Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThe other day I was in need of some serious comfort food. However, at the same time, I was also feeling extremely lazy. The battle of hunger vs. laziness is a constant struggle. Well, until now that is, because I've found an excellent compromise: mug meals.
Imagine getting that slice of chocolate cake that you're craving within minutes. It's possible. You can literally have your cake and eat it...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basAfter the holidays I discovered some forgotten cranberries at the bottom of my fridge. Looking over to the counter at some browning bananas, I immediately thought of my favourite loaf cake.
My husband calls this "casseroling" - combining leftovers of this and that he thinks should rather be thrown into the compost instead of a mixing bowl - but when I spy him later tonight wolfing down his third...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basOverindulging is a well known holiday tradition, right? Only, after the holidays are done, Present Alexandra is not such a fan of Past Alexandra's decision to observe that tradition. I don't know about you but I don't think I can look at another plate of turkey. Or mashed potatoes. Or stuffing. And please, don't even offer me any sort of chocolate or cake.
To help get...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus bas Sure, we can all drool over Martha Stewart's impeccable spreads and dishes. But actually making them? Um, forget it. 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...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basA moist cake outer shell with warm and gooey chocolate that oozes out? Yes, please and make I'll take three! 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

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 basSome people are gaga for donuts, others for chocolatey treats, but give me a good old fashioned pie any day of the week.
There's just one problem: I'm terrible with deciding which kind to bake. That's why when I saw this "Split Decision" pie plate, I immediately put it on my Amazon wish list and spammed my husband's email with this happy piece of Christmas gifting intel.
