I hope you all had great holidays and fun New Year’s celebrations! I had a great Christmas, spent in Whistler with my family and my boyfriend. It snowed the whole time, and I gave snowboarding a go.

When I saw this recipe over at France’s Beyond the Peel, I knew I would have to make it! I love that it uses wholegrain flour, has honey in the icing, and 3 whole cups of zucchini! Not to mention the chocolate and espresso combination has to be one of my favourites!

It seems that when it comes to mushrooms, you either love ‘em or hate ‘em. I think they’re great- healthy, tasty, meaty, and full of earthy flavour. I am always reminded of my friend Erika when I think of mushrooms. Erika avoids mushrooms with the intensity of someone trying to avoid catching a horrible disease. We always recall my 10th birthday party when all of my friends were at my house and ready to go to wherever it was we were going- except Erika. We phoned her and phoned her …
