I like ice cream. A lot. Me, who is ALWAYS cold, has been known to come in from the cold and reach for a bowl of ice cream instead of a warming tea - I know...

Oh how I love caramel apples! This time of year in particular, I just love the combination of a crisp tart apple and the salty sweet goodness of caramel. I found a recipe on my guilty pleasure site Thug Kitchen, which got me thinking about the match-made-in-Heaven...

I had the pleasure recently of having lunch at Barrie's Boon Burger. It's a nice, friendly vegan burger restaurant. I really enjoyed their kale salad, and, as I often do, went home to experiment. Local, large leaf kale, while super nutritious, can sometimes be tough...
