Yes, that's a poutine buffet. POUTINE!


Food and bevvies were served in team-themed tableware, of course

Speaking of tableware,...

And so to get this party started, we chatted with celebrity designer Nicole Sassaman for a few ideas. 

Bring the Inside Out
We're used to hearing "bring the outside in", but Nicole flips this around for backyard entertaining. To create...

This Valentine's Day, I decided that instead of buying an expensive gift for the BF that will surely end up unused at the back of his closet, I would make him a home cooked, delicious meal. Delicious being a relative term. In any case, I've always felt that food = love. The creation of an amazing meal with amazing ingredients, with all the effort you put into it, is an expression of your love. So...

I am not exactly what you might call "sporty" or "athletic" or "able to lift something", though I do appreciate the Olympic season. While the summer Olympics are great for getting your fill of eye candy (hello men's diving), I actually prefer the winter Olympics.

They're so simple to put together, all you need to do is buy the ingredients and assemble (you can even do it at the...

New Years Eve is always kind of a let down. I hype it up so much and when it comes down to it, it's always lame. Plus, going out is going to cost you $$$. Heading to a club? Be prepared to pay cover charge and for drinks worth a quarter their price.

This could also be called Lazy Gingerbread Cookie Recipe because I took out all of the ingredients I deemed unnecessary (yes, even the ginger) to make these as simple as possible.  Great for people with short attention spans or if toddlers are present.

Ingredients:

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 C...
