Candlelit Fondue - An Earth Hour Date Night

This past Saturday from 8:30 - 9:30 was "Earth Hour". Rather than just read by candle light and use up the batteries on our iPads for entertainment, I decided to plan a romantic dinner that would include not only candles, but also wouldn't require me to use my stove to cook.

And so, our romantic Earth Hour fondue night was born.

Sausage and Pepper Bistro Pasta

If you're looking for a delicious and easy pasta dish with a good helping of meat and veggies in a homemade sauce, look no further!

This dinner has it all, is easy to prepare, and is always well received.

Spring is Here!

Happy First Day of Spring!!!!!

The sun is shining, the birds are flying home and I've shed my winter coat.

Sorry Ned Stark, but Winter is as over as your time in Westeros (also, just a few more weeks until Season 5!!! Yet another reason I'm happy about spring!)

Lamb and Guinness Stew

It's the day after St Patrick's Day, but if you're still feeling a touch Irish, I have a delicious remedy for you!

Lamb and Guinness Stew!

Luck of the Irish and Other Matters!

What a past week it has been. 

Perfect Pineapple Upside Down Cake

I don't know if it's the warmer weather, my dreams of being somewhere tropical right now, or the fact that it's so darn delicious, but I have been craving pineapple like CRAZY lately! 

It's become a regular feature in my smoothies, so I always have lots of it around these days.

I was on my way home from the gym, when I decided that I had earned something a little extra, so pineapple wouldn't just be in my after-gym smoothie, but also dessert. It was time to make the Perfect Pineapple Upside Down Cake!

Raindrops on Roses... Remembering my Favourite Things!

It's been a weird kind of week.

Quick and Dirty Chicken Shwarma

One weekend night we had some extra time on our hands, when Kris looked at me and said "lets cook ourselves something new and fun for dinner"

I love this man. He totally gets me.

We pulled out our Jamie Oliver Comfort Food cookbook, our go to favourite, and poured over the pages to find something new and exciting to cook. We were tempted by Osso Buco, and the Insanity Burger, but in the end we settled on Chicken Shawarma.

Anthropologie Spring Collection 2015

I received my marketing email from Anthropologie the other day, announcing their new arrivals for Spring 2015.
