Chicken Carbonara Linguini
There is nothing more comforting than a big bowl of cheesy, yummy pasta! I loved a big fat ol' bowl of Carbonara. It's just so creamy - without the fat of cream - and bacon-y (okay I know that is not a word but for now, it is lol) and just feels like a hug … Continue reading Chicken Carbonara Linguini
Easy Basil Pesto
There is something about cooking with simple, flavourful ingredients that makes any dish taste so good! I loved making my own pesto for that very reason.

Well to that I say, "Faak that!". We all need more - ummmm...Oh Yes moments! Enter deep-fried zucchini sticks! Can I get a big Oh yes from everyone?! I used … Continue reading Deep Fried Zucchini Sticks
Classic Potato Salad
This recipe was inspired by the lazy summer days of my youth. The kind of weekends where everyone got together for a barbecue. Slices of watermelon, hotdogs and hamburgers! There were always a big selection of sides too! Pasta salads, potato salads, green salads and fresh fruits. Someone always brought one of those weird jello … Continue reading Classic Potato Salad
Home-Made Egg Rolls
My family has a tradition of gathering at one particular Chinese food restaurant. It is THE Chinese food place to go to and share a meal! The place is a little hole in the wall (which in my opinion always makes a great place) called Gows. It's in the west end of Ottawa in a … Continue reading Home-Made Egg Rolls

My cousin Kim is a beautiful woman! You might remember that I spoke about her in a previous post. She thinks that she needs to lose weight which is ridiculous because she's a size medium!
