I decided to try out this almond butter energy balls recipe today. It’s healthy, easy and not too sweet. I didn’t really measure out the wet ingredients, so I had to add a little more when I started rolling because the mixture was too crumbly at first to work with. I also discovered that it [...]

Meatless Thursday
I saw a cooking segment on CityLine and I was inspired to make this meatless dish last Thursday. It is a curried lentil and quinoa dish, which I paired with pan friend Chinese Long Bean. I liked it, and I think hubby was ok with it, but I think he’d prefer it with a chicken [...]
Restaurant review: Momofuku Noodle Bar
This weekend I woke up craving a bowl of noodles, so I gently tapped my sleeping hubby and told him that I was hungry. He slowly opened his eyes, gave me his cute little wake-up smile and asked me what time it was. It was late morning. He asked me where we should go to [...]
Restaurant review: Edulis
On Saturday evening, hubby and I dined at Edulis, located at Niagara Street & Wellington. I had made the reservation for April 6 as it would be the last day it would be open until April 25th. They are now closed for spring holiday. Edulis means EDIBLE in Latin. It is also part of the [...]
Ridgetown bonspiel
As I mentioned in my previous post, hubby and I were invited by our friends, the Humphrey’s, to curl with them in a 2-day bonspiel. Hubby and I have only ever participated in our league’s bonspiels, which takes place in a single day, at our local club. Games are short, allowing teams to only play [...]
Steamed egg
Steamed egg brings me back to my childhood. My mother would steam the egg in a small glass bowl. I loved the silkiness and smoothness of the egg and would mix it into my rice. As an adult, I’ve tried to steam egg, but did not have much success up until recently. I’d beat [...]

If you live in a cold climate and don’t own a greenhouse or have the space for a cold frame, that doesn’t have to stop you from growing edibles. Last week I decided to try my hand at microgreens. What are microgreens? They are a tiny form of young edible greens that are harvested while tiny, tender, [...]
A cuppa tea
Earlier this week, I completed a tea course through George Brown College. Hubby and I have become tea drinkers, brewing up several cups a night. Over the last few months, our tea collection has grown extensively with one of our favourites being the oolong. I also enjoy the chai blends and rooibos blends; however, those are [...]
Pancake day
I was craving pancakes. It’s always hit or miss when you buy berries in the winter, but the blackberries and strawberries I picked up at Sobey’s were juicy and delicious! I admit, the pancakes are not home made, but it was still a lovely breakfast. And instead of coffee, I brewed a pot of Coffee [...]
Teavana Stainless Steel Insulated Tumbler
Hubby bought this tea tumbler for me for Christmas from Teavana, and it’s absolutely amazing. This tumbler holds about a cup and a half of tea. It’s stainless steel and the insulation is amazing. Today I made some tea and was rushing out the door. In my haste, I left the tumbler of tea behind. [...]
