Homemade Mint Hot Chocolate Mix
Did you know you can make instant hot chocolate powder at home instead of buying packages from the store? Well, it takes literally 10 seconds in a high power mixer, and gives you so much more creative freedom when it comes to flavours! I was gifted this Hurom High Power Blender. All opinions are my…
Yogurt Mousse with Sweet Summer Peaches
The arrival of peaches signal the end of summer. I’m using these gorgeous, plump balls of sunshine to make a sweet compote for a luscious mousse made from Greek Yogurt. Every August, the church around the corner from our house has a Peach Festival and they truck in an enormous amount of fresh peaches from…
Strawberry Rosé Sangria
This past weekend, I made Sangria instead of doing responsible adult things. I even wrote out a list on real paper of all the things I wanted to accomplish – I was ambitious. I could have weeded my garden, perhaps got my tomato plants into the ground. At the very least, book a hair appointment….
Spiced Fall Sangria
Let it be known that it’s November 27th and I’m still wearing sandals when I go outside. Yes, I get weird looks. No, I do not care. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – flip flops ’till it snows. Quite frankly, I could easily go without the white stuff. This girl does…
No Churn Brie Ice Cream with Roasted Strawberries
I recall a time in my early 20’s when I was making countless solo road trips back to Winnipeg in my two-door, white Acura Integra. Looking back, it feels like I was sleeping in my Aunty Wendy’s spare room more than in my own bed. When it came time to head home, she always made…
Margarita Jello Shots
I’m sure you’ve already heard that Cinco de Mayo isn’t a big holiday in Mexico. It’s morphed into another drinking holiday in America, which is totally fine by me. Time to bust out the tequila and lime and have a mid-week party. And what would a Mexican party be without margaritas? I’ve had quite a variety of…
Lucky Charms Pudding Shots
So it’s that time of year again when people pretend to be Irish, and drink green beer. Green beer, really? Why do people line up at pubs just to drink the same ‘ole beer but with food dye in it? I’ll never understand the hubbub of green beer, it’s overrated. You know what’s…
Matcha Green Tea Banana Ice Cream
Yay for long weekends. Booo to summer ending. How is it Labour Day weekend already? I’m clinging to summer as hard as I can. I am not ready for it to be over. Mostly because it never fully arrived this year. I really needed to make something summery, and stat! What’s more quintessential to summer than ice cream?…
Sparkling Strawberry Basil Lemonade
This is a fun and delicious spin on classic lemonade that uses ripe strawberries and fresh basil. Dare I say, summer has finally arrived? It was a rainy, gloomy June, and as I write this, several communities in Southern Saskatchewan are in a state of emergency due to heavy rains and flooding. Not quite how I hoped…
