Mr. CG and I cannot get enough curry. Any ethnicity, anytime. This week spring is really in the air here in Cowtown so I was feeling like a nice, light noodle bowl for dinner tonight. I dug out one of my favorite cookbooks and got to work. Referencing Meet the Coup Cooks Vegetarian Recipe cookbook, [...]
It’s been pouring rain in Calgary for the last week…and then some. I have been doing my best to maintain a positive outlook on the weather, even though it isn’t my favorite. In an attempt to plough through the soppy days, I’ve compiled a list of why the rain isn’t so bad. Believe me? Last [...]
I am a salad girl. My mom never had to tell me to eat my veggies – I have always loved them! I never buy salad dressing, preferring to concoct my own from various ingredients in my fridge and pantry. Last summer, I went to the Rebar Modern Food Restaurant in Victoria, BC. My good friend [...]
The other day my hubby looked at me with a forlorn expression on his face and said “Babe, how come we never have any sweets in the house?” I guess I had been neglecting my wifely duties – no baked goods in the pantry! Needing a break from the office upstairs, I pulled out the [...]

I have sensitivities to wheat, gluten, and dairy, and am always on the lookout for great recipes that enable me to indulge from time to time without hurting my gut. I was recently gifted with a new cookbook called 2 Clever Cooks, written by Calgarians Erin Paulson and Dana Meroniuk. Whenever I take a new [...]
…from the book I am reading: The Monk that Sold his Ferrari, by Robin Sharma. I am only about a quarter of the way through, but I am completely captivated by the story, which is meant to deliver a life lesson to the reader, and I am a willing student. A few statements in the [...]
So yesterday was one of those days that I could honestly take off the calendar completely and pretend it never happened. Except it did. Nothing really terrible occurred at all, but you know those days, right? Energy is low, head is lightly pounding, and the tasks on the to do list are laughable. It was [...]
…I can’t help it. I have an addiction to books (which I choose, yes, I know this…I’m working on it). I also covet my visits to places like Indigo, Chapters, and Leanne’s house, which collectively house enough books to keep me reading everyday for the rest of my life…and for many lifetimes to come. While [...]
