Oh for Heaven’s sake, NOW what do you eat?!


If any of you are wondering what the title’s about, you should check out my past series on questions I’ve gotten over the years. I’ve actually been asking myself the above question over the past couple of months. I’ve been a lil’ slow with my recent posts because I’ve been having a tricky time re-learning…

Yes, Me!


If you’re wondering what the title’s referring to, check this post out and all will be clear. Be sure to come back to this one though…  🙂 I don’t know about you, but I’ve never been very good at tooting my own horn. So it’s with a bit of trepidation that I write this post, because…

Who, Me?


A weird thing happened the other day: I got nominated for a Food Stories Award! To be honest, I thought it was spam at first. Don’t lie, I’m sure you’re looking at each other and thinking it still is, but I swear I checked it out and made sure my computer remained uninfected – it’s…

Part 3: + 13 Lbs


This is the last post in the Toronto series – be sure to check out Part 1 and Part 2 first so you’re not entirely lost. But first, what do you think of the new look? I finally caved and signed up for Twitter to see what all the fuss was about. At least that’s…

Part 2: + 12 Lbs


If you’re just joining us, please feel free to check out Part 1 first. You wouldn’t want to miss all of Friday’s juicy details now would you? Saturday found us hitting up Sadie’s Diner, where vegetarians and vegans alike can eat humongous breakfasts all day. I had a heaping plate of scrambled tofu, home fries,…

Part 1: Back from Toronto + 11 Lbs


Please note: this is a crazy long post with very few pictures – I was so busy eating that I didn’t think to take ANY photos, not even grainy ones. I’m such a bad blogger. After writing most of this missive I decided to break it into three parts, so it shouldn’t be too bad…

Foodie Heaven on a Sunday Morning


I’m slowly emerging from my “new-“house-in-a-new-city shell, “new” indicating that our home is far from being new. We’ve spent the last month doing extensive renovations (well, extensive for us anyway… I’m sure Mike Holmes could do it with his eyes closed and one of his massive mitts tied behind his back). After a month of…

Back from NYC + 10 lbs


As promised, here’s my take on a whirlwind weekend in the Big Apple: flew in Friday afternoon, flew out Sunday evening. What did we do in between flights you ask? We ate, walked, ate, walked, ate, walked, slept in our air-conditioned hotel room the size of a broom-closet, ate, walked, went to the top of…

Heading to the Big NYC!


Just a quick post for y’all… Actually, more of a request really: What places should I hit up in NYC? Of course I’m heading to MooShoes and Lula’s Sweet Apothecary, but I want to know where all the locals go. Anyone reading from NYC who’s dying to suggest a must-visit vegan eatery? We went in…

Part 4: So what do you EAT?!


Welcome to part 4 of 4 in my Conversation series. This one took a lil’ while longer to produce because my sweet tooth recently went bananas and I’ve been busy baking up a storm. Today is WAY too hot for baking though, so I thought I’d finish up the series with one last piece of…

Execute Cookie… FAIL


Into every good chef’s life, a little cookie must crumble… No matter how much you love cooking and no matter how much you feel at home in the kitchen, you’re bound to mess up sometime. Luckily, the results are usually still edible if not always visually appealing  (unless you mix up baking powder and baking…

Part 3: Honey?! Are You Kidding Me?


Welcome to Part 3 of I don’t know how many! I suggest you peruse Parts 1 and 2 to fully prime yourself before delving into this part of the conversation. But first: Lil’ Omni: Wait, wait, wait – you said you don’t eat honey?!  What’s wrong with eating honey!? They don’t kill the bees. Lil’…
