We were hosting for Passover this year. I love hosting, but you know what I love more? The feeling after everyone’s gone and enjoyed their time around the table. Ever since we moved to Canada, we’ve been having our Passover Seder meals with friends. We used to have them with family and then it’s bigger […]
The first day of spring is tomorrow – yay!! but in reality, I just heard that we’re expecting 5cm of snow tomorrow with rain and winds for dessert, so really, I’m not buying this whole “first day of spring” thing, not here in Nova Scotia. BUT, since it is the first day of spring in […]
Ever since I was a child I remember loving stuffed peppers, stuffed cabbage, stuffed everything. With sour cream on top, as far as I’m concerned, you don’t need anything else.

My mom always makes this awesome beet salad. With olive oil and lemon and garlic, I just love it! But if there’s anything I don’t like about it is the fact that the beets always make it look like I just murdered someone in my kitchen, right there on the cutting board, and I can’t […]
