2016 nostalgia is trendingโ€ฆ so here we are!

Thinking back, it was a turning point and here's why!

I was on maternity leave with my second daughter, and right before I was supposed to return to work, I was laid off from my longโ€‘standing corporate job where I had thrived for 10+ years!

I still think they were jerks, but honestly, that moment became the start of something new. Later that year, I auditioned and landed the TV host gig for ๐Ÿ™Œ

Maryโ€™s Happy Belly (MHB) officially started in 2014, but 2016 was eventful. Every experience that year was meaningful โ€” and so have the last ten, especially meeting an incredible food and travel community.

โžก๏ธ Swipe right for some highlights from 2016:

House projects on a budget! Are you tackling any home updates this year?

We did most of our big renos a few years back โ€” kitchen, fireplace mantel, the works โ€” so now weโ€™re slowing down and taking on one small project at a time.

โžก๏ธ Swipe to see the before & after of our latest miniโ€‘makeover.

โœจ๏ธBEFORE:
We had an awkward little space beside our coffee bar and the back door. With multiple coffee machines (Nespresso + espresso), everything sat on a short brown table that didnโ€™t match the coffee bar at all.

The wall above it was also completely empty, and we didnโ€™t want to add more storage units.

๐Ÿ†AFTER:
Instead of getting another custom cabinet made, we went with the KALLAX Shelf and added drawer inserts, a wine insert, and a glass door โ€” all for under $200 taxโ€‘in.

It gives the space so much more continuity, and now I can display my tea cups and wine bottles.

Above it, we waited for a sale and picked up the Kelin Round Wall Shelf from for $200.

We styled it with a few of their decor pieces (the glass birds are my favourite!) plus some meaningful gifts weโ€™ve received over the years.

When your sisters are your best friends. Are you close to your family too? โค๏ธ

Sheโ€™s a world traveller ๐ŸŒŽโœˆ๏ธ, a wicked home cook, successful, boss wonan, downโ€‘toโ€‘earth, smart, funny, and loved by everyone who knows her. Wishing her all the best today and always!

Love this photo of us from my blonde era. Should I lighten my hair again?

Happy 10 year Anniversary to Mary's Happy Belly! ๐ŸŽ‰

The photo is during our walking tour in Parma, Italy. Parma is famous for Parmigiano Reggiano and Prosciutto ๐Ÿ˜‹

I'm here on a week long trip to Italy on a press trip with with a small group.

This trip is a total dream, a pinch me moment and the icing on the cake in this food journey.

โœด๏ธ Biggest advice I have with any passion is don't overthink it and get started!

โœด๏ธ I appreciate every opportunity and am still learning. The best thing through this journey is all the connections, friendships I've made and the ongoing support โค๏ธ

Follow along here and on my stories this week. I will be going on educational flour tours, 4 different cities, and enjoying incredible food, cheese and ๐Ÿท

What is your favourite memory of Italy or what city do you want to.visit in ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น?

*๐Ÿ“บ TV Segment link in profile or DM me for the link.

What a blast and an honour to be back as a culinary expert with the very talented and beautiful hosts &. To have them taste my food means a lot!

The segment was on COST-SAVING CANNED FOOD DISHES. All dishes are less than $10 and can serve 4 people (I make these dishes for my family!)

I hope you will be inspired to make the dishes as well
including
๐Ÿ”ธ๏ธShakshuka using canned whole tomatoes.
๐Ÿ”ธ๏ธCorned Beef Burritos! These are sooo good and I may do a video on this soon.
๐Ÿ”ธ๏ธTuna Rice Balls with Nori!

AND how did I get so lucky in life?!!

โžก๏ธ SWIPE RIGHT to be surrounded by really supportive family and friends who are my cheerleaders, who took a day off for me, and all of you who watched from home ๐Ÿ™

I want to thank all my supporters, all of you, as you are part of my culinary journey over the years and cheering me on when these opportunities come โค๏ธ

TV segments are a lot of work and it takes time to develop recipes, prep the food, let alone figure out what to wear. I was still debating what to wear at 8pm the night before! ๐Ÿ˜‚

It really takes a team to make the day happen. My husband had to take the day off to watch the kids, my mom had to come to the studio early to help me out, and I have a demanding FT corporate job. One of the reasons why I can only handle 1 a year for now.

The producers, stylist, makeup artist at the are top notch and I am truly thankful to be part of their day.

My โค๏ธ is full!
