Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basEaster is one of my favourite holidays because it comes at one of the best times in the year. It's sunnier out, patio season starts and everyone comes out of winter hibernation. Speaking of patio season, one of my favourite things to do around this time and especially at Easter, is brunch! Which, yes, I consider to be an activity.
Of course, a brunch without eggs is not a brunch at all....

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus bas6 months a go, if someone had told that I was would be writing about healthy foods and recipes, I would have advised them that aliens had indeed landed and to be careful, because one had clearly taken over my body. I've never been one to be all about the veggies yet, here I am today with a healthy snacking option and I swear, I'm not an alien. My new year resolution this year was to start...

The new season of Mad Men is upon us and with that in mind, I'm feeling particularly retro and I thought it was high time, I tried out a fancy, old school style cocktail! I'm channelling my inner Betty Draper for this drink and trying out a little something different. It's a bit more complicated than other cocktails (this ain't your regular old rum n' coke ladies) but...Continue Reading

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThe Hunger Games film is coming out in 3 days and we're crazy excited over here at ChickAdvisor. So excited in fact, that we think the 23rd should be made a national holiday, actually, an international holiday and no, we don't think that's over doing it.
In preparation for The Hunger Games, we thought it would be awesome to host a Hunger Games theme party with all the...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basSt. Patrick's Day is upon us and while the majority of people will be enjoying their Irish beer in pint form, I chose to enjoy it another way, in a cupcake!
This may sound a little crazy and I thought so too, but after trying this recipe out, I am convinced that beer cupcakes need to be a thing. The beer makes the cupcake moist but also gives it a spicier flavor. It's...

Ah, St. Patrick's Day, the holiday devoted to drinking beer, wearing green and of course, the limited time Shamrock Shake at McDonald's! Now, why should the Shamrock Shake be only available seasonally? I'm all about the minty green anytime of the year! Which is why, I devised a delicious DIY version for myself so I can enjoy this beverage...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basLike our Brazilian lemonade, lemon squares are typically a dessert that you might find at a summer picnic, not in the middle of winter. However, like the old saying goes, 'you are what you eat' so you might as well eat sunny, cheery delicious desserts, right?
Lemon squares are probably one of my favourite desserts because they are so light, tart and sweet; but dangerously so, because...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basSo, I know that lemonade is typically a summertime drink, but in the middle of winter, after the holidays have long passed and all your left with some grey weather, a bit some Brazilian lemonade is exactly what the doctor ordered! This very refreshing, tart and tasty beverage is the perfect antidote to a dull day and it's so lip-smackingly delicious you'll be craving more! The...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basLike most people, I was once intimidated by the thought of making my own bread. It's a lengthy process and (presumably) easy to flub, but I come from a long line of German women who make fantastic brrrrread from scratch all the time (and yes, it's important to roll the "r" or it doesn't count) so defeat is not an option.
This Christmas I received a stand mixer with a dough hook...

Now, back to business; because I'm still feeling all warm and gooey from all those delicious desserts I've been eating this Valentine's, I asked our local coffee...
