Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basRemember a little while back when The Hunger Games was being all buzzed about? Apparently I had been living under a rock, because I was most likely the last person to have not read the book. But I did promise (pinkie swears!) that I would. Well chicks, I made good on my promise and I devoured the first two books in the trilogy. I have just started the third book so it is safe to say that I am...

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.
On my recent trip to Napa the hotel made Strawberry Cucumber water that...

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...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basSummer doesn't officially start for me until Starbucks starts to advertise their delicious cold coffees. That's when I know that a wave of sunshine and warm weather is about to hit! Nothing says summer, like a day at the beach with an iced coffee. You may not realize it, but cold coffees are very easy to make yourself and taste just as good. Or, in this case, even better.
That's...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basBefore we get into this recipe I need to tell you, I am super, duper excited about this one. And I only use the term "super duper" when I am seriously pumped up about something so you know this one is going to be good.
I came across the idea for a marshmallow milkshake over here and I immediately dropped everything I was doing and ran out to the grocery store to buy all the necessities. I...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThe only thing better than a margarita in the spring or summer months, is a margarita in a jar. My reasons are threefold; reason 1: It's in a jar, so it's fun. Reason 2: They can be prepped ahead of time, put in freezer and are ready to go when you need them. Reason 3: You can say it's a 'jargarita'.
I stumbled upon this 'jargarita' recipe on this blog and I when I...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basSangria is one of the best summer drinks. Ever. In the history of the world. I challenge anyone who says otherwise to a sangria drink off. My theory on why sangria is so delicious is such: it contains everything awesome in the world in one drink. There's wine, fruit juices, fresh fruits, sugar and sparkling sodas. Have you ever drank a pitcher on a hot, sunny day? That right there, is pure...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThis past Easter weekend, the sun was shining and I was feeling the spring weather. My family gathered together for our traditional Easter dinner and my mother, who is not usually the Martha Stewart type (unless she is reading this, which in that case I have to say that Martha Stewart actually calls her for advice), made these fabulous sour cherry and processo cocktails for everyone. It was the...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThis is a naughty Easter(ish) drink I invented. Since the kiddies are going to be eating lots of chocolate this weekend, there should be something for the adults too. It was inspired by the Cottontail Punch in the Spring 2012 issue of Food and Drink (p.127), but that one called for butterscotch liqueur, which I don't like and there wasn't any chocolate. ...

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
