Happy Thanksgiving weekend to all my fellow Canadians. For all my American friends, I’ll be jealous of your turkey dinners next month 😉. Thanksgiving is one of my favourite holidays. Food is my love language and there’s nothing better than a great meal with friends and family. Give me all the turkey sandwiches, pumpkin pie …
I’ve been hearing the dreaded f-word popping up more and more lately…fall. Our mornings are starting to get crisp, the leaves are turning yellow and Starbucks released their Pumpkin Spiced Latte.

With so many variations, my girlfriend Holly, of Chandeliers and Champagne, and I decided to try our hand at making …
Summer is so close I can taste it, literally! In anticipation of my favourite season I’m launching a summer cocktail series with one of my besties, and my favourite blogger, Holly from Chandeliers and Champagne.
