My name is Carrie. I'm just turning (gasp!) 40. I live in Southern Ontario, Canada (near Toronto) with my husband and our dog. No kids. I'm always on the lookout for new recipes. I like to have quick to prepare menus for weekdays, but on weekends I have the time to make more involved dishes. We are wine lovers and have fun pairing dishes with one of our many bottles of wine. We are a vegetarian household.
