Merry Ho Ho Ho guys! I hope you all had an amazing and restful Christmas! I would like to say that I did too, but, well...my Christmas didn't go entirely as planned. Which, for anyone who knows me, is pretty much par for the course/ C'est ma vie. The day started out normal. I got up 2 hours . . .
Paleo-ish Poached Pear and ‘Custard’ Tart with Red Wine Syrup
Well hi there!!! Long time, no speak. How have you all been? I know I've said this before, but I've been busy. SOOOOOOO busy. I wish I could say I've been busy with blog stuff. Unfortunately (and apparently) the blog has had to take a bit of a back seat this past year while I learned the ropes . . .
Panna Colada with Poached Pears and Red Wine Syrup
Wow...so it's Christmas already! When did that happen?! Is anyone else finding it hard to get in the Christmas spirit this year? I've been so busy running from point A to point B for the past several weeks, that, apart from snow appearing on the ground, I've barely noticed the creeping up of the . . .
Paleo-ish Thanksgiving Bowl
Hey guys! So...before you say anything, obviously I know that Canadian Thanksgiving has come and gone. BUT unless you've all somehow missed all of the Black Friday promotions everywhere (a.k.a you live under a heavy rock because even I've come across them and I'm routinely found under a . . .
Paleo-ish Hot Cross Buns (and I survived a cleanse!)
So...the CrossFit Open is over (which means that those of you who could care less about it have been spared another post about CrossFit) and, despite not being able to train consistently since last October, I actually managed to improve since last year. Woot woot! Now, normally, such an event in . . .
Blood Orange Passionfruit Champagne Sangria
So...how have y'all been the past few weeks?! I've been...well...busy. Like...wicked busy. The kind of busy where I've been on such an adrenaline rush from day to day trying to absorb as much as I can, that I'm certain I'll sleep for a week once my stage is done...maybe. But I've also had the . . .
Coco-Nog!
So...how many of you are seriously carbed out from your Christmas brunch(es) and dinner(s)? I know I am! Christmas is the one time of year where I start to crave soup. Seriously. And this year I wasn't even that bad!!! Back when I could eat all the dairy and wheat I wanted, I would spend days . . .
Paleo-ish Greek-ish Christmas Cookies
Phil Davis: Well I don't expect any gratitude... Bob Wallace: Well you're gonna get it. We did great, and I'm grateful. So thank you, thank you Phil Davis, from the bottom of my heart...now will you let the rest of my alone? Phil Davis: No I won't. Bob Wallace: Well, why not?! Phil . . .
Paleo-ish Christmas Pudding and Caramel Sauce
So...hands up those of you who like Christmas pudding?! Not many eh...? I don't really blame you. Or at least the 20 year-old (and younger) version of me wouldn't have. Seriously...I don't know a single young person/child who likes Christmas Pudding. Maybe it has something to do with the fact . . .
Paleo-ish Sour Cherry Cranberry Sauce
Guys...the countdown is on! The leaves are definitely turning now, the markets are bursting with gourds, squashes and cranberries, and the air smells faintly of earthy leaves, dewey grass and, more often than I would care to admit, dog sh*t. I also had to drop $30 on a dozen Quinces (a.k.a heavy . . .
