Silky Smooth Chocolate Avocado Mousse
Are you guilty of having a sweet tooth? I’ve always been a savoury kinda gal, but ever since the holidays and giving in to one too many sweet treats at various parties and get-togethers I’m finding that I’m going through a bit of a sugar withdrawal.

I know you know that feeling!! Sometimes […]
Spicy Thai Butternut Squash Soup
Baby, it’s cold outside! And what better way to embrace the dark, gloomy, windy, wet and rainy, snowy, frigid winter season than with a bowl of vibrantly colourful, body and soul warming, comfortably soothing, velvety smooth cup ‘o soup. One of my all-time fave ingredients for a fall/winter soup is butternut squash. 1) Because they are in season […]

It’s been a rainy couple of weeks in beautiful Vancouver and there is nothing better than some hearty comfort food on days when you just want to veg out at home and stay dry…..not to mention steer clear of the nasty cold+flu bug being passed around like a hot potato. One of my all-time favorite […]
