Do you like beets? It took me until my late teens to even get introduced to them and it was through these pickled beets with horseradish.

Pumpkin Bundt Cake With Home-Made Caramel Sauce
Fall is in air people and I for one am very happy! Not that you would have known that last week here in Ottawa. Our Summer here in the Capital of Canada was not our usual warm and sunny days.

15 Minute Chili Sauce
I'm going to be completely honest with you here. When I was young, I did not like this 15 minute chili sauce. I'm not even sure why.

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

I would tell you why but it would definitely gross you all out! And embarrass the crap out of me! HAHAHA...embarrass the … Continue reading Random Thoughts And Other Things – 3
