidays!
Do you remember what it felt like when you were young, when it seemed everyone else had something you didn’t (but you wished you did)? As a gradeschooler, I watched from the sidelines as my friends zoomed around the neighborhood on their new banana-seat bicycles (my parents told me they couldn’t afford one). Then at age 14, I […]
Great Eats on the Road: It’s a Wonderful Town!
[“Hey, Mum, this is a really Big Apple!”] How did the HH and I end up in New York last weekend? Well, it all started last December, after the HH had a car accident. Thankfully, no one was hurt in the fender-bender, but that left my honey without a car. And since I’d been planning […]
Strawberries and Cream Layer Cake, ACD-Friendly and Allergen-Free

Somewhere in […]

This Bark is Worth its Bite
Okay, I have a feeling I know what you’re about to say. But just in case, let me clarify. I have heard all of these before: “You just need to get some specially designed clothing.” “You should take up some outdoor sports, like skating or snowshoeing.” “But you get to wear all those plush, stylish sweaters!” “It makes you […]
