Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWith not one, but two August long weekends soon making their way into summer, we thought it was only appropriate that we celebrate the best way we know how: with a backyard BBQ! I am convinced that the summer was invented just so we could have BBQs. Is there really anything better?
Part of the essential BBQ experience (besides the delicious food) is the decor and general ambience. Lighting is...

My friend Kim recently got married. Last night as I was drifting off to sleep, I recounted the best moments of her wedding: the way she did a little dance when she put the ring on her husband’s finger, or when they twirled into the reception area, the groom accidentally stepping on her dress. The food and drinks did not disappoint. For dessert, there were juicy strawberries...Continue Reading

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basNope, we're not talking about the latest in canine couture. Today we start a new series on our backyard barbeque favorites! First up is my personal guilty pleasure: the good ol' hot dog.
I can see you shaking your head in shock, but it's true. This Chick is crushing on the euphemistically-dubbed Tube Steak. Beef frankfurters, polish kielbasa, bratwursts, and...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWater is my favourite drink. Straight up, on the rocks or as a side with my espresso, nothing beats the refreshment of water. I especially love Spa Water. First, because you are usually at the spa when you drink it. Second, I love the subtle flavours of fresh cucumber, citrus fruits, herbs and berries.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basEven if you aren't a wine lover, it's impossible not to fall in love with Napa Valley. In every direction, over rolling hills is vineyard after vineyard. Add to that Palm and Cyprus trees, a good measure of lemon and lime trees and rose bushes everywhere. It's pretty much perfection.

This got me thinking: is it actually worth buying frozen pancakes that you pop in a toaster instead of making them yourself? I can understand...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basSince the new year started, I've been making a concerned effort to treat my body better by eating healthier and exercising regularly. As anyone who's tried to get fit will tell you, it isn't easy but when you start to see your desired results, it's totally worth it.
One of my biggest issues I've had while trying to stick to a healthy diet is: what can I eat for snacks...
