They say taste is composed of more aspects than just the flavour of the food:
With the temperatures beginning to drop, I find myself remembering how wonderful a hot bowl of soup can be. Delicious root vegetables and warming spices combine into a delectable autumn meal that definitely get my taste buds roaring!
Whether it be pumpkin, squash or apples, I can’t wait to get in the kitchen and cook them up!
A great soup needn’t be complex! Some of my favourite homemade soups are very simple to make. Who doesn’t love simple?
This weekend was a busy one. We celebrated and hosted Canadian Thanksgiving (I’m in Ontario near Toronto) as well as my husband’s birthday.

Let your body have a rest from trying to digest heavy meat. Lentils are also wonderfully light on your wallet. A great two-for-one deal.
Added to soup, cooked up into a tasty Indian spiced dahl (see pic below) or added to fresh salads…the options and taste variations are endless. Continue reading

We decided on a light pink theme (her wedding colour) with pink everything!! We made use of mason jars, home made tags and baby breath to help create a magical and romantic theme. Continue reading
