Soup is life. It's delicious and comforting. Every culture has their own classics. In Québec, we have our yellow split pea soup to keep us warm in the winter and make us feel better. France has its onion soup. Japan has ramen. Vietnam has pho. Ukraine has borscht. In Mexico, there's a traditional soup enjoyed on special occasions called pozole. There...

On Mother's Day, it can get extremely busy in restaurants, especially for brunch. I don't know what's the thing with brunch and mothers, but it does seem to be a classic. Instead of going out to a crowded restaurant, why not stay home and have a quiet and delicious brunch to celebrate your mom? In case you need inspiration, here are...

Hello! Sorry I haven't posted any new content lately. When you're with somebody in accounting, March and Aprill become very busy months! Since the tax season is over, we're heading north for a romantic weekend in Mont Tremblant. I will post a new article when I get back. In the meantime, here are some pictures of my last trip to Mont Tremblant. Yes,...

Last Friday, I discovered a super cool place in Montreal's Gay Village thanks to a workshop about kimchi. A few weeks ago, an event on Facebook had caught my attention. It was a two-hour workshop to learn how to make your very own kimchi. The tickets were only 20$. I would leave with a jar of kimchi and a recipe...

We're all very busy people and I think we can agree that coming back from work to an already prepared meal is great. That's why I love my slow cooker. Since I often come back from work hungry, I just love to step into the house to find dinner waiting for me in the slow cooker. Since I'm often in a hurry...

WhatThis week, I set myself the challenge to learn how to crochet. It seemed like a fun manual activity. Learning new skills can be an amusing way to challenge yourself. Plus, it can give really cute results. While this idea had been floating around in my mind for some time, I never set my mind to actually learn to crochet...

The sun came out, snow has melted and we are beginning to see the light at the end of the winter. For the occasion, I couldn't help but spent too much time on Etsy looking at fun and colorful accessories I could wear with my spring wardrobe. Here are beautiful accessories to wear this spring. Be prepared to see a lot...

For this weekend culinary challenge, I tried something a little bit different: homemade nuts, seeds, and dried fruits crackers. As you may know, I don't have a sweet tooth. Therefore, for my late night snacks, I usually turn to salty treats like popcorn and chips. Crackers felt like a healthier version of these snacks. For that week's menu, I also planned to complement...

There are some ingredients that you buy to make a specific recipe and then forget about until you make that same recipe again; sometimes only to find out the product has expired. Last week, when I bought a jar of tahini to make hummus and only used two tablespoons, I decided that this condiment wouldn't go to waste. Tahini is...

It's no secret that I'm a huge Harry Potter fan. For my birthday last week, I was really happy to receive a HP audiobook (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: the illustrated edition. I gladly added them to my collection. Here are great Harry Potter Etsy finds I'm currently dreaming about! Stickers for...
