Isn’t life amazing? And busy? And amazingly busy? Yeah, I’ve noticed. The fact that I wasn’t posting for a while does not mean I stopped cooking (well maybe for a bit there) or eating (I wish). I WAS keeping it on the low side though, which means I preferred to snack on things than to […]

Seared Maple Basil Mini Scallops – A Nova Scotian Delight
Summer is here! It’s 29 degrees Celsius outside as I type this and I am just thrilled! Of course, witnessing the sun and warmth through a glass window while sitting in my office at work is not your prefect definition to “enjoying summer” but I’ll take it!
