Rhubarb Strawberry Crumb Bar

015 (Large)

Last time I went to my parents’ house I was able to bring home a lovely bunch of rhubarb with me. For some people, this probably isn’t all that exciting but for me it means that a dessert full of sweetness, a hint of tart, and made with love is on the way. I have …

Portobello Mushroom Burger with Onion Jam

I have nothing against meat. In fact, I love meat and if you look at my deep freeze you will find a lot of meat. I have never really understood the whole vegetarian thing, especially since our cavemen ancestors probably ate more meat back then plants and I would also assume most of them didn’t …

Mexican Corn on the Cob

Gordon Lake 072

Since I grew up in Chilliwack, I have had my fair share of corn. The best way, in my opinion is to grill it without the husk but I am sure I will stir all sorts of controversy by saying that.  I love the little grill marks, the slight smoky flavour and the sweetness the …

Our one year wedding anniversary in Whistler went by way too fast. The clouds finally parted and we got a speck of sun that shone down on the mountains to remind us how beautiful our province really is. This break of rain was also important because before headed home we still two things on our …

After such a big and filling breakfast at Dubh Linn Gate, J and I headed to Lost Lake and took Duke for a walk around the perimeter trail. It was drizzly and cold the entire time we were on  the trail, but it was nice to get out and do something other than the village stroll. It …

Dubh Linn Gate Whistler

While J and I were in Whistler it rained almost the entire time. It seemed like every time we needed to walk anywhere the rain decided to pour its hardest. There is nothing worse than trying to navigate your way through the Village on foot with no umbrella to end up at your destination looking …

Barefoot Bistro

A year ago I married the love of my life in a beautiful outdoor setting with 80 of our closest friends and family. This was one of the happiest, stressful and anxious days of my life. It went by in a blur and it wasn’t until the photos came back did I really get to …

American Vintage Hard Iced Tea

A few weeks ago I received an email asking me if I wanted to receive a sample of a new beverage called American Vintage Hard Iced Tea. As you know I’m not a huge fan of coolers but I didn’t mind the Palm Bay Spritzers and I love iced tea so I immediately jumped on the …
