Celebrating 10+ years of #DoTheDaniel
I have noticed that this year I’ve been doing a lot of holiday gift shopping online. But that doesn’t mean that my love for the in person shopping experience has been dimmed. In fact, it’s probably more ignited than ever with major store openings taking place right here in Toronto. But if I had to pick just one to get you excited about, and if you need me this holiday season, this is where you’ll find me…

The Holidays are finally over, but the celebrations have continued into the new year for my family and I! Yep, our favorite time of the year isn’t over yet – when everything is all about love and sharing, reflecting on our actions, making resolutions for the year to come and of course, eating like there’s no tomorrow.

Happy Summer, friends! Don’t you just love love summer produce? Here in the UK, we miss out on the incredible bounty from Canada (oh Ontario peaches, how I long for you!) but are fortunate enough to have access to Spanish tomatoes. And the Spanish grow some incredible ones. They are such masters of growing tomatoes that they even have a food fight with them every August.
Though I hope you use yours to make this salad instead.
