for the love of a good sandwich: foodie friday
Filed Under foodie friday | September 2, 2011
So here’s the thing. I addition to an irrational Pinterest addiction, I have a Food Network problem. I love me some food TV…and if its reality food TV? Sign. Me. Up. Lately, I’ve been enjoying the Next Food Network Star. A bit back bitey at times, but the winner was one of my top choices [...]
foodie friday: eat better together
Filed Under foodie friday | August 19, 2011
I have a confession to make. I have a bit of a picky kid. He eats fairly balanced meals, but there isn’t too much variety in his diets. If he could, he would survive on watermelon, eggs, cheese, noodles, cucumbers and blueberries. One thing that tends to help with encouraging his eating is if he [...]
time to wine:summer sipping…the end is here
Filed Under events, sponsored posts | July 15, 2011
There aren’t many things worse than a party guest that doesn’t know when to go. No amount of hinting can seem to get them out of your house and into the taxicab home. Luckily for us, we’ve enjoyed partying with you all so much, we never want you to leave! However, like all good things [...]
foodie friday: from beans to bombay
Filed Under foodie friday | July 15, 2011
In a past post, I mentioned my newly rekindled loveaffair with the chickpea. As promised, here is the incredible, edible, Bombay Hummus recipe from one of my favourites, the ReBar cookbook. Its a surprising take on a traditional hummus. The additional layers of spices really kick it up a notch (my apologies Emmeril). I find [...]

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m not sure how I’m going to be able to try all the wines this summer that Marcus has been suggesting. Its going to be tough let me tell you. Congratulations again to Sue, our winner of the 12 Riedel Wineglasses from Hemispheres. We’ll be drawing [...]
time to wine: summer sipping day three
Filed Under events, sponsored posts | July 13, 2011
Yesterday’s questions (and answers) were so amazing, I can’t wait to make dinner tonight. Perhaps I’ll be inspired and pair a hot dog or two with Seguras Vidas (who knew), just to keep everyone on their toes. We’ll be drawing a winner today for the twelve pack of Riedel glasses, so now is the time [...]

Well, its day two of our wine tasting and the conversation just getting started. Feel free to check out any day’s discussions and comment on them…we’ll be sure to respond. Marcus always has such great wine advice, now really is the time to pick his brain and ask your burning wine questions. Summer season, is [...]
time to wine: summer sipping day one
Filed Under sponsored posts | July 11, 2011
There’s nothing better than a party with your friends talking about adult stuff and sipping on your favourite bevvie. But lately, we’ve found it harder and harder to get together with our friends (what with kids and all), and when we do get together, the conversation inevitably morphs into one about daycare, new schools and…inevitably…poo. [...]
tea for two: foodie friday
Filed Under foodie friday | July 1, 2011
I know its odd, but summer makes me think of High Tea. It reminds me of some of my fondest memories of my childhood. My beloved Gan lived in Victoria and was very British (even though she was born and raised in Vancouver). Once I was old enough, she took me to High Tea at the [...]
let’s jam:foodie friday
Filed Under foodie friday, sponsored posts | June 24, 2011
Its strawberry season, its strawberry season! Hooray! The giant baby consumes strawberries at an alarming rate. In fact, I’m fairly certain he would eat nothing but strawberries 24 hours a day if we let him (and if it didn’t do horrifying things to his digestive system). We’ve been giving him California strawberries much to our [...]
