Obviously, being the resident CA baker, I took offence. Word to the wise: no creeping in on my territory. So, this past week, after a month or so of trash talking each other, Shannon and I decided to put our chops to the test in a bake... Continue Reading Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus bas

What drew me in was the no-bake factor (obviously), but most of all the... Continue Reading Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus bas

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... Continue Reading Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus bas
Last 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?

Last 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... Continue Reading Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus bas
