Cream of tomato soup
One of the best things about winter (along with snow, hot cocoa, blankets, books and cuddling) is that it’s soup season. Warm, hearty, healthy and oh-so-delicious soup season. It’s like a hot bath for your tummy and a liquid savouriness (yes, that’s a word – at least with respect to this recipe) for your mouth… at least […]
Quick and Easy Christmas Treats
Are you ready? Except for the cooking that is? I am!! Mainly because Hubby handles cooking the main meals, and I handle the baking, grocery shopping, cleaning etc. (aka: he gets all the glory).

The BEST Protein Bars in the world
“The BEST protein bars in the world” sound like a tall order to live up to? You need to try these and tell me I’m wrong. I don’t even like protein bars as a rule, but I’ve been snacking away on these like they were candy. Truly, I even had one as dessert the other […]
