Frank’s Redhot, I love you
June 17, 2009

I just finished eating breakfast. It was my usual egg whites and pineapple. Surprisingly, I’m not tired of eating plain egg whites and I was really afraid I would be when I started this diet. Anywho, I would just like to say that Frank’s Redhot Original sauce goes amazingly well with scrambled egg whites! This [...]

Big Blondes
June 15, 2009

About ten minutes ago, I pulled a pan out of the oven and the most aromatic scent filled the space of my small apartment. I’ve just made these amazingly delicious nut bars. If you love nuts, chocolate, coconut and caramel all meshed into one chewy square then this is your dream dessert. They are called [...]

A Day of Gastronomical Debauchery
June 14, 2009

As planned, yesterday was my day of sinful eating. I began my day with my usual cup of coffee, pineapple chunks and, this time, scrambled egg whites over a thick slice of warm buttered toast. Mmmm. Later, I met my mom and sister at Sneaky Dee’s at the corner of College St. and Bathurst St. [...]

Uno’s Pizza Pops
June 12, 2009

Jay is absolutely crazy about Pillsbury Pizza Pops. Every time we go to the grocery store, he has to pick up a pack of those calzone-type snacks. And it has to be deluxe which I believe contains pepperoni, mushroom and green pepper. Personally, I think they taste like cardboard, but they are a quick and [...]

I’ve just finished making chicken meatloaf. When I started to make it I had only added tons of garlic, onion and spices and it was already smelling yummy. Recipe for two-ish: 1lb lean ground chicken or turkey…or I guess beef 1/2 cup onion chopped 1/4 cup celery diced Garlic, I minced about 4 cloves of [...]

Temptation, I am not afraid of you!
June 11, 2009

Last weekend was my friend’s bridal shower and I volunteered to make these amazing caramel butter bars to serve at the party. They are from Jill O’Connor’s book Sticky, Chewy, Messy, Gooey (find it at Amazon Gooey Caramel Butter Bar recipe here). In my opinion, it is the best dessert book ever! My friend who [...]

Is this a weightloss infomercial?
June 10, 2009

In about a month, I will need an amazing beach body. I will need a Slim in 6/Turbo Jam/Power 90 type body. Two reasons: 1. My dear friend is getting married and I’m her maid of honour, so I must look hot 2. I’m going on holiday to a tropical country And, of course, just [...]

Hello world!
June 4, 2009

This is the first step. I open up Word and that damn cursor blinks expectantly. Oh the pressure! It’s telling me that whatever I decide to type next should be and must be good…and free of grammatical and spelling mistake so that I’m not plagued with those pesky squiggly lines. Am I the only one [...]
