Sweet Bakery

When my family moved to Bronte Harbour last year, one of the best finds in our new neighbourhood was Sweet Bakery, a cupcake shop that has become my go to for celebrations and pick-me-ups. 

Maluca Wine Bar

Tonight after work I got together for a much needed catch up with two of my favourite ladies, Nela and Amanda. We became friends a few years ago when we all worked retail together at Jacob. We all grew up and got big-girl jobs, but the friendship stuck!

Creamy Mushroom Risotto

I love risotto. It's good at any time of the year, delicious, creamy and always fun to make!

This past weekend, one of my friends organized an activity which I have been excited to try now for a few months. Axe Throwing.

I moved into my new apartment in February and was SHOCKED at how much space I suddenly had. I quickly filled it with furniture, but it was still incredible just how much white space there was on the walls.

Niçoise salad - an evening of ambitious cooking

The other night I pulled into the grocery store parking lot, and inspiration struck: tonight I will learn to make Niçoise salad!

Bunky Renovations - Cottage Life

This past weekend, I was up at my cottage: Rock Bought'em.

Close to Parry Sound in northern Ontario, it's my family's little slice of heaven! We wait to get up here all winter long (which this year was TOO long).
