Summer parties are a big part of our lives when the warm months finally get here. Sure, my family loves winter and all the fun it has to offer, but living in Canada, we’re so ready for the warmth when it finally comes. That’s why we have as many summer parties as we can when the weather is with us. Tips for Smashing Summer Parties Because I know how much we all love having family and friends over for those warm months, I’ve put together a few tips to make your…

    Irish Showstoppers – 6 Things I Will Never Eat Again

    November 21, 2017 /

    Irish Showstoppers and food? Yes, you heard me right. Who knew Ireland was a foodie destination? I certainly did not. In fact, truth be told when I left home to travel there I had no preconceived notion of Irish food knocking my socks off. Actually I assumed the opposite and I planned to visit and enjoy the surroundings on their own. And yet, pretty quickly into my trip I was gobsmacked, happily stunned time and again, by so much great food in Ireland. I honestly had no clue. But the local food movement is strong in Ireland and that is reflected gloriously in the tastes of the food and beverages…

    19 Mojitos to Beat The Heat

    June 23, 2017 /

    It’s summer which around here means pool party. I don’t drink often, and when I do it’s the occasional social drink, mostly around the pool. My favourites are Margaritas and Mojitos. I like sweet cocktails or a simple white wine in the summer. Recently at a conference in Alabama I had a Blackberry Mojito which was divine. That got me thinking how many different types of mojitos are there? Did you know that he mojito is a classical Cuban drink? Not surprising since it is made with rum and associated with summer and warm weather. Rumour has it that Ernest Hemingway drank mojitos. Those two details alone actually make me…

    Summery Watermelon Raspberry Slushie Recipe

    July 12, 2015 /

    What could be more summery and refreshing than a watermelon slushies recipe? Well, maybe a watermelon raspberry slushie, right? Everyone loves watermelon. But the thing about watermelon is that sometimes those massive melons ripen so fast there’s not enough time to eat them by the slice. Same can be said for raspberries. We always have some in the container that turn to jam before we can eat them. So what’s a smart shopper to do? Well, take the rest of the melon before it goes to waste and chop it up to use as a refreshing crowd-pleasing beverage, like watermelon slushies. Use your raspberries too. The combination is unique and…

    Lifeway Kefir Low Fat Cultured Milk Smoothie Drink

    September 19, 2014 /

    So what exactly is Kefir? Kefir is a smooth version of drinkable yogurt packed with protein. It is essentially a cousin of yogurt with roots that go back to Europe over 2000 years ago. It is jam packed with probiotics which is why I wanted to try it. The taste is a bit tart, almost sour. It takes a bit of getting used to actually. My kids love drinkable yogurt and one of them found this strawberry flavoured cultured milk smoothie to be a bit sour. I have a sour streak, or should I say, a love of sour tasting foods so I didn’t mind that. Because I am always…
