Life Update!

Liz — Sun, 28 May 2017 17:57:46 +0000

I’m really not sure how time has gotten away from me, but somehow it’s been a couple of months since I last wrote a blog post. We spent the majority of March squeezing in some travel around Europe before making the permanent move back to Canada. After a quick ski trip in France, we spent a […]

Skiing in La Plagne

Liz — Wed, 22 Mar 2017 10:20:19 +0000

Well hello there! It’s been a little while since I’ve posted anything because we’ve been travelling for the past few weeks. We’re trying to squeeze in all the European goodness we can before we pack up our apartment and head back to Newfoundland for good. We’re currently finishing up a little road trip around the southern coast of […]

Spicy Pork Tenderloin Tostadas

Liz — Thu, 23 Feb 2017 17:46:23 +0000

A couple of weeks ago, I was having one of those indecisive nights where I couldn’t think of anything I wanted to eat for supper, when I came across these chile-rubbed pork tostadas. They sounded amazingly appetizing, but unfortunately, rather than an actual recipe, I had stumbled across a home delivery meal kit webpage (it seems […]

Homemade Tomato Ketchup

Liz — Mon, 20 Feb 2017 12:30:05 +0000

I started making my own ketchup a few months ago. It’s simple to make, is arguably tastier than the store-bought version, and I feel a bit better about eating it when I can control what goes in it (i.e. no high fructose corn syrup). Don’t get me wrong, it still has sugar in it – there’s no […]

A Weekend in Lisbon

Liz — Sun, 19 Feb 2017 13:25:10 +0000

A couple of weeks ago, Hitchen and I and a couple of our friends spent a long weekend in Lisbon. Honestly, our plans for the weekend centered around eating as much delicious seafood and Portuguese tarts as possible – and we definitely weren’t disappointed. The city itself was beautiful and vibrant, the people were super […]

Chocolate Hazelnut Milk

Liz — Fri, 17 Feb 2017 12:30:44 +0000

Obviously hazelnuts and chocolate are a winning combination…. hello Nutella! This chocolate hazelnut milk is made in much the same way as almond milk, just with a nut substitution and the addition of a little cocoa and honey. So good, and not terrible for you either (for me, this basically qualifies as health food). It’s […]

Bunting Flag Cake Topper

Liz — Wed, 15 Feb 2017 11:48:37 +0000

I love little bunting flag cake toppers! They’re simple, cute, and fully customizable. I first came across them back in 2013 when I was searching for a topper for our wedding cake, and ended up finding one on Etsy that I loved (see photo below – I tried to link to the Etsy shop, however, […]

Clementine Curd

Liz — Mon, 13 Feb 2017 16:30:22 +0000

I’ve always loved classic lemon curd (I’m pretty sure it tastes good on everything), but it was only after my mom made some epic red currant curd recently that I thought of making curd with other citrus fruits. I followed the same basic recipe as my lemon curd, but I reduced the quantity of sugar […]

A Weekend in Crete, Greece

Liz — Tue, 07 Feb 2017 13:48:27 +0000

Back a couple of weeks ago, Hitchen and I spent a long weekend exploring the Greek Island of Crete. It’s the largest of the Greek Islands, and is known for its amazing food and scenery. Being mid-January, there were virtually no other tourists around, however, it also meant that some of the smaller communities were basically […]

Capsule Wardrobe: Winter 2017 Edition

Liz — Sat, 21 Jan 2017 15:51:14 +0000

It’s a new year and time for a new capsule wardrobe! I’ve officially been doing this capsule wardrobe thing for a full two years now (you can find my original post about it here), and I have to say that I don’t see myself going back to my old overflowing-closet ways. I love the clothes […]
