  • Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Valentines Day is tomorrow! Are you a fan or do you hate it?! I’ve never been crazy about Valentines Day to be honest. I find it to be an overpriced holiday for the most part. But, I’ll never turn down decadent chocolates or a beautiful bouquet of flowers, not roses – too cliché. I also enjoy a lovely dinner but nothing super fancy because then the expectations are too high.…

  • Spiced Butternut Squash Soup

    Even though I love to cook, I’m pretty lazy these days. I like my meals to be done quickly so that I can get to my favourite thing ever – EATING! But just because I like quick meals doesn’t mean I don’t want a ton of flavour. These days, I need my meals to be full of flavour but also healthy. I don’t ever want to skimp on flavour just…

  • How to have the BEST Restaurant Weeks Experience in Bermuda

    It’s Restaurant Weeks here in Bermuda and I couldn’t be more excited! Seriously RW is my favourite time of year because I can eat amazing meals in fabulous restaurants for cheap.

I also wrote out a list of personal…

  • 7 Things I’m Leaving Behind in 2018

    I sit here writing this on a cold and dreary Friday. It’s that funky time of year when you really don’t know what day it is or what you’re supposed to be doing. Work for the most part is quiet and slow as so many people are out on vacation. Oh and it’s cold. All I want to do is curl up in my bed with a glass of red…

  • How to have the BEST Christmas

    Christmas is tomorrow! I’m super excited and have been since Thanksgiving. It’s truly my favourite holiday by far.  Even though Christmas is obviously the best, I’ve learned a few ways to make it even better and I’d like to pass them on to you. Earlier this week, I shared tips from my fave chefs for Christmas dinner. Today, I’m sharing my five tips to making sure you have the best…

  • Five Recipes to try for Christmas Dinner

    Christmas is in 11 days!!! Are you excited?? I’m super excited if you can’t already tell! To me, Christmas  means lots of decadent food, incredible wine and time spent with my family. Oh, and fabulous presents as well. But most importantly, it’s the food. I’ve got my menu on lock by the first week of December every year. We have dishes that grace the table every year but every now…

  • Food you NEED to make this Fall/Winter

    With Fall/Winter in full swing, my foodie brain immediately goes to all the delicious comfort foods I should be eating this time of year. Out go the fresh, light salads and in comes the hearty deliciousness. Give me all the curries, the soups, the veggie chilis, the pumpkin goodness and everything that sums up Fall. I have my Fall tried and true recipes – pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin scones, pumpkin soup,…

If you’re like me, you look forward to this season all year. But, at the same time, you don’t want to gain weight. I turned to the expert to get some tips on how to indulge over…

  • Three Red Wines You’re Gonna Wanna Drink in December

      If you follow me on Instagram or have read anything on this blog, you know I’m a massive fan of rosé! I’m pretty obsessed with it and spent the entire summer searching for the perfect bottle. You can read more about that here. Now that the weather has cooled down, I’ve packed away the rosé and moved on the red wines. While I have my favourites, I wanted to…
