Last month we invited a select group of ChickAdvisor members to a VIP cooking class featuring Canadian Cheese. Not surprisingly, it was a fantastic event and everyone went home with full bellies and a stack of beautiful recipes to make at home.

Learning, prepping, tasting, feasting! For more event pictures, check out our gallery.

We want to share some of that culinary wonderfulness with you...

It's Wednesday, which means that we're halfway through the week. It also means that I kinda think we have to celebrate. I mean, we made it halfway through, soooo yeah, that's a reason if I ever heard one. And what better way to celebrate than with a cocktail? 

I've really been loving cocktails lately. A well made cocktail at the end of the day? Nothing better. Of course, a fabulous glass of...

Like I mentioned in my 'me time' essentials article, November is total hibernation mode month. I mean, going out in winter su-ucks the big one. You have to pay coat check, you can't wear your cute dresses anymore and you spend at least an hour shivering in a line up. Boo. 

Instead of going out, I'm all about staying in. Though, that doesn't mean I'm a total hermit. When winter rolls around, I...

Warm and comforting; tea is the perfect drink for the dreary Fall weather we've been having. Keeping this in mind, I am all for reviving the lost art of tea parties. Yummy tea and pretty china? Yes. Good company? Yes. Scones, cookies, and those ridiculously tiny yet super fancy sandwiches? Uh, yes please! Tea parties should not be reserved for five year olds, their teddy bears and...

If I learned one truth during the recent cooking class we hosted with Dairy Farmers of Canada, it's that Cheese Makes Everything Better. Fresh crusty bread may be good on its own, but add a nice Canadian Camembert and--hot damn! Now we're talkin'.

In fact, all of the recipes we learned during the class were simple, straightforward dishes that got a major flavour and excitement injection...

You know when you cook this incredibly beautiful meal for someone and they sit down and they just look and nibble at it like a bird and you're all like, 'I JUST PUT MY BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS INTO THIS, EAT IT'? Well, this Halloween, you can finally say that literally because these cocktails and food options are both deliciously tasty yet look totally disgusting. Ranging from bloody cakes (um...

Does anyone else start planning their next Halloween costume on November 1st? I don't think I am alone here. Halloween is seriously the best. It's the perfect holiday for a gal like me who loves anything sweet and loves to play dress up. I also love a good Halloween party. It's the perfect occasion to bust out creepy knick knacks, bugs, skulls and anything black. So. Much. Fun. It's basically like...

It's October. A.K.A. Oktober. As in, Oktoberfest. As in, the holiday dedicated to all things German, Beer and Sausage related. That's my kind of holiday. I, for one, am all for beer guzzling however, I know I may be in the minority around here. 


When you imagine a 'typical beer fan', you're probably picturing some Homer Simpson-esque guy, pot bellied and balding with a big ol' mug o' beer in...

Here at CA HQ in Canada, Thanksgiving is upon us! For the chicks south of us, yes we know, we're kooky like that. But Canadian Thanksgiving happens at one of the best times of the year. The leaves have just started to turn colours and the weather is just cool enough to enjoy being outside with a nice knit sweater. It makes for the perfect background to one of the best holidays.  Good...
