About Me

Hello and welcome to Gemini Food Diaries- my blog that is all about FOOD.  My posts will range from recipes to restaurant reviews to personal and funny stories involving food as well as tips and tricks that I pick up along the way.  Basically if it has to do with food and it interests me, then I will write about it.

Here are a few interesting facts about Moi~
  • Most days, I'm the opposite of boring- with what I feel, think, and cook.  I have a very colourful imagination.  Some days, I stick to the tried and true if it's shaping up to be "that kind of day."
  • I'm a Gemini and a free spirit.  I get restless very easy and if I'm at home, that usually leads me into the kitchen with the urge to get creative.  Back in the day, if I was restless, I packed up my apartment and moved across the country- all within a 3 week span.
  • I have a slight addiction to chocolate covered coffee beans...well, chocolate and coffee covered anything to be honest.
  • To those who know me, know that I have been on Weight Watchers for a few months.  Most of the food that I post on here will be related to staying on plan but sometimes it won't be.  I'm normally pretty good at tracking what I eat, including the bad stuff.  One of the things I really like about WW is they encourage us to not deprive ourselves of the foods that we like.  As long as we stay within our additional Points Plus allowance, there is no cheating on WW.
  • I enjoy taking different classes at the gym ranging from water aerobics to yoga.  The classes help keep the gym interesting and fun and keeps me going back.
  • I'm a full time Stay at Home Mom and the kitchen has become my new canvas.  I enjoy entertaining and hosting all sorts of get togethers from play dates to perogie making parties to Mothers Day brunch.  Yes, even though I am a mother, I still enjoy cooking up a fantastic meal on Mothers Day.  I like to show off my skills.
