Don’t let this movie scare you away from the book – it is, quite honestly, one of the best books I have ever read. The movie just doesn’t do it justice. But I am hopeful, that given another few years, a different screen writer, another director – that they will get it right. Tanya’s Score:…
There are some things I will always spend my hard-earned cash on – no matter what. For instance – my cans of Diet Coke – those are just a no-brainer. If you ever take a peek in my cold cellar, I guarantee there is at least a case on the shelf. My eye starts to…
Another awesome recipe from my friend Cathy — she’s the mother of three, including two hungry teen boys so when it comes to delicious casseroles, she knows what she’s doing. Based on the Taco Fiesta Bubble Up Casserole found at Drizzle Me Skinny, I made a few changes and the finished result was eagerly gobbled…
Tanya’s Score: Good-and-a-half* Rated: 14A Starring: George-Michael; the Jesus; a Goonie; Julianne Moore Plot: An intimate portrait of a 50-something divorcée (Moore) as she seeks connections within her life. Tanya’s Verdict: I saw the original Chilean movie this one is based on [Gloria (2013)] five years ago and though time has passed, if memory serves…
It’s been a while since I stepped foot in a gym – nine years to be exact. And sometimes I miss it – the glorious smell of sweat delicately hanging in the air, the whir of pedals as spandex-clad women go nowhere fast and of course . . . the drama. No matter what day…
Another gem mouldering in my hand-written recipe book – origins unknown. I guess I’ve been in a pasta casserole sort of mood as of late. But hey – anything that I can throw together and forget about is a definite winner over here! Can’t say if it freezes well – we never have leftovers from…
If you enjoyed Jordan Peele’s debut horror film Get Out (2017), then my prediction is that you’ll also like this one. The first part is definitely more tense and creepy than the second part – but together it works as a whole. You may never look at your family the same after this one. Tanya’s…
A few months ago, my middle daughter asked me to read a book of hers. It was a young adult novel called Dear Evan Hansen – and up until that point in time, it wasn’t on my radar. But the fact that my kid read it and it meant so much to her that she…
I’m not sure where this recipe came from – but it’s been a part of my cooking repertoire for at least the past ten years or so. It’s a quick and easy version of beef stroganoff that I often put together in the morning, leave in the oven on a timed bake and then throw…
I am inventor of the night walk – or so I believed. The concept came to me years ago when my daughters were young. It had been a long and cold winter day and since my girls weren’t yet in school, the kids and I had spent most of the day cooped up inside. Making…
