I had a childhood friend who was obsessed with brussels sprouts. She loved eating them boiled and plain – no salt, no seasoning, nothing. She loved them so much that it never occurred to her that not everyone felt the same way. I went...
The best part of Thanksgiving is the leftovers, am I right? But, to be honest, I’m truly and utterly obsessed with all leftovers. Sometimes I’ll purposely make an absurd amount of food so that I can wander over to...
I’ve been wide awake and bleary eyed at three in the morning every single day since arriving in Tokyo (thanks jet lag!) The trains shut down here at 12 or 1 am, so I’ve had plenty of time to randomly...
Seems like there’s a great divide on stuffing vs. dressing. Technically, this isn’t stuffing because it hasn’t been stuffed inside a bird (hard to do when you just braise a leg) but regardless, I like my stuffing unstuffed and...
I know I say everything is my favorite, but seriously, mashed potatoes are my be all, end all. I just love, love, love them and have been known to eat mashed potatoes as a meal. Even when I was little...
It’s a little funny for me to call a grilled cheese brunch food because the truth is, I eat grilled cheeses all. the. time. If I have bread in the house, and I’m hungry, it’s always a toss up...
It’s been cold and sunny all week and I’m loving it! Frozen cheeks, puffs of breath in the air, and cozy meals in are what I’ve been all about. I’ve also been getting crazy organized with packing and reorganizing...

Whenever I’m looking to make a fast and easy dinner I turn to seafood. It cooks up in a flash and takes on flavours well. Shrimp is one of my go-to seafoods, if only because I usually have frozen...
Udon – it’s got to be my all time favorite noodle. I know ramen and soba get a lot of the popular vote, but for me, it’s udon all the way. Thick, chewy and filling, udon is definitely my...
I’m obsessed with gift giving. I LOVE spending time (both online and off) shopping for other people. I think it’s because I feel like when I buying for someone else, anything goes. My love for shopping means that the...
It’s been a crazy week of sunshine and thundershowers and I’m loving it! November is shaping up to be a super busy month with lots of things in the pipeline and I’m both excited and mildly terrified of everything the...
