Tatiana Hearts Food

by Tatiana on November 21, 2009

And Tatiana also hearts bookmarking recipes, then never getting around to them.

That’s all about to change though, with the launch of my new mini-blog, “It Was a Very Good Meal“.  My goal there is to start getting through the 112 recipes I have bookmarked, and document the journey along the way, to let you know which recipes on food blogs I think are worth your time and effort.

For my own recipes, I sometimes post them over at my EverythingMom.com blog — and I recently shared my “Best Ever Roast Chicken” over there.  Check it out, try it, and let me know what you think!

August 6th post

September 22, 2009

For the most part, my pregnancy has been a pleasant experience. While digging around some old stuff I’d typed up, I came across this little rant and since it made me smile, I thought I’d share it with you. This is from Week 14.

Around 7:30 last night, an earth-shattering craving struck me. Not [...]

He doesn’t actually have a golf ball for a head, but it’d be cool if he did.

June 10, 2009

After Saturday’s meet-up with other Toronto BlogHers, we went to meet Chris’ dad since he lives nearby and we hadn’t seen him in a few weeks.  We went down to the Beaches for lunch at a place with a great patio called Lion on the Beach.

This really isn’t a terribly interesting story, but since I [...]

Girl Talk Thursday 11

June 4, 2009

Girl Talk Thursday is Mommy Melee’s weekly event, and I really love participating, so here it comes: my thoughts on the topic of “Booze. Booze. Booze.”

BOOOOOOOZE.
Oh, booze.  You and I had a funny beginning.  And by funny, I mean terrifying.

You see, on my 17th birthday, I filled a travel coffee mug with Hot Damn! cinnamon [...]

Sunday Afternoon Lunch

Portabella mushroom caps were on sale at the grocery store this week, so I thought that making burgers with them would be awesome.  Here’s my first attempt:

It was a very good picnic

May 30, 2009

Today is too beautiful of a day to waste by just sitting inside, so Maia and I went out for a picnic with the dogs.
She wasn’t too sure about it at first:

But once we got there, she was really happy to look up at the tree we were sitting under:

Joss thought my sandwich looked tasty:

Also it’s even worse when the wine is bad

May 29, 2009

Some entreprenuerial spirit out there needs to invent Wine For Moms.  This would be a soda can-sized bottle, with a twist top THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND FUCK YOU CORKS, except somehow it would also include a fun bendy spirally straw for even more convenience.

Actually, I’m not a cork hater in general.  But you know, [...]

Sunday Morning Breakfast

May 17, 2009

After being awake for about an hour in the morning, Maia takes a nap.  I use that nap to make and eat breakfast.  Here’s the quick, verrry tasty dish I had today, inspired by The Amateur Gourmet:
Fried Eggs with warm Spring Asparagus, Mushroom, and Bacon Salad
Time to table: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
5 stalks of asparagus.  It’s in [...]

Girl Talk Thursday 06

April 30, 2009

Girl Talk Thursday is Mommy Melee’s weekly event, and I really love the thought, so here it comes: my thoughts on the topic of “What would you spend $50 on, guilt free?”!

My first thought was a pair of shoes.  I hate nearly every pair of shoes I own, except for my flip-flops, which fortunately I’m [...]
