lately all i think about is food and eating food.

ive always loved food and cooking.

so today, my 4 fav. pins are from my deliciousness pinboard.

(veggie fried rice)

(jalapeno popper dip)

matty and i made this for a few potluck parties. 

it was a HUGE hit and is so delicious. 

not healthy, but really easy to make!

(spicy lemon garlic shrimp)

(homemade peanut butter cups)

i really want to try to make these. 

but i am a HORRIBLE baker!

i burn cookies!!!

but...that doesnt mean i wont try!

random assortment of food. 

but it all looks so yummy!

i think its time for a snack!

edit to pin*love last week....

so last week on my pin*love post -

i posted about this camera bag that i thought i would ask for my birthday. 

clearly, i didnt do my research well enough. 

although it is a gorgeous bag, and i LOVE it, 

i found another bag that would fit with my lifestyle much better.

this lowepro passport sling camera bag is definitely for me!

when i am out and about i always have a sling/messenger bag

so that i can keep my hands free

for whatever i might need them for, 

especially when taking pictures. 


currently i just use my messenger bag/purse
which is not safe for my camera!!

this bag would allow my hands to be free, 

as well as some extra space for the other things i carry with me.

its perrrfect!

i also love the random shape.

so that is that. 

new wish!!

this week i am posting from my wish board.

i set a goal for myself and completed it yesterday. 

it is SOO exciting as i have been working towards it for a while! 

now i get to treat myself with my reward. 

so....something on my wish list is getting bought :)

and its my first pair of toms!!!!

(toms shoes)

i have heard great things about them and how comfortable they are. 

i LOVE comfortable shoes.

and i am amazed at the organization and their one for one movement.

its an excellent venture that i am proud to support, 

while getting an awesome pair of shoes!

(free people)

i would love to wear this dress to a wedding. 

its gorgeous. 

(jototes)

i think i might ask for one of these for my birthday!

currently i am awful about carrying around my nice camera in my purse 

with very little protection. 

one of these would be great as it looks like a purse, 

but gives protection to the bag!!

i also really like the sugarplum and black

(red velvet)

this would be fun to play with.

well thats it for this week's pin*love. 

it has been fun :)

its very gloomy in toronto (and most of ontario). 

the snow is melting, but we are getting tons of rain. 

the grey skies and cold temperatures are affecting everyone's mood. 

in lieu of this my pinboard of the week are places and spaces

wonderful places that will bring some happiness to my life 

(and hopefully yours!)

mexico  (source)

tulips (source)

paris (source)

greece (source)

i would love to go to mexico, greece or paris. 

dipping my toes in water, walking along sand with my barefeet

feeling the sand in my toes, splashing the water around 

and taking in the warm sunlight and amazing colours.

or wandering streets and cafes in paris, speaking a few french words

that i can vaguely remember and indulging in croissants and wine.

*sigh*

it all sounds so lovely. 

instead i will walk to my local pizza joint in the cold rain 

for a slice of comfort that comes in lots of carbs and cheese.

total deliciousness. 

are you indulging tonight?

this week i am featuring 4 of my favourite outfit pictures

from my fashionista board. 

i am dying to go shopping...

but am in $ saving mode, so its out of the question. 

instead, i will drool over things on the internet 

and pin them to my board!

i think its obvious....

all i want to wear these days are jeans and a sweater (or light jacket)

and open toed shoes or ballet flats!!

no more winter clothes please!

is that too much to ask!?

it has been a much better week around here. 

maybe that's because i only was in the office for 3 days!

we had a holiday here in canada on monday. 

and today is my compressed work day!

woop!

its been a tough week around here for me. 

ive been in a little bit of a funk. 

not sure if its the winter weather, things at work or just

one of those days (turned into a week!)

so this week's pin*love are inspiring words.
