Dinner date (oops!) at Anducci

K has never been a fan of Italian food so I was happy when he decided to go with me to Anducci's for lunch... I was really craving for pasta after talking to an Italian co worker of mine as to where is the best Italian place to try out.

We tried the Anducci's near the Lougheed Mall

Caesar Salad

House Bread... YUMMY!

POPEYE

.... a really full meal, I didn't have enough room to try their dessert.. :(

Desperately Seeking SWEETS

Now that I am finally trying my hand at working the oven and cooktop, I am always in the search for a quick recipe that makes good results....


With a simple dessert of just grilling a pineapple slice and topping it off with a caramel vanilla ice cream and finishing off with a drizzle of caramel topping.

It's as easy as 1-2-3 and satisfies my sweet tooth for the night :)

Moms Day at Swiss Chalet

It is finally another Moms Day and some sort of a deja vu came over me as I entered Swiss Chalet this year. We actually had mother's day last year at this same branch... I guess you can say that Swiss Chalet is officially our favorite Mother's Day lunch place he he!

Since it is partly my day, I decided to treat myself to the sugar treat I have been craving for...



A shared plate of Tender Ribs and Chicken... with a helping of Caesar Salad

A yummy buttery corn to fill Kimi up


Little Kimi with a long flower for mommy.... Aaaaww!


I love you little one... Words can't describe how much... but I hope you do feel it...

To my mommy...

Being Apart only makes me miss you all the more
you have shown me over and over just how reliable you are near or far

It is by being this far apart that I realize just how much having a mother near me
makes me happy each day.

I just wish you were here just a drive away...

Someone I can lean to at my most saddest...
and to share with at my my most joyous moment...

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

Ikea Cooking Essential Shopping

We went to Ikea to buy some kitchen essentials for our cooking needs. We finally decided to make use of our kitchen by cooking our everyday baon and daily eats ourselves. Now that out kitchen is not just there for display but is being use everyday, we realized just how much items were lacking. So off to Ikea for the best budgeted pots and pans as well as whisk and kitchen paraphernalia to fill up the spaces of our small kitchen.

Just by the entrance, little Kimi wanted to walk on her own and just hold on to papa's hand...

Little Kimi... Papa's little princess
Little Kimi do get hungry too...
It was a tiring day... after Ikea, we had to goo home and cook our own dinner. Welcome to real CANADIAN motherhood...
