The Best Way To Get Your Ski Legs Back, Is To Go Down The Hill!
I got coerced into my first ski of the season yesterday and it was amazing. Fresh powder, good visibility and with my hot pockets stuffed into my gloves and boots, it wasn’t even that cold! My first run of the day had to be my favourite twisty, turny moguley run right under the […]

Curry Chicken and Veg – From the Freezer to the Crockpot
What a wonderful idea for the busy cook! This crock pot dish is easily prepared and stored in the freezer until you need it. The recipe can certainly be modified to suit your families needs, but here’s what I did: RECIPE: 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced 1 zucchini, chopped 1 onion, chopped 1 small […]
