Sharing my random life is what I do best
I don’t know about you but I am ready for summer. Those hot summer evenings are perfect for sitting outside sipping a caesar cocktail. If you are asking yourself, what the heck is this caesar? Let me describe it as a Canadian Bloody Mary but better. Much better, instead of just plain tomato juice, we use clamato juice. It tastes so much better, at least in my opinion. So if you’re looking for some tasty cocktails this summer, here’s my list. Read More
There is nothing more satisfying than making your own almond butter and saving yourself a few extra dollars, am I right? Plus it’s so easy and the only ingredient you need are the almonds. That’s it! You don’t need to add sugar, or oil, or anything else unless you want to of course. It makes a healthy snack and if you’re doing any Whole 30 or Paleo diet, it’s a total win.Read More
Hello friends!
Our house is slowly getting ready for Easter. I say slowly because we are all getting over one heck of a cold…and sinus infection….not fun. Lots of antibiotics and hot water with lemon and honey. I should have bought stock in lemons and honey…Anyways today I wanted to share a recipe that has been a family favourite for years. Portuguese Sweet Bread, or as we say in our household, Massa. This bread is sweet, and tastes amazing with a little bit of butter, not to mention it smells amazing.Read More
I can’t get enough macarons. They are tiny and light and look so pretty! Plus I have a soft spot for bite-sized treats. So the other night when we searched the kitchen for something to snack on, I had a thought, why not make macarons. I had never made them before but I wanted the challenge and an excuse to get Chris to sit and watch my favourite Disney cartoon, Beauty and the Beast…for the blog of course.Read More
About once a year my husband does something that stinks up the kitchen, he pickles eggs. This week he did it again, he’s pickling eggs for St Patricks Day. Yes, I realize it’s still December but this is a three-month process…that stinks…at least in my opinion. The end result is tasty but my nose can’t do the pickling spice/vinegar smell. Chris loves it, as does most of his army buddies, so I guess it might just be me. Either way, the end result is a delicious egg that pairs well with beer. So yes, it’s the perfect snack for St. Patty’s Day.Read More
Happy day before Christmas, everyone!!! I can’t believe it’s already here. I don’t know about you, but my day is busy with preparations for tonight and tomorrow. It’s such an exciting and busy time. But I’m never too busy to make a few treats for Santa’s plate. One of my favourite recipes to make this time of year is my gingerbread cookie recipe. I have changed and perfected this recipe over the years. This is a favourite among my friends and family, it’s even requested. Although the cookies turn out really tasty, my favourite part is actually using the cool cookie cutters that I have. I mean common, look at some of the shapes I made above, Star Wars cutters, ninjabread cutters, funny gingerbread cookies etc. It’s a lot of fun. You can even get your kids to help out. I know growing up, I helped out with the Christmas baking, especially the cookies. Rolling out the dough, cutting shapes, decorating them, and then the best part, EATING THEM. So if you are looking for something to bake today with your family, and need some cookies to set out for Santa, this is the recipe for you.
