Cook, Tan, Eat, Repeat.
The air is turning cooler, the leaves are changing color, pumpkin spice is on every coffee shop menu, and the apple orchards are in full swing. Not here in Mexico, of course, but for the majority of you readers, these words ring true. I miss autumn. A few years ago I went home to visitContinue reading Bourbon Apple Pie Ice Cream
This blog is teaching me a lot. Back in my Canada days, I saw one of my Italian friends, the one who is a baking machine, make and eat plenty of polenta. I will admit here, I didn’t get it. It looks kinda gross to me, mushy. And I’m kind of a texture person. Recently,Continue reading Polenta Fries
Hey look! I’m going to talk about pasta. And maybe Italy. And burrata. Shocking. It seems that my trips to Italy in the last two years have made me more of a pasta snob. If that was even possible. Now I am snobby about the noodle itself. We always have pasta in our cupboard. WeContinue reading Pasta Pomodoro with Burrata
I am going to try and not make this post ramble on and dart from this story to that, but I’m very afraid I won’t be able to do that. Why? Because I’ll be speaking of lemons. And Limoncello. Which means Italy. And this time specifically the Amalfi coast. And we all know what happensContinue reading Limoncello Lemon Curd Ice-Cream
I’m sick today. Stomach flu. Yes I’m starting today’s food blog off like this. I’m bored. There’s nothing to watch on Netflix. My eyes are too tired to read my friends new book that I’m dying to read. My stomach can’t handle my eyes scrolling through my food feed. I feel so weak I shouldContinue reading Stuffed French Toast Dippers
When we were planning our trip to Europe earlier this year, I knew I needed to see more mountains. We had visited Switzerland last year and it did not disappoint. It actually blew me away. What do you expect when you end up in an airbnb with a view like this? This was before IContinue reading Potato Cakes
Oh man, it’s the dog days of summer. It’s so hot here the past few days if I drink any more water, it’ll start coming out of my pores. September and October are the hardest months for me here on the Mayan Riviera. It’s officially low season for tourism, which is great for traffic andContinue reading Herb Feta Orzo Salad
When I posted this on Instagram yesterday, I had a few people, even close friends, shocked at the fact that I am not a fan of Tiramisu, the dessert. I’m not sure why. Let’s analyze. I like coffee, but I don’t LOVE coffee. I can live without it. Same goes for Kahlua, the coffee-flavored liquor. Continue reading Tiramisu ice-cream
Isn’t it great when something so simple is so good? Perhaps I feel this way because I never ate farro until recently. Living in Mexico means I’m not sure what is commonly used in the rest of North America. Meaning, when I tried farro for the first time this summer in Italy, I just presumedContinue reading Farro Pesto salad
I’ve loved this recipe for many years, but I thought I would never share it. I’m soooooo not good at frosting cupcakes. It’s actually been something that makes me a little crazy. And a pretty cupcake is, lets face it, all about that swirl. But, I figured that if I keep telling people to learnContinue reading Lime Cupcakes
