Adult-Only Mocha Baileys Fudge Pop Recipe

By //  by Anne Radcliffe Leave a Comment

If you're hot, and if you like fudgsicles or iced caps, then I've got just the thing for you: My adult-only Mocha Baileys Fudge Pop Recipe. This poor little bottle of Baileys I had was sitting all forlorn like in my liquor cabinet. Usually it's waiting for winter because the only thing I ever tend to use it in is a coffee drink. Coffee drinks, of course, do not make the ideal hot summer drink (and it's supposed to be hot AF this weekend in Ontario!). After I spotted the Baileys, I …

Hibiscus Margaritas are my new favourite drink this summer thanks to a recent press trip I was on to California.  While there I had one of the best meals of my life at Santo Mezcal in Santa Barbara.  Check out this queso fundido.

O Canada Sangria – Putting the “Happy” in Canada Day

By //  by Maija Craig Leave a Comment

Celebrating #Canada150 with a backyard barbecue, long weekend camping trip or get-together with friends? Nothing says Happy Birthday Canada like this Canadian sangria made with truly Canadian ingredients (not including the lemonade, if you choose to use it). For research only, I’ve made my O Canada Sangria a few times over the last few weekends and can’t decide if I like it with or without the lemonade most. My friends are also equally divided 50-50. That means the choice is …
