Lime Margarita Freezies

By //  by Anne Radcliffe Leave a Comment

I'm going to save your life with Lime Margarita Freezies. Yes. These are just like Mr. Freezies, but with margaritas inside of them. (Yes. Tequila is included.) Margaritas are awesome, but you know what sucks? Making margaritas.  I know; it's not rocket surgery. But keeping around the materials, to have ice on hand, to whip out the blender... that's a pain in the arse. And sure, there's these handy little frozen cans of the mix. But if you're going to use one of those, …

Four Freezer Friendly Chicken Marinades You’ll Love

By //  by Candace Sampson 1 Comment

I can't tell you how happy I am that I made up a huge batch of these freezer friendly chicken marinades back in May. This summer has been a bit of a pisser to say the least. It has been raining pretty much non-stop since June and there's no sign of it letting up. Needless to say, when the sun makes a brief and glorious appearance, I want to be outside enjoying it, not stuck in my kitchen preparing a meal.  I'm a big believer in planning ahead for meals to save sanity (you should …

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 …

Whiskey BBQ Sausage Kabobs Make Summertime Entertaining a Breeze

By //  by Maija Craig Leave a Comment

I’m not sure how it happened, but somehow last Friday night, I found myself inviting five families over for dinner the next day. When Saturday morning rolled around I wondered what exactly am I going to feed 10 adults, three teenagers and so many kids under 10 years old that I stopped counting? According to my son, my homemade hamburgers were a must for the kids, but for the adults, I wanted to serve something a little fancier, still easy and cost-effective for the …
