It’s summer time y’all. And for me that means two things: a break from school and lots of good food. To start off the summer right I want to talk about hamburgers – about the kind you make and the kind you buy. First, the kind you make. Everyone has their favourite burger patty recipe. [...]
Ha, do you know what just happened? My Mom read that title and thought that I was going to talk about pubs and other assorted drinking holes. But don’t worry mom the point of this post is bars, of the cereal and snack kind. I try really hard to make sure that I have a [...]
I’m sure I’m late to this party because I’ve heard people talking about Udi’s for sometime. So if you’ve already tried it and formed your opinion, then…well… it’s your choice to keep reading or not. When the grocery store near us started carrying Udi’s Sandwich Breads, Husband decided it was time we took a break [...]
It’s no secret, we’re on a budget. Actually, we’re living the high life of student poverty. Between the cost of living, the cost of tuition and books, and my inability to work in the US, Husband and I are left with pennies at the end of every month. I don’t have a single complaint. Actually, [...]

It is with great sadness that I have to miss this year’s Stampede. The funniest part about that statement is that I actually haven’t been to the Stampede in almost 3 years. Like most Calgarians who were born and raised in the “Heart of the New West”, I eventually came to a point where I [...]
Well Kids, it’s official, the longest day of the year is now behind us. For some this is not that big of a deal. For Calgarians, this is depressing. Your weather has sucked and the sun seems to be illusive. And for that I am sorry for you. In this, your dark rainy hour, I [...]
Walking through the frozen section at the Harris Teeter I came across this colourful box with the word: Cheenies on the front. The voice in my head: This has to be awesome. The box is cool, the name is cool, and it says that they love them in Brazil. I like Brazil. Never been to [...]

Finding decently tasting, relatively affordable, GF bread has been a bit of a challenge. So in light of these challenges I went where I have [...]
