Strawberry Mojito: Your New Favourite Summer Cocktail

by Candace Sampson

Some things just scream summer, and this drink is one of them. A Strawberry Mojito doesn’t belong in your winter cocktail rotation; it’s made for warm nights, fresh fruit, and that easygoing energy that only shows up when the temperature climbs and shoes become optional.

Get To Know the Kawarthas

by Candace Sampson

The thing about Canada is that it covers such a vast area and has so much to explore that it can be easy to miss some of the gems. Take The Kawarthas, the land of shining water, for example.

Crunchy Asian Sesame Salad

by Candace Sampson

Every time I make this Crunchy Asian Sesame Salad, I say to myself, “Self, why don’t you make this more often?!”. This salad is quite possibly my favourite green salad but since picking a favourite recipe is like picking a favourite child I remain firmly non-committal on the topic.
