Just two girls and our efforts to be creative and get by.
Adventures of someone that loves food but can’t cook. I would describe myself as more a scavenger than a hunter/ gatherer. This worked fine for me in my teenage years because I would just eat leftovers or food my parents made. Now that I am an adult I feel a huge embarrassment that I can’t cook for myself. It feels like a critical life skill and I was so far behind others in learning. (Look I didn’t take any Home Ec courses in a misguided feminist stance.) For years I just wallowed in self-pity because there was no way I could learn how to cook. Then it occurred to me; There is an entire industry that makes books and tv shows that teach people how to cook. Sounds dumb but this was such a mind bottling moment for me! There are other people who can’t cook! More than that there wasn’t any reason why I couldn’t learn how to feed myself delicious and nutritious food. If you, like me, don’t feel like a perfect hostess who can whip up a gourmet meal but you’d like to start taking some baby steps in that direction then follow along on this journey!
On the illustrious road of trying to be a successful adult who eats well and saves money, I stumble more times than I run. Case in point I got so excited about returning from vacation and buying my own groceries that I spent all my …
Christmas has come and gone and like usual I am left with a surplus of cheese and accompanying snacks. The thing I love most about the holidays is my family spends Christmas Eve or Boxing Day making a giant charcuterie board and eating to our …
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve made a post for Pi(e) Day, let’s just say the sense of impending doom and two years of isolation and fear zapped all my energy. Who would have thought it? Global events that upend life as you know …
Is it even your birthday if you don’t get donuts? Hardly. I turned the unclimactic 29 this year. I am NOT thinking about this being the last year of my twenties. Absolutely NOT worried at all about that. Jokes about aging aside I’m incredibly thankful …
My donut bucket list adventures usually begin with a journey. Whether it be by car or by bus they all involve some degree of travel. Not so anymore as Twins Donuts is a comfortable walk from my house! There is a small degree less guilt …
Is it even a weekend if you don’t get donuts? I mean technically yes but you have to agree a weekend is improved with the addition of Donuts! I’d heard really mixed reviews of Donuteria so I was excited to see for myself. Side note …
Second donut adventure of 2022! This place has been on and off my list for a while. This past weekend I found myself in one of my most favourite places: Granville Island! Normally a Granville Island jaunt would take me right to Lees Donuts! This …
If you follow me on Instagram or have had a few conversations with me then chances are you know I’m more than a little obsessed with donuts. By far my favourite treat! I’m lucky that Vancouver and surrounding cities have an ever-growing donut scene. To …
Anyone who travels knows the bittersweet frustration of having a special dish or drink while away and then trying desperately to find it once you return to your home country. When I was 17 my family moved to England and I lived there with them …
Back in my 2021 Goals post, I mentioned how I wanted to focus in on the bright and positive things in the year. Not to downplay the more difficult things that come up in life but rather to shift my focus. I know for myself …
