classic tomato basil soup
Anybody who has known me for years knows that cooking was never my strong suit. To be fair, I grew up pretty spoiled with parents that were extremely good cooks, so there was little motivation to get good at it myself. But since I moved away, one of the staples that I have learned to… Continue reading classic tomato basil soup

September is the right thyme for salmon
This is one of the easiest recipes EVER but also a favourite! If you are a salmon lover you have to give this a try. Super simple, and supppeeeeer delicious. The garlic butter makes the salmon extremely tender, and then contrasted by the tart lemon and flavourful thyme and sage. Ingredients: Fresh Salmon fillets (can… Continue reading September is the right thyme for salmon

In case you may not know me (or haven't realized yet) I am pretty much as basic as they come so... of course fall is my favourite season!

– procrastination nation and the never- ending “to do” list –
Adulting isn't all it's cracked up to be. I think many of us have been feeling some added pressure with feeling motivated as normal during quarantine and as we adjust to what life is going to look like moving forward. I’ll be honest, at the beginning of this whole thing I looked at it as… Continue reading – procrastination nation and the never- ending “to do” list –

“building each other up”
We rise by lifting others. Rachel knows best, that smart woman! I’ve been giving a lot of thought to how we support one another- not just during this pandemic, but during a time in society where others need our support and love more than ever. If you’ve read any of my posts, you probably know… Continue reading “building each other up”

no, I will not nurse you back to health…
My absolute pet peeve of pickup lines though is when guys ask me if I will "nurse them back to health". That's gonna be a no from me sir. No I will not put on the inappropriate nurse costume, and wearing scrubs isn't "hot" (I'm basically in PJs though so not mad about it). Normally… Continue reading no, I will not nurse you back to health…

dating life disaster (episode 1)
So it's a nice Friday night, you're out at the bar (our second home Molly's where else), you grab your (totally unnecessary) vodka soda from the bar, and you hear "Are you Chantal?" let me tell you what goes through your head when you hear this. likely what went through my head at the time:… Continue reading dating life disaster (episode 1)
the problem with saying “all lives matter”
With everything in the media right now, it is very easy to feel discouraged and frustrated about how we treat each other- both in COVID times and outside of that. For me personally, I have removed myself from a great deal of social media lately because I've just been feeling so burnt out by everyone's… Continue reading the problem with saying “all lives matter”
cautious optimism and the “new normal”
While I’m not typically one to post on Facebook and I’ve definitely removed myself from most social media lately, this is an important one. The last couple months or so, I’ve been speaking with MPs, MPPs and other representatives about what is going on from a front line perspective for many of my front line… Continue reading cautious optimism and the “new normal”

the inevitable surge
With all that's been going on as Ontario reopens this week, there has been no lack of chatter around what this process will look like and the "inevitable surge" that will happen in the province with COVID19 cases.
