This Soup Sunday is CHILI!! I love chili- and this is a super spicy chili. Nice for those -23 C days, when you need both a steaming & spicy bowl of delicious dinner! Not to mention a super quick and low mess recipe. This recipe is all made in one soup pot, so...
What is not to love about New Years Eve? This picture was from last New Year's, which I was fortunate enough to spend in Barcelona, Spain- fancy-shmancy I know! Look at me just dripping in festivness!! This year was more typical: Spent with a couple of close...
You are all about to learn what I do with all of my Christmas leftovers. Turkey Stew. A rich and delicious stew so full of flavour and full of all my leftovers from the big dinner! This is- like all of my other recipes- very flexible, and I generally just use...
I feel like there are so many little Christmas things that I didn't get to share on this blog, partly because it is such a busy time of year, but also because they all seemed a little small and insignificant for posting. So before it is altogether TOO late- I am going...
This recipe has been requested by some of my friends (Claire- this is for you!), generally after I've had them over for dinner & dessert with pastry involved, whether it be a chicken pot pie, tourtière, or one of my famous fruit pies. (exemplified here in a...
Yes, it is the second installment of a failed Soup Sunday- I was thinking that at some point in the new year this feature might become Supper Sunday instead- because I will eventually run out of soups... but I suppose I can keep it, in this cheating way for a while....
When my mom asked me if I would like to help her make a purple Barbie outfit for a friend's daughter, I jumped at the chance. I was OBSESSED with Barbie as a child- she was my ultimate- I had the Barbie house, the Barbie car, and a huge wardrobe of all Barbie's...
In the cold harsh Canadian winter- there is nothing better than a cozy beanie to keep your head warm- and as an avid crocheter, I find many crochet hats very inadequate. They can be lovely and pretty with lacy stitches- but often, when it comes down to wearing them...
Mmmmm, I have to say that of all the soups, this one is my favourite. It is so tasty, warming, and filling- and full of one of my favourite and least glamorous foods- beans. I just love beans, the taste and the texture, and they are the main ingredient in this...
Hi All, this Soup Sunday I have a bit of a different soup, something that I had never made before but I really enjoyed!- Wonton Soup Now I would say that this soup is more of an appetizer soup, as there aren't very many veggies involved, and fairly small servings of...
This weekend I got into the Christmas spirit!- and I started off with some felt ornaments- aren't homemade decorations just the best! I love making these, sitting watching a favourite movie and doing all the little stitches- placing the beads and laying it all...
Only my third Sunday into Soup Sunday and I have already failed. No soup and dunkable companion this week, this week is Lasagna Monday (notice my post title rhymes- I'm just that cool). But really- what's a girl to do when she is craving some cheezy delicious...
I must apologize, I have been very late with this post, and I finished this project a little while ago. In fact you have already seen two sneak peaks of this project in my past posts! (from my sewing room tour) (from my Boretski Gallery post) So I am finally...
This Soup Sunday is a classic soup, one of the heartiest, tastiest and warming soups of all- Vegetable Beef-, with one of the tastiest dunkable companions- the cheddar biscuit. This soup should almost be named the 'anything and everything' soup because you can put...
Around this time every year, if I am attentive enough, I will remember to start the best 30 day process -the process of friendship cake. Friendship cake is one of my grandma's recipes. It takes 30 days to make, and it is usually started in late November so that it can...
Finally a fashion sewing post!- and I think this is definitely one of the more interesting and cool things I've made. I was looking through all my patterns, trying to decide what I should make, and I came across one of my older Burda World of Fashion magazines (one of...
This past weekend, hanging at home with mom, we decided to do a little shopping at my favourite place, Boretski Gallery. It is a little shop in downtown Belleville, close to my hometown, that deals in everything vintage and fabulous. I don't know if I have yet shared...
I was at home this weekend, enjoying the wonderful chill of fall, and one thing that made my weekend just that much better was a lovely bowl of homemade soup. There really is nothing better than homemade soup, especially when it is fall, when your mom made it, and...

Hello- So I know I promised a fashion sewing post... and I do have 3 of them planned out, it has just been really dark and dreary lately and not so good for taking pictures of the things I have made. So instead, I will fill this gap with the CUTEST craft project...
A couple of weekends ago, my sister and I went to the Creativ Festival in Toronto- a convention of sorts for all things creative including: sewing, quilting, beading, knitting/crochet.. etc. As much as I do love all things sewing, I was completely side-tracked by all...
