My sister gave me this recipe after I devoured several slices she had freshly baked. It is simply the most delicious, easiest chocolate cake recipe ever.  Who knew flour was such an unnecessary ingredient?  You can prep this with your eyes closed in about 5 minutes.

Ingredients:
4 oz (1/2 cup) Bittersweet Chocolate
1/2 C Butter
3/4 C Sugar
3 Eggs
1/2 C Cocoa Powder

Directions:

You've been asked to a fabulous holiday party but it's a potluck and though you can chow down with the best of them, you're no Nigella when it comes to the kitchen. What's a gal with little to no culinary skills to do? Easy peasy - no cook dishes and appetizers, of course! 

They're so simple to put together, all you need to do is buy the ingredients and assemble (you can even do it at the...

This could also be called Lazy Gingerbread Cookie Recipe because I took out all of the ingredients I deemed unnecessary (yes, even the ginger) to make these as simple as possible.  Great for people with short attention spans or if toddlers are present.

Ingredients:

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 C...

We recently introduced you to heath guru Talia Chai, who gave us the low down on how to survive the temptations of holiday party season. While we'd love to down a nice tall glass of eggnog every day this season, it isn't exactly the healthiest option. So, we asked Talia to give us her favourite smoothie recipe for something delicious and nutritious. 
 
Here's what Talia had to...

The other day, I wanted to bake some buttery biscuits to pair with my dinner. Evidence that sometimes, I can pull off the homemade gourmet meals. I gathered all the ingredients and whipped them up. When I pulled them out of the oven, they were less than impressive. Small, sunken, flat and not at all raised and fluffy. Evidence that sometimes, I completely fail at homemade, gourmet meals.

I mean, I...

Last month we invited a select group of ChickAdvisor members to a VIP cooking class featuring Canadian Cheese. Not surprisingly, it was a fantastic event and everyone went home with full bellies and a stack of beautiful recipes to make at home.

Learning, prepping, tasting, feasting! For more event pictures, check out our gallery.

So we're smack dab in the middle of November and I'm in full hibernation mode. Like I mentioned last week, I am all about the cozy nights in. News alert: the outside sucks. So stay in this month and do fun indoor activities instead (game night, anyone?). Hibernation mode also makes for the perfect time to catch up on your to do list. I have few things to cross off my list this season, including a...

Is it just me or is there an amazing satisfaction in loving a recent purchase? You know when you buy something on a whim and then YOU LOVE IT and you're just like: YES! FINALLY! THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR?! 

That's a good feeling.

We asked around the office for recent buys from CA staffers. Things that fell in love with. We got some great ones:

Like I mentioned in my 'me time' essentials article, November is total hibernation mode month. I mean, going out in winter su-ucks the big one. You have to pay coat check, you can't wear your cute dresses anymore and you spend at least an hour shivering in a line up. Boo. 

Instead of going out, I'm all about staying in. Though, that doesn't mean I'm a total hermit. When winter rolls around, I...
