Tipsy Tuesday: Hot Toddy

Tipsy Treats Tuesday: Boozy Brownies!
So this Tuesday, my alcohol-related post is about these delicious treats! These cocoa brownies are so good! I have to say that I am generally a much bigger fan of cocoa based brownies, as I find them to be more fudgy and chocolate-y than ones that are made with...
Supper Sunday: Dinner at the Malt Shoppe!
This Sunday is a dinner I made for a girls night with my sister & friend! And I felt like going with a theme: Fast Food- but more like 50's diner style with the malt shakes! 🙂 I have to say that I'm really not a lover of fast food. I don't know if it's because I...

Wellness Wednesday:Sneaking veggies into breakfast- Pumpkin Oatmeal
I love oatmeal- apparently I always have (mom says she couldn't heap the spoon high enough for me when I was a baby). I suppose some things never change- but lately I've been ramping up my morning oats by sneakily adding some extra healthy ingredients. I am one...

DIY: Purple Dip-Dye Hair
I have never dyed my hair before, no highlights, no crazy colours, no regular colours- I have always been fairly content with my hair colour, which I would describe as a darkish brown. It's somewhat strange that I've never thought of dyeing my hair, since I do my fair...
Supper Sunday: Pretending it’s Summer with Steak!
I don't know about you all, but I am pretty much over this whole 'winter' business. I mean snow can be pretty and whatever, but I have found that the weather in Southern Ontario so far has left much to be desired. I mean an ice storm over Christmas? really? Anyways,...
