Sharing my random life is what I do best
When it comes to Canadian treats, Nanaimo bars are definitely one of my family’s favourites. The three layers of deliciousness just melted in your mouth in the most satisfying way. Since we enjoy these bars so much, I thought I would try changing it up a bit. Present to you, Maple Bacon Nanaimo Bars. A yummy twist on a classic Canadian dessert. Read More
It’s that time of year again, no not Christmas, it’s Sangria season!!! Okay, sangria is pretty much good all year round, but this one is great for those hot summer parties you’ll be hosting in your backyard this year. This sparkling wine sangria is so light tasting and refreshing and perfect for hanging out by the pool or relaxing on your deck with a good book. Read More
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
Happy Sunday Friends!
It’s that time of the week again, to share another tasty caesar that you absolutely need to try. This time, Chris took to the kitchen and created the ULTIMATE Summer Caesar or as he called it ‘The Summer in the City Caesar.’ It includes a whole lotta food on it. I’m thinking he just couldn’t decided what he wanted to eat for dinner so he made a little bit of everything and topped her caesar with it. Pretty simple, yet brilliantly impressive. So here’s what you’ll need to have this dinner/drink:

Hello Friends! I hope the summer is treating you all very kindly. It has been bloody hot on this side of the border….this may be the longest summer I ever experience…at least I have air conditioning, thank goodness. Anyways, today I want to share a drink that Chris highly enjoyed during our trip to Punta Cana.
During most of our travels, we have found it’s actually rare to find a location outside of Canada that serves caesars. Most places serve Bloody Marys but to be honest that’s not the same, at all. Chris and I are complete caesar fans, forget the tomato juice, pass us the Clamato juice and we are absolutely happy. So when Chris approached the swim-up bar at the resort we stayed in Punta Cana and saw a drink with Clamato in it, he knew he had to try it. I don’t remember what they called it but I know it satisfied Chris’ caesar craving. Every bartender there made it differently but the two main ingredients never changed beer and Clamato. So when we got home, it was time to give it a try, with a twist.
I made a trip to the local LCBO, which being in my 2nd trimester I received a lot of dirty and judgemental looks…even though I haven’t touched alcohol since before I was pregnant…anyways, I headed towards the craft beers and decided on the Innis & Gunn Irish Whiskey Cask Beer. I’ve had this beer before I was pregnant, and I actually enjoyed it. It goes down pretty smoothly and has some great flavour. You can really taste the whiskey. Chris and I highly recommend.
So if you would like to create this Beery Caesar at home, here’s what you’ll need:

Beer in a Caesar? Yes, please!
Personally, I think this is a pretty low key and awesome caesar, especially during outdoor BBQ season. I hope you enjoy the flavours!
Hello friends!
I hope you are having a wonderful Canada Day! I know Chris and I are. We have a day full of car washing, dessert eating, and park walking planned…yes I lead a very exciting life indeed. Although, as of right now it’s raining and kind of damp outside. Whatever, I still maintain it’s a great day!
So to celebrate the birth date of the great nation we live in, I decided to create a cake pudding dessert. So my house smells pretty amazing right now.
Here’s what you’ll need:
1 boxed white cake
3 drops of Red Velvet Emulsion or Red Food Colouring
2 cups of blueberries
2 1/2 cups of sliced strawberries
4 pudding mixes (i used 2 vanilla and 2 banana, you’ll also need milk for the pudding)
1 can of whipped cream
Directions:
This didn’t take me long to make at all and it’s been a BIG hit with my family! I hope you enjoy your Canada Day!
