Doesn’t this photo just give you all the winter feels? As I type this, big, fluffy snowflakes are falling outside and I may, or may not be listening to Christmas music with the fireplace on. Today I’m coming at you with a classic cocktail done two ways, the Bee’s Knees. This cocktail is an oldie …
While technically speaking it’s still summer, September always feels like fall to me. It also serves as reset. Back to routine, back to meal planning & prepping and back to eating healthy (you don’t want to know how much ice cream we ate this summer). I’ve always found the easiest way to make healthy eating …
A good Gin & Tonic is the epitome of a summer drink in my opinion. It’s funny, I love them, but have no real desire to drink them other than on a hot summer day. They’re just so refreshing! A Gin & Tonic is such an easy drink to make, but the key is using …
Rhubarb is one of my favourite garden treats in the summer. I just love the tart, sour taste of it and how well it works in baking. This year, I was determined to find a fun, new use for it, besides my go-to strawberry rhubarb crumble so I decided to make a rhubarb simple syrup …
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 …
