Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThe other day, I happened upon a tea shop right around the corner from CA HQ. I stopped and tried a white lavender tea soda. It was sweet, bubbly, refreshing and like a sparkling party in my mouth. What I mean to say is, it was super delish and I wanted more.

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?

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 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...
