Spring officially began on March 20th. And today is April 22nd. Did it feel like a spring weekend to you? When I saw the snow falling on Saturday morning here in Toronto, I had to double check the date because it sure didn’t feel like the end of April to me! So the days of…

How to: Healthy Lunch – Peanut Noodle Salad
This past weekend Dara and I attended the first ever Food Bloggers of Canada Conference. It was the most personally and professionally satisfying conference I have ever attended.
