I wager if I were to ask people if they prefer brownies or blondies they would more than likely answer brownies, and rightly so; brownies are positively scrumptious, when prepared correctly, and there really is nothing like biting into a chewy yet soft chocolatey delight. On the other hand, however, blondies are also excellent. Quite … More Move over, brownies; it’s a blondie summer
Exercise and fitness have always been of importance to me. I credit this to the fact that both my mom and dad have always led an active lifestyle; my mom is in her 60s and exercises three to four times a week, and while my dad might not be as active as he once was, … More How do you work out?
When I sat down to write today’s post, I truly did not have the slightest clue as to what exactly I would write about. I eventually narrowed my topic down to discussing an animal of some sort, and upon asking my husband for some inspiration, he suggested writing about a jaguar. So, here we are. … More How much do you know about jaguars?
Goldfish crackers were a tremendous component of my childhood, and I would wager that a lot of people can relate to this. Goldfish crackers seem to be a major hit amongst children and adults for that matter – I still enjoy them today, although perhaps not as often as I did when I was a … More Goldfish … but vanilla cupcake flavour?
If you’re Hungarian, you have almost definitely sampled goulash at some point or another. If you’re Hungarian and you haven’t yet had the privilege of trying goulash, do your heritage a favour and go and get your hands on some. Goulash is not specific to Hungary, but there is a difference between traditional goulash and … More Let’s make Hungarian Goulash
While I do not yet have any children of my own, a number of my friends do, and I often hear about issues and obstacles affiliated with having children from them. I am not referring to issues with children themselves; rather, exterior problems that may present themselves if one were to have children, for example, … More Could opening a daycare be in your future?
Business is a concept that I am thoroughly familiar with, but perhaps not in the most traditional sense; I personally don’t possess a tremendous amount of first-hand business knowledge, but, I’ve been surrounded by business in my own family my entire life. My parents are farmers, and my sister owns and operates her own small … More Boosting business in the best way possible
This may sound a bit controversial, but I don’t intend for it to be; I’ve never been a tremendous fan of jokes. I love comedy, and laughing even more, but personally, I enjoy comedic skits, television shows, movies, etc. more than traditional jokes. For the most part, I find common jokes or whatever you might … More What are your best jokes?
Over the weekend, Blaine and I went to The Keg to celebrate our second wedding anniversary. We had a nice dinner and we both enjoy The Keg anytime we visit; we only go for special occasions and celebrations, and we figured it would be a great choice for our anniversary. We both had steak, and … More The ultimate satisfaction of reaping what you sow
I like to consider having long hair as both a blessing and a curse, and I would wager anyone who possesses long hair would agree with me on this. Yes, long, flowy hair is beautiful, and having long hair usually means you’re afforded more opportunities when it comes to styling it. But, having long hair … More Here’s how to style long hair in the heat
I don’t visit the Keg too often – normally only for special occasions and celebrations, not so much for casual dining. Blaine and I recently went to The Keg to celebrate our wedding anniversary that recently passed, and like any other time I dine at The Keg, I thoroughly enjoyed their mashed potatoes. Weirdly, I’m … More Here’s how to make The Keg’s mashed potatoes at home
I’m not entirely sure if there are specific criteria that dictate the length of time during which a relationship is considered long-term. Personally, I figure if the relationship has exceeded a few years it can be considered long-term, but, like I said, I am unsure if there is a certain length of time to exceed … More The beauty of maturity in long-term relationships
When it comes to sales, simplicity is arguably the best method to pursue. Much like the majority of things in life, there isn’t much sense in overcomplicating things, especially if the opportunity to simplify things is present. Unfortunately, as humans, we tend to overcomplicate even the simplest of things, regardless if that was our intention … More Here’s how to make sales easier for everyone
I believe in order to truly comprehend the ins and outs of customer service, one must first immerse oneself in an environment or occupation that involves dealing with the public. Until you’ve worked a job that requires communicating with customers and satisfying their needs and demands, it’s a bit difficult to entirely understand the best … More Customer service: a how-to guide
Following yesterday’s post, I figure it only appropriate to provide all of you with a tasty recipe to whip up some homemade Salsa Verde using, of course, the beloved tomatillo. If you’re a bit late to the blog game, feel free to read yesterday’s post discussing tomatillos, how they’re used, and their flavour profile. I … More Let’s make Salsa Verde
My family and I have always loved Mexican food, and I believe our appreciation for it stems from our temporary foreign migrant workers who assist us on our farm annually. Our workers come from Mexico, and they’ve been working on our farm for longer than I’ve been alive; our one worker, Salome, has been with … More If you’ve never tasted tomatillos, consider this your sign
If you happen to be a resident of Southern Ontario, I do not need to inform you of how damn hot it has been as of late. Back in May, we experienced a week of blazing heat, only for that to be followed by unusually cool weather for June. Apparently, Mother Nature was allowing her … More Here’s what to make when it’s too hot to cook
I’ve had digestive issues, quite literally, since I was born. I’ve been informed that I had terrible colic as a child, and while after the colic subsided I didn’t have any issues for a few years, they undeniably returned once I was about 16. The stomach problems I began encountering when I was a teenager … More Can massage help with dietary issues?
