The most recent issue of Cabo Living magazine has another restaurant feature that was fun to write The unique offerings at Cool Beans in San Jose del Cabo evoke a feel-good 70s vibe, exactly what the owner was looking for when Angel Stoughton brought her diner-style restaurant experience to Los Cabos.

My work for Cabo Living magazine included the chance to write about some unique restaurants for the Summer/Fall edition, which has just been published. La Tuna in San Jose del Cabo honours local traditions combined with the chef's own influences. The margaritas are great too! Here's the article on the family behind this hot new... Continue Reading →
Baja Pioneers
Dinner at Cascadas Beach Grill is always a highlight! Club Cascadas de Baja has always struck me as a true original: the unique design, the intimate size, the cozy comfort, and the friendly staff all make it a welcoming environment. While I have never had the pleasure of staying at Club Cascadas, I often wander... Continue Reading →
Doin’ the Cabo Wabo

Love to Garden: Mushrooms
I love the process of growing the vegetables in my garden, or flowers in the yard.

They take customers on tours and fishing expeditions on Lake Diefenbaker, and we were fortunate to be... Continue Reading →
“Impossible” Cheeseburger Pie
A friend's daughter recently graduated from high school, and the friend asked for recipes for her "college survival kit." I dug out this recipe of my mother's because it's an easy and tasty supper dish, and great for a student because it would give her several portions at a reasonable cost. The Bisquick holds the...

Doukhobor Borscht
There’s something special about homemade soup, especially when it’s made with fresh garden vegetables. My friend Cheryl introduced me to this variation on borscht that I had never experienced before. She made such a delicious batch, I had to get the recipe and try it at home. I’m not sure my version was as good... Continue Reading →
