Hello.
No, I didn't bake another cake. Lately I’ve been thinking abut how much stuff I get accomplished in a week and thought I need to sit down and figure out what next to focus on.
I have a hyper active brain. Always thinking about the ‘next’ thing or how I can better this, improve that. Mos…
All of a sudden I got a craving for stewed rhubarb. Mama made it a lot when I was a child and I thoroughly enjoyed the sweet/tart taste with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
While grocery shopping, I spied stalks of rhubarb and selected three of them. I hadn’t a clue which were the ‘good’ ones or wh…
So the Gov't has been spending a lot of tax dollars on advertising for this years Census. I *love* filling out forms, I do enough of it for my contests. So I wasn’t bothered by the request to complete the Census. The more I heard about it made me wonder why I hadn’t received my package in the mai…
Fresh salmon filet and shrimp make for good soup ingredients!
So off to the grocery store I went to get the remainder of the ingredients. This is a Paleo recipe so it’s quite healthy. I’m excited to try it! I have modified the recipe from it’s original post as I didn’t want to use all of the ingr…
I went grocery shopping today and bought a huge pack of strawberries. I had a few bananas frozen so I thought I’d get creative and make some sort of dessert.

I guess you could say it’s either food hell or heaven. It really depends on how much money you bought with you to spend. Now, it’s not my first time shopping at this store but it’s the first time in a few years and to the new location on Cambie.
As I wandered around the area trying to f…
My 3rd Mothers Day
Day is quickly approaching. Three! I personally think *every* day is Mothers Day. Every minute I get to spend with my precious is a blessing. My first Mother’s Day was only months after Mason was born and instead of spending it with him I was rushed into emergency surgery w…
A coworker and I had a conversation at work today. He had asked for a new ink cartridge for our printer. When I saw him next, I asked what he did with the old one and he laughed. I’ve only been at this Company for 2 months and I’m now known as the ‘Recycling Queen’. I had another name for Queen …
Since I've been doing a lot of posts on food, I thought I would switch it up to finance. Yes, that fun topic we all love to talk about. Well I personally do love talking about it as it's the only thing in my life right now that I feel like I have total control over.
It hadn't started that way th…
While I was attempting to fall asleep last night, I thought to myself. What did I accomplish today? Hmm, I worked, made dinner and did dishes. Doesn’t sound like a lot, does it? Well that’s my brains snapshot. Then reality sunk in and I was like ‘heyyyy wait a minute – I did a lot more…
As you may have read my recent blog on my lesson on how to make sushi by Taigi, today I thought I'd try it out on my own I *thought* I had all the ingredients but of course when it came time to getting organized, I did not.
What I had already purchased:
Okay it's show time!
Here is the recipe:
Notes on the sticky rice cakes:
The rice cakes should be gluten-free, but please check the packaging.
If dried - soak in water at room temperature overnight or …
So it's been a few weeks? since I got my vermicomposter all set up.
The first week was good. I checked the bin every few days and added food every 5 days or so. Some people store food waste in a plastic container until it’s feeding day, others put it in the fridge which is what I did. Food t…
One important aspect of a company is good morale. How do you do this? Ensuring your employee are happy by offering a paycheck isn't enough. An office has to be a fun environment, friendly co-workers, rewarding job and last but not least perks!
I work for a small company so we don't have weekly…
