French Onion Dip
Posted
I have a weakness for chips. I have an even greater weakness for chips AND dip. When in a pinch, the Helluva Good dips or even a guilty jar of Ruffles dip will do, but when you have the time and patience to make your own, Home-Made French Onion Dip will blow your socks away. […]

Rapscallions Food Truck
Posted
There’s nothing better than food trucks in the summer, except for food trucks that park right outside your workplace. We have been spoiled by Rapscallions Food Truck three times now, parking so close to the building that I can see it from my desk. And no, I don’t work downtown so this is an extra...

Wendy’s Gourmet Perogies

Food Journal: 6.5 Days in Seoul
Posted
Back in January I took a very quick trip to Korea to visit my friend Susan. I know travelling halfway across the world and spending more than half a day flying doesn’t really justify seeing a single city for 6.5 days, but hey, such is life. This was a rare opportunity for me to go, where I [...]

Kitchen Chalkboard Wall
Posted
Here’s to my first food related but not directly food related post. Pinterest has gotten me again, and this time for home DIY projects. When my husband and I did a full overhaul on our kitchen years ago, we had the luxury of planning everything. How much and what type of storage, gas range,...
