Yum for your Tum

It’s been cold in Montreal for a few weeks now already (with the exception of last weekend!). In winter, we get it harsh and sometimes it’s so cold it pinches the face.
But the best moments are when you come running inside from your bus stop and feel the heat unfreezing you, such a relief!

MYOC

Make Your Own Cheese!
YES! What a brilliant and oh so tempting idea by UrbanCheesecraft!
These simple kits with instructions would be the perfect gift for the person who has everything! Go for the goat cheese kit, the mozzarella and ricotta one, or the paneer and Queso Blanco one!
YUM!

Feel Like Baking Tinies

Oh MY! How cute are these tiny single serving pies? I’m about to faint! lol

Kitchen Cliché

How to resist these yummy foods, you ask? Just buy a print! You can almost taste the ingredients and they are very low cal… Lol!
Vacco loves food, and it shows!

Mini People

Apparently we are not supposed to play with food. Well, hold that thought!
Mixing little figurines with food items and creating a scene is just what Dongedy Frame is about! Little worlds in which you can climb Nutella bottles, or have a baby nursery in flower petals, or shovel sugar.
It’s a whole new dimension to explore!

Eco Straw World

I’m a straw girl. Yes I know, straws are so bad for the environment — 15 minutes use and then pops into the junk for years and years. I just get cold sores so easily with cans and all!
But I finally found THE solution for the rest of my life: Straws by Carli.
Handmade glass straws, [...]

Cookie Art

Alright, I’m back and there’s lots of fabulous new finds coming to the blog! I didn’t have time to blog for a while, but I had time to bookmark stuff to show you! :)

Missing my Herbs

There’s snow, of course, in Montreal. Well, ysterday was pretty hot for a Dec. 14, so half of it melted, but it’s winter for sure!
I miss my balcony herbs! I’m thinking I might try some indoor herb gardening during the Holidays if I can get a few days off. I have never tried this before, [...]

Ordinary Sparkling Eggs

Ok, so I’m not just showing you my breafast from yesterday just to show you my breafast from yesterday. lol
Sometimes I like to do “customer appreciation pictures” to leave with my feedback of purchases on Etsy. And since I love to photograph some of my food moments and put those in my Flickr Food Set, [...]
