I had the privilege to travel to Italy. A long awaited trip that I have been wanting to do for years. This was the destination for our honeymoon, a year after our wedding. Italy just seemed to be the perfect place for so many reasons, Ryan being part Italian, the food being fresh and Italy ...

Wild rice, not actually being rice, is really one of a kind. It has this chewy grainy texture that is slightly addicting and thoroughly enjoyable. It may be common for some to use but really I kind of consider it one of my “once in a while choices”, and I want to use it more ...

Since the winning post for my FAVOURITE VEGETARIAN MEAL contest, was a Chickpea Curry, I am more than inspired to share the recipe! Making a chickpea curry seems to appeal to so many – hence the number of votes that we had on this post. A warming meal such as a curry is a perfect ...
