Innovative Low Carb, Gluten-Free Recipes
We have quite a large cookbook/cooking magazine collection in this house. So large, in fact, that we have a whole IKEA bookshelf devoted to containing these items. It’s not quite full yet, but it’s definitely on its way there. The strange part is that I don’t actually buy cookbooks anymore, as I get most of [...]
I always have grand plans when it comes to the holidays. Starting in October, my little mind starts whirring about all the things I plan to make and cook and decorate. But the closer and closer the holidays get, the more I realize that my grand plans are too grand by far, and I have [...]
The problem with Thanksgiving leftovers is that there are never even amounts of each dish. The mashed potatoes might be all gone, but there is still plenty of stuffing and turkey. Or the turkey is all gone, but there are outrageous amounts of green beans still left. You just never end up with the right [...]
As you read this, I am on my way home from what we hope was a wonderful, relaxing family vacation. I have to confess, stepping away from the computer for even a few days, let alone a full week, is kind of scary. The foodblogging world moves quickly, thanks in part to the insanity of [...]

I have lived in the Boston area for over 8 years. It’s longer than I ever lived in Phoenix or Vancouver, and it seems likely that my time here will come to surpass even the time I spent in the city of my childhood, Toronto. This surprises me somehow, that a city I knew little [...]
As someone who grew up outside of the United States, there are certain things that to me seem quintessentially, and quaintly, American. High school marching bands come to mind, I suppose because it’s fall and I’ve seen the tryouts taking place at the local high school. We had school bands in Canada, but I don’t [...]
When I think back on my start in low carb baking, I realize just how far I have come. I used to search endlessly for low carb recipes and meal ideas, and when I found one I liked, I’d follow it almost to the letter. I might make small changes, but I was too afraid [...]
As the first order of business today, I would like to officially open this blog to reader-requested recipes. My first two experiences have been extremely favourable and I love taking on new challenges. If you have a beloved high-carb recipe that you want to see made over into a low carb treat, let me know [...]
I’ve officially made it in the foodblogging world. How do I know? Well, today marks the first time that I am guest-posting on someone else’s blog. This might not seem like such a big deal, people get asked to guest-post all the time. But here I’ve been blogging for over a year, and this is [...]
