fun morning (yesterday) on @chch_morninglive ~ shared a few kitchen tips & tricks (and the cutest spring/Easter inspired vase🍫🌷) with @timbolen…AND finally met @kathybuckworth IN PERSON!!!

Side note: when I was deciding what to wear for yesterday’s segment ~ I literally heard my (late) mom’s *Irish* voice say: ‘love, wear the green, you look lovely in that colour’ - and I thought to myself: green it is, after a stressful few days, I need all the ‘luck’ I can get….and wouldn’t you know, not only did Kathy & I coordinate…she was talking about her recent trip to Ireland (and how to plan a historical trip with kids/grandchildren)!! What are the chances?!?!✨😭☘️💚💫

Kathy & I have been insta pals for a few years (and I’ve been a guest on her radio show #GoToGrandma on @zoomer_radio ) but we had never met in person until yesterday!!☺️👯‍♀️☘️

Find my full segment link in bio - and more kitchen tips & tricks (that I did not get to on air) in story highlights. That’s all for now…Happy Friday all!!!

So darn excited (and proud) to share the news: ‘In Char’s Kitchen Syrian Edition’ coming soon to @yourtvmuskoka on @cogeco 📺

What a thrill to learn so much about another culture (through food/cooking) and have the opportunity/platform & privilege to share it with others. Beyond grateful. Stay tuned!!
