After work today, I met up with a friend for a late lunch at one of our favourite places, Burgoo. We were deciding on drinks, and our server suggested strawberry lemonade. It was the perfect drink for a perfect spring afternoon. And especially perfect alongside a pair of gooey cheese grillers, more commonly known as…

Officially Spring
Spring officially started a few days ago, and today is a beautiful affirmation: the sun is shining, the sky is blue, and the crocuses are out of hiding. Too bad it’s freezing. Stella and I had still had a great walk with my mom at Trout Lake early this morning though, and afterward, we stopped…
Yolk’s Chicken & Waffles
Ever since my friend and I paid LA’s Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles a visit a few years ago, I haven’t been able to kill my craving for the crispy, salty fried chicken and the buckwheat waffle doused in maple syrup alongside it. Sadly, Vancouver doesn’t really have chicken & waffles that are up to par,…
Surprise on Industrial Ave.
Who knew that amid warehouses and loading docks would sit one of the best places for dessert? Beta5 Chocolates has quickly become one of my favourite places for all things chocolate, sweet, and baked. Not only do their products taste amazing, they are unique and unexpected. First, the creampuffs: perfectly baked choux puffs, filled…
A Beignet kind of Day
Beignets are one of my absolute favourite things – light, fluffy pillows of fried dough smothered in powdered sugar. What’s not to like?

Colour me Happy
Earlier today some friends took us to a newly-opened pet store in Kitsilano called My Furry Friend’s Pet Store. So much colour, so much happy.
Family, friends, and food
Today was a beautiful day; the weather channel had forecasted rain, but Mother Nature clearly had other plans, so instead of a wet walk through Lynn Canyon, we took Stella to Vanier Park which has a great dog beach. Stella loves the water…but swimming isn’t quite her forte so I have to keep a pretty…
Chilly Goodness
Today was another beautiful and atypical Vancouver winter morning, so I took Stella to Trout Lake. It’s one of her favourite places, there are lots of dogs and people to say hi to. And I love it because it’s only a few minutes from the Woodland Smokehouse & Commissary, where Peckinpah (Carolina-style barbeque) smokes their…
A Rainy Day Off in Instagrams
Lazy morning. Petsmart visit. Sushi to-go. A little baking. Abandoned toys. Because after lunch, it’s nap time.
