I thought I would share the drink of choice at my last girls night- white wine Sangria!! Also introduce my new feature: Tipsy Tuesdays- which should be self explanatory! This was super tasty and perfect for sipping away while snuggling on the couch, chatting, watching...
Happy Sunday everyone- this Sunday I have something very delicious! Beef Stroganoff, I know that there are lots of different ways to make this- but this is how I make it! Beef Stroganoff 2 lbs beef- sliced thinly into strips (best to use a leaner cut of beef)...
ROOM DECOR! So I have been waking up in the morning to this: And I love it, it makes me smile- as it was on my list of 33 things that make me happy!. This was really simple- just a little time consuming but I absolutely love the effect 🙂 To make these stars- I bought...
I was thinking about what I should do for this Wellness Wednesday, and it occurred to me- the most simple and the most important part of Wellness- Happiness. So I set out to make a list of 25 30 33 things that make me happy, big or small. As you can...
I have never dyed my hair before, no highlights, no crazy colours, no regular colours- I have always been fairly content with my hair colour, which I would describe as a darkish brown. It's somewhat strange that I've never thought of dyeing my hair, since I do my fair...
I don't know about you all, but I am pretty much over this whole 'winter' business. I mean snow can be pretty and whatever, but I have found that the weather in Southern Ontario so far has left much to be desired. I mean an ice storm over Christmas? really? Anyways,...
I am sure that everyone remembers potter puppet pals, even if the reference is getting a little old... like 2007 old... this is making me feel old.. ANYWAYS... TA-DA!! If you know Harry Potter but don't know about potter puppet pals then here is a link to the...
I'm going to start this post off with a disclaimer that I am not a professional, I am not a dietician, or nutritionist, nor a doctor of any sort. But I did minor in health in university, and I have a pretty big interest and general wealth of knowledge that I have...
I have been beading obsessed over the holidays- partly since it is one of the only crafty things that I specifically brought home with me, but also because the holidays always seem to draw me toward sparkly and pretty things- let's be honest that is all year round. So...
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...
