Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basIf I were tasked with bringing dessert to a summer BBQ, chances are I would walk in (proudly!) with fudge oat bars from Starbucks. I have never been much of a baker. However, after watching The Pioneer Woman last weekend, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to try making what looked like the most mouth-watering dessert ever. What drew me in was the no-bake factor (obviously), but most of all the...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basOne of the best parts of great weather (besides being able to wear cute skirts and dresses), is being able to eat outdoors. A warm breeze, sunshine, a glass of wine and a delicious plate shared with friends - doesn't that sound great?
If you aren't a regular picnicker, what are you waiting for?! While dinner parties can be stuffy, a picnic is informal and intimate. It's an easy...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basLast year, I took a trip to Florida and fell madly in love with sweet tea. Similar to iced tea but with a smoother, tastier (and sweeter) finish, I couldn't get enough of the stuff that summer. This year, I wanted to kick it up a notch. How can you improve on delicious iced teas?
Um, how about a shot of somethin' somethin'?
Here are three cold tea infused cocktails for you to...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI love entertaining (and I love being entertained) during the summer months. Not only are the best foods in season, but you can get outside in the fresh air. Perfection! Of course, entertaining is always kind of a pain, amirite? I mean, who has the time, money or skills to pull together a Martha Stewart-esque festivity? Not me! Plus, when going to a BBQ or party, there are hostess gifts, presents...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basLast year around this time, I did a little infusion magic with vodka and Jolly Ranchers. It was awesome (if I do say so myself). Some 7 Up and Sprite added to the mix and I was ready to hit the BBQs with summer cocktail in hand. This time around, I'm ready to take infusion to the next level. I'm going to be experimenting with new flavours and liquors.
Want to come with me on this...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI firmly believe that adults have the right to enjoy candy just as much as kids do. I have a sweet tooth and I'm not ashamed to admit. Do you know what makes candy even better though? Booze. A candy + booze combo is seriously underrated and deserves way more attention than it gets. Also, nothing screams grown up like a boozy candy cocktail, amirite? So, here are 6 delicious candy inspired...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI love salads that are hearty enough to be a meal. You feel good after eating them and aren't hungry half an hour later. This is the salad I make when I'm in a pinch for time and want something quick and nutritious. Even if you aren't a huge tuna fan, you might still love this salad. With everything mixed together, it's not fishy at all.
Here's what you will need:
1 Can Flaked...
