Hi! Thanks for stopping by. Welcome to my kitchen, or at least.. the part I can actually share with you: The Fancy Napkins blog.
Where do I start? Well, the quick version is: I am from Thunder Bay, Ontario but I now live in Minnedosa, Manitoba. I have a kinesiology degree (I do not use) from the University of Manitoba where I played soccer (go Bisons!). I love dogs, snowboarding, the sun and my family and friends (and the occasional Crown Royal and Coke). I grew up eating great homemade food (thanks to my late mother and grandmother) and to this day, love to cook and bake.. and eat! In university, I started a blog called Ginger on the Loose (Dare ya to Google it, it’s still out there in the universe in all of it’s embarrassing glory) because it was just another way to procrastinate doing all of the important things I had to do. A few years ago, my husband and number one taste tester, Ian, and I spent 6 months working in Cambridge, UK. I had a job in a small Italian cafe serving amazing coffees, desserts and pizza and I swore I would never look back. Upon our return to Canada, I worked in a couple of restaurants in Winnipeg, before we headed west to the small town of Minnedosa. I currently manage the front end in a cafe and storehouse and drink a lot of coffee.
