Cook, Tan, Eat, Repeat.
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
Isn’t it great when something so simple is so good? Perhaps I feel this way because I never ate farro until recently.

I grew up in a west-end neighborhood of Toronto. A family that we were very close to lived next door up until I was in 10th grade. The family had a girl my age, and she had a younger brother and sister. I was very happy about this, as my sister is 14 years olderContinue reading Oma’s German Potato Salad
