Alright everyone… grab a napkin because this one is very…very…very drool-worthy, and I can almost guarantee, a little drooling will ensue. Got the napkin? K, let’s continue. So – every now and then, I wake up in an extra good mood (probably because our new kitten, Pip, has decided for once to NOT walk all

Maple Walnut Bark
I’m keeping this post short and sweet (no pun intended!) today, after all it’s Friday so I’ll hold in my inner Chatty Kathy and let the picture’s do most of the talking… I’m not sure what it is about the Fall season, but it makes me think of Maple Syrup. Maybe it’s the leaves changing

Brazil Nut, Orange & Chocolate Fudge Cups
I developed a love for Brazil Nuts this summer. I already loved nuts of all kinds – almonds, hazelnuts, cashews… love them, but Brazil Nuts, I’ve just never had a lot of in the past. Every now and then I’d get a few in a trail mix, but they always seemed to skimp on them!

sweet chilli garlic shrimp & quinoa grill packets (great for camping!)
I just had the best 4 days in a row off work! It was wonderful – I went with my hubby to his 10 year high-school reunion (we are gettin’ old!!), visited with the in-laws, golfed, baked in the sun at a local pool, and watched the fireworks for Canada Day! 4 day weekends are

Simple Chocolate Dairy-Free Ice Cream
So, we got a kitten. Yes, we already have a cat, Layla – she’s our baby, but my sister who lives out on an acreage, saved a cat who had a litter of kittens and she conned us into taking one home… totally against our will 😉 😉 Her name is Pip.. for Pipsqueak, and

Simple Seared Ahi Tuna Tacos (GF)
Something about summer always gives me a hankering for tacos! Fish tacos, chicken tacos, shrimp tacos, and vegan tacos (thanks Deryn ;))! Every now and then our local Save-On-Foods gets Ahi Tuna, and I definitely have to splurge and go for it. Fish like this sure isn’t cheap in the middle of the prairies, and it
