I’ve had a love for all things Italian for a long as I can remember. It’s my favourite country to visit. The history, architecture, beaches, city life, food and drinks; it just can’t be beat. Enjoying an Aperol Spritz in Rome There’s no drink, in my opinion, that has as strong a claim to being “Italy’s …
I’ve always found it amusing that there’s a day for just about everything. Today happens to be National Piña Colada Day, and coincidentally enough it’s a beautiful, warm day in Edmonton, perfect for this delicious blended summer drink! Curious about the origins of the Piña Colada, I did a bit of research and found out …
There’s few things more reminiscent of summer than fresh, juicy watermelon. It’s the perfect treat on a hot day. I had a giant watermelon at home needing to be used and figured I’d try my hand at adding an adult twist to this childhood favourite. Did you know that watermelon’s are 92% water and full …
Lilacs are one of my favourite spring flowers. They have the most incredible scent and make such a beautiful, full bouquet. I’m lucky my mom has two trees in her yard that I get to raid as much as I want! Unknown to a lot of people is the fact that lilac blossoms are actually …
Easter is definitely not going to be normal this year. Corona Virus social distancing measures mean we won’t be having a big family dinner. There will be no community egg hunts and no cute Easter Bunny photos. There’s plenty we can do to make it special for our kids though and one of those things …
How’s everyone doing? Hope you’re staying home and staying safe ❤️. This social distancing stuff is weird; it’s so opposite of my general nature, I thrive on being busy and social. I’m not going to lie, this isn’t easy, but I know it’s necessary and so we’ve stayed home for the last three weeks or …
Well, we’re on week three of laying low and staying home over here. I’m grateful that everyone in our family is healthy and safe and that we can do our part to help flatten the curve–this pandemic is scary stuff. Being at home 24/7 means snacks are flying off the shelves over here. Pretty sure …
It probably shows my age that all I can think to write right now is “my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, and they’re like, it’s better than yours, damn right, it’s better than yours.” I’ve got to say though, the addition of booze to a mint chocolate chip milkshake probably does make …
If I think Spring thoughts, and drink Spring drinks, will that magically make Spring appear in Edmonton? Probably not, but this cocktail is so good I don’t even care that it snowed this weekend…again. I’ve been wanting to make a honey-based cocktail for awhile now, so I was excited to partner up with the Edmonton …
While the practical side of me knows that we’ve got another month or two of winter left, the optimist in me sees a couple days of above zero temperatures and a bit of melting snow and breaks out the jean jacket and spring drinks. We’re in a bit of a warm spell here in Edmonton, …
