#12DaysofHygge – Day 5: Tuesday Night Supper + Recipe for White Bean & Kale Soup with Sausage
One of things that makes me feel most hygge is a small dinner party, eating family style with favourite people. I have been eating at Karen Dar Woon’s 1920’s oak table since I was 16 or 17 years old. She was one of my dance moms (referred to as Ballet Mom in this post) and is a really lovely friend…

There’s a frosty bite in the air, which means it’s officially hearty soup and stew season. With that, the next few #12DaysofHygge posts will be all about hearty food and beverage!

Creamy Yam Soup + Spelt Flour Soda Biscuits

Christmas Abroad Begins and Broccoli Stilton Soup
So it’s finally happening. I’m officially on vacation/working abroad. With my husband. For a month. 🙂 The two weeks prior to leaving were, let’s say full; both at home (packing, etc) and at work with all the corporate holiday chaos and working my tail off to finish everything before I left. And I only got partly through my holiday baking. Baking and…
