I built a fort this week. I’m a grown woman, dating a grown man and we built a goddamn fort over our TV using bed sheets and duct tape. Let me preface by saying it has been a looooooonnnng week.

As you can tell by the title, I cooked with duck fat for the first time this week and I’m IN LOVE. Does this make me a glutinous asshole who feasts on the richest, fattiest part of a poor, helpless duck? Probably and I’m sorry. For the most part I’ve been making an effort to… Continue reading DUCK FAT
Mini Dinner Party! Friday my bff from Ottawa, who now lives in TO, came over for dinner.

(*Side note: Dam Edna is my spirit animal and his/her show is absolutely incredible and I feel so blessed to have seen it!!!!!) I had bought some corn meal a few weeks ago… Continue reading Corn Bread and Casserole
Ok, now it’s time to get serious. You know how humans are destroying the earth and ruining our oceans? We’re a fun bunch of jerks, huh? You’re probably wondering what YOU can do to make this better. WELL, eating less meat would help (I know, I’m guilty of eating more meat than I should…) and… Continue reading Sustainable Fish!
Hello! I don’t mean to brag but I’ve really out done myself this week. I made food that I’ve never made before and it turned out better than I could have imagined.
