Dream Destination: La Paz, Mexico

Given what’s been happening in *ahem* international relations with our neighbour to the south these days, travelling to the US for a vacation is becoming less and less popular. Traffic to the US from Canada is way, way down. Canadians, instead, are travelling more in

Look. Yes. I have too many cucamelons. Who knew that my secret talent was growning cucamelons?? Not me! But here we are…. And boy are we here!! It’s September and I have way, way WAY too many cucamelons. I have been eating them in salads,

Meal Prep: Thai Salad

I’m a big meal prepper, and I have been for a long time. Spending a couple of hours once a week to make lunches and breakfasts (and the occasional dinner) for the week helps to save me so much time, and I eat much more

I’ve made it my mission to try to support and hype up as much of our local BC businesses as possible, and now that we are in a full blown trade war with the US, it’s become more important than ever to Buy Canadian. Here’s
