Welcome

I love cooking food and decorating spaces. I have spent many years learning and refining my skills for the things I am so passionate about. With my blog I want to share suggestions, tips and ideas with hopes to inspire you to become a savvy host and house proud yourself. I am passionate about anything food and home decor and have always thought that the two go hand in hand. My background is Italian and I get my inspirations for food from a family of great cooks. I love to experiment with old favorites and add my own touch to make it new, lighter and healthier. I love coming up with new dishes by just looking in the fridge and using up whatever is in there that day. Some of my best dinner parties were simple foods prepared with passion and the right ambiance and then share it with really great people . I would welcome any comments, ideas or questions.

There is Cool Food Truck in Newmarket

I am so excited to see so many changes that have happened in Newmarket, the lovely town in which I have been living for the past 22 years. I must say that when we moved here from Scarborough it was because my husband and I were looking for a nice and safe place to raise our family and we have never looked back. We came with 2 small kids, then had 2 more at Southlake Hospital, our 2 older kids grew up and got married and had their children at Southlake. My Father suffering from cancer passed away quietly in the same Hospital as well. We have lived in the same home and all of our kids attended the same schools.

Today like many other times I took my grandchildren to Fairy Lake to feed the geese, take a walk and a refreshing dip in the new water park that we have in the River Walk Commons. Along out journey I ran into one of those Cool Food Trucks that we see on TV all the time, I was excited because I have wrote a blog just last year covering the Food Truck Eats that came to Niagara on the Lake and to see one was so close to home means that Our cool Town of  Newmarket is doing whatever they can to bring fun and entertainment to our own back yards.

Wickedly Sinful Food truck sitting at the entrance of Fairy lake on Wednesdays and Fridays is a really nice treat. I stopped by to buy snow cones for my grandkids and met the owner Andrew Tedford and we had a very pleasent chat about his very new 14 day business and I was served by his employee Mathew a very freindly young man who is running his own snow cone business out of the same truck. I hope you all take some time to visit them and grab a bite to eat, we need to keep them around.

Watermelon Cake in 15 minutes.



I saw a picture somewhere that's where I got the idea. I wondered if it was going to be hard to do but it only took 15 min and it is a show stopper once you cut a slice I think.

All you do is cut watermelon into the shape of a cake, easy.

Whip some 35% whipping cream,
Add a touch of sugar.
Spread on the cake like you would frosting on a traditional cake.
Add fruit and refrigerate until ready to serve.

I would have liked some kiwi and raspberries and maybe some drizzle of chocolate but I didn't have any that day and I had unexpected guests over for dinner and I whipped this up in 15 min. Invent your own toppings and try this, its a great summer dessert.
