If you have ever stumbled upon any of my social media feeds, you will quickly come to learn that I love food and love taking pictures of it. Yes, I am one of 'those' people. I do not stand on chairs or set up tripods, but my friends and family know—picture first, eat second. I decided to attend a food photo workshop that just so happen to be located at a winery, #WINWIN ... The workshop was put on my Niagara Culinary Tours hosted at Stratus Winery in Niagara on the Lake. Our fearless …
Reinventing Mac and Cheese; Bacon Syrup Anyone?
It’s finally happening. After generations of unpronounceable ingredients resulting in hyper orange powder and a somewhat passable cheese flavor, Kraft Foods announced that they are changing ingredients in their much loved Kraft Dinner Mac and Cheese recipe.

I am a perogie purist—onions, bacon, sour cream—nothing more, nothing less. I'm not joking when I say that a …
Delicious Dairy-Free Chocolate Coffee Coconut Mousse
I love a few things in life. I love coffee, and chocolate, and...oh yes! I love my kids, and dessert, and also coconut. It's pretty easy to make me happy if a day can somehow involves all these things. We've been trying to eat a healthier diet here at my house, and since cold and flu season is upon us, that means watching our sugar intake in hopes of keeping our immunity strong.