For Father’s Day this past Sunday, my dad made one small request to our family to celebrate – to go out for dinner, together, and to enjoy some Mexican food. My Dad had a specific spot in mind, and while he had tried their takeout once prior, none of us had yet had the pleasure … More You need to visit Lily’s Tacos in Simcoe
I wrote a post a little while ago detailing my honest thoughts about the widely popular Netflix television series known as Bridgerton. I enjoyed elements of it, and while I don’t necessarily think the show lives up to the ridiculous hype it is receiving in the media, it is a decent watch. I’m halfway through … More Queen Charlotte: a helpful guide for watching Bridgerton
I feel as though the Italians may come for me with this post, and I wouldn’t really blame them. There has been a debate in existence for quite some time now about whether or not pineapple is an acceptable pizza topping; personally, I don’t like pineapple on pizza because I don’t like pineapple itself, but … More Peaches and bacon … on pizza?
In my post a few days back discussing the growth of mould in water bottles and how to go about avoiding this happening, I mentioned how steel water bottles are arguably best in terms of mould prevention. Stainless steel, specifically, is non-porous, meaning it is the best material a water bottle can be composed of … More This should be your next water bottle
When it comes to failure, most of us wish to be the furthest from it possible, and understandably so. Socially, we have been conditioned to perceive failure as negative, consequential, and disappointing, so it isn’t terribly difficult to decipher why we carry the notions we do toward failure, prior to even engaging with it. We … More Failure: a misunderstood concept
I drink enough water to rival a fish, and that is not an exaggeration. Sometimes I actually can’t really believe how much water I throw down the gullet in a given day, but I haven’t spawned gills or fins as of late, so I think I’m in the clear. Believe me or not, but I … More Finding mould in your water bottle? Read this
I’ve mentioned a couple of times here on my blog that I’ve started playing rugby again after a 10-year break. Such an extended hiatus was never the intention, but thanks to Lyme disease and other factors, my return was pushed a little later than I anticipated. I fell in love with this game back when … More Rugby: much more than a sport
This might be a bizarre assertion, but as of late, I’ve really been enjoying sandwiches. That is not to say I didn’t like sandwiches before recently; I’ve always enjoyed them, but I think for a while I was entirely unaware of how fucking great sandwiches can be in terms of their versatility. I was also … More Let’s make club sandwiches
I mentioned at the conclusion of yesterday’s post that today’s will be a continuation of our discussion about different types of headaches. My inspiration for writing about headaches is my husband, Blaine. He has been prone to headaches since before I ever knew him, and he suffers from them more than enough. A few evenings … More Headaches: how much do you know (part two)
Enduring a headache is, in my opinion, one of the shittier experiences in life. I find headaches to be brutal in the sense they’re a bloody nuisance; it is quite difficult to go about your daily tasks and duties when every movement you make causes pain in your head. I am fortunate in the sense … More Headaches: how much do you know?
If I were to conduct a survey asking people to answer whether or not they enjoy being overlooked in any context or situation, I think I would successfully hypothesize, well in advance, that the overwhelming majority of people would answer no. I guess I could be wrong, but I really don’t think I am. Being … More Feeling overlooked? Make them notice you
My sweet tooth and I became acquainted at quite an early age. I’m pretty sure I’ve liked chocolate since the moment I could stomach it, and I don’t expect my love for it to waver anytime soon.
