Deshi Style Spicy Shepherd’s Pie

Deshi Style Spicy Shepherd’s Pie

Today, I am going to transport you to comfort food heaven. I said it. I have a soft spot for comfort foods.  They transport me to a place where I can only think about life’s small pleasures.  One such pleasure is the humble Shepherd’s pie. What’s not to love about it?  A hearty meat and vegetable filling that is as delicious as it is rich.  Stewed to perfection in a pot with an array of root veggies that can only warm up your soul.  Top that with fully pillows of mashed potatoes and bake till golden brown and delectable.  Again,…

The Tastiest Lactation Cookies Ever

The Tastiest Lactation Cookies Ever

There is a new baby in the family. YAY! My sister went and had herself the cutest baby child. Which means, there is a new hungry mouth to feed.  But as we know with new babies, it’s a huge pressure on the new mommy to produce enough milk for the baby. You should know that feeding the baby is a journey, everything is new and there is no wrong or right way to do it, you have to do what is best for you and your child.

Ombre Yogurt Pops

Summer is here and nothing says “Hello Sunshine!” like a frozen treat. Growing up we always loved any kind of frozen treat to cool off.  it was hot and we had very little patience.  A frozen treat took advantage of both.  We could eat it fast and be happy to run back outside after instant gratification.  I remember refusing to leave the store without the tri-coloured rocket Popsicle.  I loved that I got to try three different flavours all at the same time.  I was all for that. Summer wasn’t summer unless our fridge was jam-packed with frozen treats. Anecdote…

Cinnamon Ghee Cookies

Cinnamon Ghee Cookies

Recently I got invited to take part in a cookie swap.  If you know me, there are about 5 cookies I like eating. I am not what you would call a cookie person.  Ask me about doughnuts, and I will have my favorites chalked up by restaurant and flavour combos.  but with cookies, I am not so suave. I enjoy cookies, but when someone else does the baking. Therefore, when I got invited to the cookie swap, I knew I needed to bring my A-Game. After all, the other participants seemed like they knew a lot about what they were…
