And yes, Pinterest does provide us with endless inspirational photos, but I think those are usually best left to the professionals. Besides, who's got time for all that fancy pants business during the holidays?
What's a less-than-Martha type of chick to do...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWhen you get asked to come by for a personal mixology lesson at a downtown restaurant and local, you whole heartedly say: 'Yes! A thousand times, yes!'. So obviously when local hot spot Brassaii asked us to do exactly that, we went on over immediately to see what they had in store for us.
They did not disappoint. Brassaii's mixologist, Simon Desilva-Naimji was on hand to show...

Here is why I love lava cakes: they combine two delicious desserts in one and while each on it's own is pretty darn good, together it's like a decadent explosion of flavour in your mouth. I rarely actually get the chance to make them though. So when Lisa, of Rice Pudding and

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basYou should all know by now that I enjoy sipping a cocktail or two during the holiday season. I'm not picky either, I don't play favourites with my drinks. I'm a fan of wine, beer and have been known to even enjoy a glass of whiskey now and again.
I shouldn't just say 'sipping', because I'm also a big fan of eating my drinks too. Confused? Well, a quick look at...

When the news hit that Hostess would be going out of business, we all collectively freaked out. And by 'we' I mean, myself and maybe a few other people. I like to believe I was justified in my freak out. Afterall, had Hostess gone under there would be no Twinkies left in the world! No. Twinkies. Left.
Thankfully though, it was announced that the...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI know it's not exactly lady like, but I'm a big fan of whisky. Sure, it's kind of an 'old grandpa' drink, but I like to think I look classically sophisticated drinking it. In any case, though you may not know it, whisky actually makes a mean cocktail and there's no reason to shy away from it!
We were recently introduced to these two cocktails made with a vanilla...

Normally, when you hear the words 'holiday' and 'cocktail' together, it's usually after words like Irish cream or eggnog. It's not often that you hear beer and holiday cocktail together in the same sentence. Beer isn't a traditional cocktail ingredient at all. So imagine my surprise when I tasted one at...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI love giving homemade gifts. A thoughtful gift that you've made yourself is so sweet! However, DIY'ing for an entire list of people can be tiring and can get costly. I found an easy gift for the holidays that takes just a few minutes to put together and can be done up with a few accessories to make cute packaging.
Here are the steps to creating a homemade tea for a DIY gift! I am...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basYou may already know that I'm a huge snack fiend. I love my munchies while at work, on the go or just lazing about at home. And speaking of lazing about, you may already know that when it comes to food and cooking, I can be a bit (ok, a lot) lazy when I'm making a meal for one. It's so easy for me to just go to the coffee shop, eat a processed snack or if I'm feeling especially...
