Whoever said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day has a spot in my heart forever. I love breakfast foods and can often be found eating scrambled eggs on a corn tortilla with veggies for lunch or dinner or downing a boiled egg doused in hot sauce as a snack. The common [...]
If you know me you know I have a *ahem* few tattoos, and the majority of my artwork has a common theme: flowers. I am continuously inspired by their colorful beauty, and as a result I have several permanent flowers inked on my body as a constant reminder of the fragility of life – I [...]
This post is inspired by Avi, who recently made a comment on a photo of a sunset in one of my blog posts which got me thinking…I have seen a lot of amazing sunsets around the world and I should share more of them with you. Apologies if any of these photos are in previous [...]
I absolutely love breakfast foods. Growing up, we often had “breakfast for dinner”. When I discovered that I was gluten-sensitive, the toughest meal to eat was breakfast because so many of the foods contain flour, so as can imagine I set out to re-create a lot of my favorite sans wheat and gluten. A master [...]
I would consider myself a fish taco aficionado. If they are on a menu (and of course are gluten-free), I am eating them. I make it my mission to try as many different varieties as well as restaurants that serve them when I am in Latin America. Last year alone I went to Sayulita, Mexico, [...]
I am in love with Sayulita, Mexico. This past fall I was fortunate enough to coordinate my trip to include partaking in the Day of the Dead (or in spanish Día de Muertos) festivities. A bit of history: Mexico commemorates the Day of the Dead annually on November 1st and 2nd. The holiday focuses on gatherings of [...]
I have been super negligent about keeping this blog up-to-date, but it isn’t because I’ve forgotten about it…I’ve been super busy with so many projects that I’ve hardly been able to keep it all straight. No excuses, just straight up constrained for time. Here’s a quick low-down on what’s been going on… In the spring [...]
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 have traveled to Mexico a few times before. Always all-inclusive, always a sh*t-show. My first time was back in 1995, and it was consequently the first time I had ever been on a plane. I went to Puerto Vallarta with a group of 5 girls from my high school, and as you can imagine, [...]
It feels like winter went on…and on…and on this year. We are usually blessed with frequent chinook winds here in Calgary, but this year it just didn’t feel like we got a lot of reprieve from the cold and snow. Having spent the first part of the winter in Thailand, it was hard going to [...]
