Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basNew 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. Your best bet is have a few close gals and guys over, spruce up the place to get the atmosphere right, pump the jams and get down to having fun.

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...

While we'd love to down a nice tall glass of eggnog every day this season, it isn't exactly the healthiest option. So, we asked Talia to give us her favourite smoothie recipe for something delicious and nutritious.
Here's what Talia had to...

Which got us thinking about our own holiday parties and how we were going to bring some personality and flavour to the season.

I mean, I...

I love bringing people together, having a laugh or two and sharing a fabulous meal. A few years ago, we hosted an awesome cookie exchange party. This year, I'm feeling a little grown up and I think a retro dinner party is in order.
Part of what makes the perfect dinner party is having the perfect table...
