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

One of my all-time fave ingredients for a fall/winter soup is butternut squash. 1) Because they are in season […]
