Back in January I was feeling a bit sorry for myself. As I mentioned before, it was Fine Lime’s 3rd birthday, which happened to fall on a Friday and I wanted to go out and celebrate. Nothing fancy – just a few drinks and nibbles with good friends. I don’t like birthdays and I don’t [...]

Curried Blue Cheese Apple Salad
Disclosure notice: I was provided with free product by Castello cheese for the purpose of writing this post. All opinions stated within are my own. It’s really not a secret around here that I have a weakness for cheese. Any kind of cheese. Despite being lactose intolerant, I add it to everything. It just makes [...]
Multi-Cultural Green Beans (and a give away!)
I am a bit glum this week. It’s Photoshop World 2011 in Las Vegas and I had really, really hoped to be there this year. I had to miss last year and promised myself I’d make it up to me this year. But money and other commitments meant it didn’t get to happen and [...]
Rhubarb Berry Compote
Can you all stand another rhubarb post?? Last one, I promise (mainly because I’m all out of rhubarb, hehe). Rhubarb Berry Compote is one of my favourite ways to use rhubarb because you can do so many things with it, including freezing it. I put it on my Cheerios in the morning, mix it with [...]
Summer Scrambled Eggs and Hockey
Here it is, my obligatory Canucks post. I want this Stanley Cup wrapped up in four games because… it’s June. It’s summer. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan. I’ve shared season’s tickets for the last few years. I love going to games. But, it’s time for hot dogs at the ballpark and taking in [...]
Garlic Parmesan Zucchini
New Years. My body is saying “go away chocolate.” Well… no, not really. My body would never say “go away chocolate”. I think I’m genetically predisposed to have a chocolate addiction. However, I am done with the sweets and rich treats for a little while. At least a week, anyway. Something about January makes me [...]
Roasted Parmesan Asparagus
I’m sorry, I know I promised a post from Katz’s Deli, and it is still coming. The last week was a whirlwind and I haven’t even opened the file of New York photos to start post processing. Today is photo editing day so hopefully I’ll have something to show for it in the next day [...]
Sesame Green Beans & Broiled Tomatoes
I’m single so cooking, for me, is always a challenge. Most recipes aren’t designed for one so unless I’m in the mood for endless leftovers or I want to freeze stuff, I have to muck around trying to figure out how to alter the ingredient amounts. It doesn’t always work out the first few times. [...]
