One of the wonderful delights of living in Cabo San Lucas is the abundance of fresh fish and seafood. Almost every restaurant offers some selection of fish caught that day (catch-of-the-day), and other locally caught delights like shrimp, calamari, lobster, octopus, scallops…the list goes on. We have enjoyed dining out and sampling these different delicacies,... Continue Reading →
We've all had those days when we're at a loss at suppertime - don't know what to make, don't have anything thawed from the freezer, or don't have time to make a traditional supper meal.

This is a little different than what we are used to at home, but wow! It was... Continue Reading →

To start the day, the coffee is outstanding. People who don’t like strong coffee may not be too... Continue Reading →
One of my favourite delights of fall is making borscht with fresh vegetables. In recent years, I would visit the farmers' market and the butcher to get what I needed. This year, I was able to make this soup with my own harvest and the generosity of some neighbours. Borscht is made many different ways.... Continue Reading →

If you're looking for a quick fix for a cabbage roll craving, this recipe is a nice replacement. I searched out a couple... Continue Reading →
This summer, the cucumber plants in my garden have absolutely flourished. We have eaten cucumber salads, cucumbers in salads, and just sliced cucumbers with salt and pepper. Not to complain, but we were starting to get a little tired of eating one or two cucumbers a day. So, I dug out my old refrigerator... Continue Reading →
