Lemon Strawberry Yogurt Loaf

Lemons and Stawberries. Strawberries and Lemons. Doesn't that just scream summer to you? A few good friends of ours all gave birth around the same time so we are surrounded by babies this summer. Look how precious she looks. Only 8 days old! To celebrate, I decided to bake this delicious dense yogurt loaf filled with strawberries and lemons. Hope you're all having a wonderful summer so far! Lemon Strawberry Yogurt Loaf - 1 1/2 cups of...

Black Cat Bistro, Ottawa

Black Cat Bistro has been on my list of places to try for a very long time. My good friend, N, invited us out for dinner to meet his new girlfriend, so I took the opportunity to knock Black Cat off my list. This place is easy to miss. I have driven and walked past Black Cat Bistro many times without even realizing it was there! The sign for the restaurant sign is not an in-your-face sign, and I find that the restaurant just kind of blends in...

Creamy Avocado Pasta

I know it's been a while since I posted a recipe. The truth is, I've hardly been cooking. And if I do, it is quick, easy peasy stuff. Stuff not worth photographing and writing about. Until now that is... Life is busy, and when I do have time for myself, I'd rather get out and enjoy the beautiful summer weather we've been getting. Gotta take advantage of it, summer doesn't last long here! CK and I are lovin this recipe, and the best part is that...

Margot Cafe and Bar, Nashville

Margot Cafe and Bar Hope everyone had a great Canada Day! And if you're in the US, Happy 4th of July! I just got back from an awesome but tiring trip to Europe, so CK and I just laid low and took it easy. We watched movies and vegged out on the couch with a bag of my new favorite chips: PC Loads of Ketchup Chips. You've gotta try them! Absolutely mind blowing how much seasoning is on those ketchup chips. The other flavors don't live up to expectations,...
