I have this habit of checking my calendar to find out what I did on a given day one, two, three + years ago. I find it entertaining to reminisce on where I was and how I felt then compared to today. This day last year, we were discovering Bruges and tasting all the good stuff Belgium offers. We …
Aside from these stuffed zucchini, I’ve got two more recipes lined up for you before I’m ready to move on to fall produce. I do realize that fall starts today and you’re probably salivating for apples and butternut squash already. But let’s hold on to summer for a little longer shall we? Don’t get me …
We are headed to the woods next week. Every year in August, we go north for a few days of camping in complete wilderness – a tradition I greatly look forward to. The first time we went, we found our secret spot near a stream and we’ve been going back to the exact same location …

Last time we talked, life was very hectic to say the least. While I can’t say that everything is back to normal, some things are behind us and I’m grateful for that. Jason and I moved into a new apartment, nearly double the size of our previous place. In the dead of winter, no less. …
I’m at a loss for words these days—recent news have left me speechless. Things might be a little quiet around here until I regain some clarity. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Until then, I’m sharing with you pictures of Montreal green alleys that were taken last week after a leisurely lunch at Byblos. Montreal, I …
You might wonder if I’ve been cooking with anything other than fruit lately and that’s a fair question. Fruit has indeed been the star of several recent posts, and I can only attribute that to the excitement I feel when I witness its abundance… right in the city. It turns out Montreal is full of …
