// Butter & Thyme Beef Medallions

Totally unexpected, beef medallion take-homes were a must recently, changing all dinner plans. And on a whim it became all about a favourite herb and celebrating its authentic flavour with melting butter— slow-er cooking and well done in the oven delights. Of course going the 'spiffy' cast iron pan-seared route is delicious too for a medium-rare choice. This time around I wanted the deep earthy warmth of the thyme to shine, and it truly delivered as a cozy winter main on a very chilly February weekend. Definitely a repeat dish before bidding the season farewell. Easy recipe after the jump, and happy Family Day on Monday! :)

// CHANEL'S Spring-Summer 2022 Haute Couture Show

While we're all still in lovey-dovey Valentine mode :), here's to pressing the more relaxation button and enjoying CHANEL's latest Spring-Summer Haute Couture Collection as imagined by Virginie Viard. And very true to her nature, Virginie adding the element of surprize, gifted us with a horse on the runway to begin the show. Being a horse sign myself, I take my thoroughbreds! very seriously. Loving the colour, creativity, and charismatic chords by Sébastien Tellier-- Balanced perfection! #equestriannotes Expand the screen with a nice glass of wine (I won't tell 😉), cup of tea, or hot chocolate, and lose yourself for a few. Dress favourite @7:34. How about yours? Indeed, we're ready for spring.

 

 

// Mango Lime Sorbet

'Sunday-brunching at home with our bright and elevating fruits of the season: Mango Lime Sorbet, for a refreshing and lovely winter afternoon, indoors. What I love about this delicious blend is its playful versatility— enjoying the flavour as is, as a frozen smoothie for starters, or with a splash of champagne (or white wine) to mimosa-esque it, and freezing the leftovers (if) :), for a next day sorbet treat. Happy New Year! Everyone. 🥂  Recipe after the jump...

// Movie Night Rituals

It's more important than we think. We're hunkering down once again for our holidays (school's out until...?), and really excited (and I mean really really ecstatic) for our quiet tucked away downtime with all things warm and cozy, —fun, agreeable bites included. 'Waiting patiently here for my movie surprize of the night. Thanks Jan! for our soft lemon meringue puffy clouds escape. After 7 feels so-soo good. What we're watching after the jump...
