Rich & Indulgent Fettucine Alfredo Recipe
In keeping with my resolution to reduce the amount we spend on food and eating out, I did a grocery store and Shoppers Drug Mart run today. Although it would’ve been smarter to plan my menus only based on what was on sale, I had a craving for pasta and already had most of the ingredients (other than parsley, 99c, and heavy whipping cream, $4.99) at home. And so, without further ado, I present to you a very rich Fettucine Alfredo recipe. It’s delightful, but don’t indulge in this one too often, lest you need an entirely new wardrobe! 😉 Continue reading
Steak and tarragon potatoes with pink peppercorn sauce and mixed green salad
Part II of our Chef’s Plate order A few days ago, I posted Part I of our Chef’s Plate order – salmon in white wine sauce with orzo, black kale and yellow bell pepper. We had saved this meal for Valentine’s Day because steak is one of our favourites, and it doesn’t make its way … Continue reading

Breaking the Crash Cash Diet … but for good reason
Today, two weeks into our Crash Cash Diet, I whipped out my credit card for the first time and broke our cash-only rule. I know, I know, I shouldn’t have, but I had good reason to and I think you’ll agree with me. Continue reading

Lemon Butter Barramundi Fish Recipe
Barramundi, also known as Asian seabass, is an Australian white fish (or, at least, is imported from Australia.) It’s a versatile, sustainable, eco-friendly fish packed full of nutrients. Best of all, as I mentioned on Day 1 of our Crash Cash Diet, it’s also super affordable at a sale price $2.99 for 2 large fillets. … Continue reading
What you need to know about Singapore Changi Airport (SIN)
With Singapore acting as our base during our one month trip, we spent a lot of time in and out of the Singapore Changi Airport. In fact, we were there 6 times over the course of the month. Unlike the rest of the countries we visited, Singapore is very “first world”, and their airport does … Continue reading
Dining Out: Markham Sushi
It’s no secret that I am absolutely addicted to sushi. I could eat it every day for the rest of my life and not get sick of it, and my recent discovery of Jiro Dreams of Sushi, a documentary on the world’s best sushi master, has done nothing but fan the flames to the max. … Continue reading
Ravioli with garlic cream sauce recipe
I first tried this recipe when I found a package of blue crab ravioli at Costco. I haven’t seen the ravioli since, but the sauce is still delightful with other types of ravioli. Last week, cheese & spinach ravioli went on sale at my local Asian supermarket, and although I typically stick to Asian food from Asian … Continue reading
