About Me!
Hey, hey!  I’m Nicole! and I’m living my best life on the Canadian Prairies.  I hail from Winnipeg, MB, but I’m currently putting down roots in Regina, SK.   Not only do I love to eat, but I love to cook.  I find joy in feeding people, which has earned me a reputation as a food-pusher.  So basically, I’ve turned into my Baba.
Cheese makes my heart sing, and travel makes my soul happy.  Chocolate is a necessity, and I firmly believe that you can never have enough butter….or garlic.  Don’t get me started on churros!  You can’t go wrong with deep fried dough.   I’m a momma to a sweet and wild little girly, Isla, who keeps me on my toes.

The Blog
I started this blog in 2012 as a way to chronicle my adventures in the kitchen.  My friends and co-workers were always harassing me for recipes, or asking me about good places to eat,  so I figured this was a great way to share some of my favorites with them.

On this blog, you’re going to find tried a variety of things; mostly food, with a little travel thrown in, and definitely stories about my prairie life. I’m a city slicker (I could not live more than 5 minutes from a grocery store!) but I love gettin’ outta dodge, too.   I gather inspiration everywhere I travel, and re-create my favourite flavour combinations and dishes when I get home.
