One of my most favourite triliogies from when I was in highschool, was the Abhorsen trilogy. When I first read it, it of course consisted of three books: Sabriel, Lirael and Abhorsen. Since then, the fabulous Garth Nix, has released other books, not only in the Old Kingdom world, but also revisiting some of the… Continue reading Across the Wall by Garth Nix
Potato Salad
One thing I love about Summer, is the delicious Summer foods. And one food that screams Summer, BBQs and picnic lunches, to me at least, is Potato Salad. It's a bit time consuming to make (cooling the potatoes, chopping veggies), but well worth it. This Potato Salad recipe is fairly simple. I added a few… Continue reading Potato Salad

Honeybee is one of these collections that I just finished reading. The poems of this collection focus on the author's love, heartbreak and healing for a young woman,… Continue reading Honeybee by Trista Mateer
Parmesan Pesto Spaghetti Squash with Shrimp
I am the worst photographer ever! But these were delicious! These Spaghetti squash "bowls" or "boats" are easy to make, but a bit time consuming because Spaghetti squash takes a bit to prep. You're going to want to start by poking some holes into your squash with a fork and then microwaving it for at… Continue reading Parmesan Pesto Spaghetti Squash with Shrimp
Garden Chicken Pasta
This is just a simple pasta that I threw together tonight. What I like most about it is that it's adjustable to your tastes so you can add and take away things that you do or don't like. Really, this is just a guideline or starting point. My first step was to prepare my chicken… Continue reading Garden Chicken Pasta
