Most of us these days are struggling with time. Balancing work, family, housework, and a healthy lifestyle is demanding. One item that helps keep our house centred is meal prep & planning. Each Saturday morning, I plot out meals for the week and make a list. This process helps ensure that we are meeting our […]
This article discusses implied violence and may be upsetting to some readers. Happy Pride everyone! Last year MADNick and I discussed how to be a good ally of the LGBTQI+ community.

This is a favorite quick weekday recipe for us. I love fish and find some of the best dishes are just very simple. This is a great example such simplicity. I enjoy having friends and colleagues over for meals. I like it better than going out, as we tend to connect better, can hear each […]
It is amazing how recipes can bring us back to our childhood and this is certainly one of those recipes. Growing up we had two small blueberry bushes…plus the occasional raid of the neighbour’s bushes. When in season, they were plentiful, and this recipe would make its way out for very special Sunday mornings. Another […]
As someone who likes to eat, I have to keep focus on what I eat to keep my weight under control. For me this doesn’t mean not eating what I like, but rather portion size and planning. As a Londoner, we have access to some amazing cuisine. But this must remain a treat in order […]
