August is coming to an end, but we think we've still got a few weeks of excellent BBQ weather left. Plus, who says there has to be a rule about when and where you have to BBQ? We say BBQ'ing is always a good idea. All year round and no matter what the weather! So when the lovely Lisa, who you might remember as the author of the Rice Pudding and Pancake Taste Offs asked if she...

It's almost my birthday (#winkwinknudgenudge) and it's Friday and it's one week 'til the Labour Day weekend. If that isn't a reason enough to celebrate and have a delicious drink, I don't know what is. Today, I've got a doozy of a drink recipe for you! It's a twist on a White Russian that I've creatively dubbed 'The Sweet White Russian' (ok, not so...

Remember the days of juice boxes, Dunkaroos and Fruit Roll Ups? If you're like me, this wasn't so much 10 years ago as it was 10 days ago. Yes, that's right. I'm an adult woman who enjoys a good juice box every now and then and I don't think there's anything wrong with that! However, I do think the rest of my lunch box may need a bit of an upgrade. I'm done with the...

Remember a little while back when The Hunger Games was being all buzzed about? Apparently I had been living under a rock, because I was most likely the last person to have not read the book. But I did promise (pinkie swears!) that I would. Well chicks, I made good on my promise and I devoured the first two books in the trilogy. I have just started the third book so it is safe to say that I am...

Have we mentioned yet that we have a wee obsession with summer BBQs? You can trust us when we say that when it comes to BBQs, we know our stuff. In fact, we even hosted our own CA staff soiree not too long ago (complete with tiki torches and all!). 

Before the summer comes to a close, we think it's time for one last major BBQ. And what better way to wrap it up then with some delicious,...

My friend Kim recently got married.  Last night as I was drifting off to sleep,  I recounted the best moments of her wedding: the way she did a little dance when she put the ring on her husband’s finger, or when they twirled into the reception area, the groom accidentally stepping on her dress. The food and drinks did not disappoint.  For dessert, there were juicy strawberries...

Nope, we're not talking about the latest in canine couture.  Today we start a new series on our backyard barbeque favorites! First up is my personal guilty pleasure: the good ol' hot dog.

I can see you shaking your head in shock, but it's true.  This Chick is crushing on the euphemistically-dubbed Tube Steak.  Beef frankfurters, polish kielbasa, bratwursts, and...

Water is my favourite drink.  Straight up, on the rocks or as a side with my espresso, nothing beats the refreshment of water.  I especially love Spa Water. First, because you are usually at the spa when you drink it.  Second, I love the subtle flavours of fresh cucumber, citrus fruits, herbs and berries. 

On my recent trip to Napa the hotel made Strawberry Cucumber water that...

I am often overwhelmed by the amount of products available at the grocery store - especially all the convenience and instant versions of things. Is it really worth taking shortcuts? Or do things always taste better when you make them from scratch?

Rice pudding is available in all sorts of forms in the grocery store. It also happens to be one of my favourite desserts. I heard that it is super easy...
