Happy Hour!

August 31, 2011 | No comments

During this summer we have been celebrating Happy Hour! following the awesome advise of Lynn Pardey on her book `Care and feeding of Sailing Crew’ .

Each evening when we come after work, we just relax with a glass of wine and an appetizer to enjoy the gorgeous view of Nanaimo harbor from our boat.

Last week I prepared Nachos following my motto of simple and easy. Be prepared to be asked for more because they are absolutely delicious.  Enjoy!

Oh… Nutella!

August 30, 2011 | 2 comments

Have you ever tried Nutella? If not… you should. Nutella is a hazelnut chocolate cream, absolutely delicious to just eat it from the jar!

My friend Sharon is a big fun of Nutella and icecream. So, I thought what a better way than to combine them together.  We went to visit her and Paul to their “land” home. I knew I will have to make Nutella Ice-cream for her.

I researched all over the blogs and found this extreamely easy and yummy recipe.  Enjoy!
