It’s been three days since I began my sourdough starter. This is attempt #2. The first attempt failed to produce any noticeable dough-like qualities after many days. This one however, is growing aggressively. I’m pretty proud of it. I come home and talk to it. Like a parent, I check that it’s growing, and that […]
I know I write a lot about how little effort was required to carry out some of these recipes. It isn’t so much a lazy thing as it is a feeling of relief. I think much of that has to do with the fact that some recipes and cooking techniques can seem overwhelming when first […]
I have had a cold for three weeks now. It just will not quit. Some days, I wake up feeling great and then the next every symptom is back with a vengeance. I have been craving soup for the last few days and this recipe did not disappoint. In fact, Kyle put this soup on […]
Salads are okay, I guess. I prefer carbs. If I’m going to have a salad, it has to be jam-packed with stuff so that I actually feel like I’ve eaten when all is said and done. I had cooked beets in the fridge just waiting to be used so I knew that was going to […]

Surprisingly, they were not that difficult. Without the help of a second person however, they will require some degree of organization. There are a lot of […]
I’m not crazy about icing. I like a cookie jam packed with filling to make up for the lack of icing. However, I am crazy for amazingly decorated cookies with which I can impress my friends and family. My mum and I made sugar cookies yesterday and wanted to try flooding them for decoration. Have […]
I have a cold and it’s kicking my ass. I haven’t been this sick in years. This is day four and it shows no signs of letting up anytime soon. I’ve been feeling guilty about my lack of posts recently. I just couldn’t find a recipe that intrigued me. Then, I came across a blog […]
