Watermelon Margarita Popsicles

June 30, 2016

For the first time in a number of years Canada Day falls on a Friday, making the holiday that much sweeter! A long weekend to kick back, relax and celebrate this amazing country we are so privileged to call home.

And what says long weekend more than popsicles and cocktails? So why not combine them! Yes, please! These minty Watermelon Margarita Popsicles are easy and delicious. Make them kiddo friendly by simply omitting the tequila. And for double dose of fun, use them in place of ice in Watermelon Margaritas!

Cheers! Wishing you a wonderful Canada Day weekend and to my friends south of the border, Happy 4th of July!

Cherry Bourbon Cocktail

June 24, 2016

It’s Friday! You know what that means around here – cocktails! With a gloomy, rainy Friday I thought bourbon would offer the perfect cap to the week. And since it’s cherry season (my favorite time of year, as you’ll soon discover with all the cherry recipes popping up!), why not pair it with a glass full of muddled cherries, in a Cherry Bourbon Cocktail.

While I’ve come a long way with my bourbon muscle – you know trying to enjoy it without puckering my face with every sip – I still find it a bit harsh. So to truly enjoy this cocktail, I’ve added a touch of sugar and a splash of vanilla. Easy. Because Friday’s should be easy!

Rhubarb Bramble

May 27, 2016

It’s Rhubarb season and truth be told, up until recently that meant little to me. I found the vegetable to be under whelming and uninspiring. But this year I decided to cast my judgements aside and experiment with the stalk-y vegetable. And you know what? I was pleasantly surprised!

While for most, rhubarb means baking (and I may have a sweet treat to share with you in a few days 😉 ), I discovered a number of other things that can be made with rhubarb, everything from relishes, chutneys, compotes, sauces, ice creams, sorbet and my favorite Rhubarb Syrup! So easy and versatile; and absolutely perfect in this Rhubarb Bramble.
