This week, I shared another simple and easy recipe over at BAKED the blog. With Old man winter a constant by our side these days, I wanted to highlight some of the "it" fruits this season...cranberries and persimmons! Have you ever had a persimmon? Don’t let their tomato-like appearance and texture turn you away, they’re a lovely sweet seasonal fruit. For this recipe, I’ve turned ripe Hachiya ...

Holiday Homemade Tea Blends + GIVEAWAY with AllClad
-This giveaway is now closed- December has arrived and with it, all the cozy holiday ‘feels’ associated with this most wonderful time of year. My heart gets especially glow-y when I hear the echo of Nat King Cole or Bing Crosby in the distance as I work away. I just love the holidays and the extra time at home with friends and loved ones!

Citrus & Ginger Root Tonic
Dare I say it? Winter is coming. I don't remember the last time I saw snow in early November along the Pacific Northwest, nor the temperature plunge so drastically (+16 down to 0) in a matter of a 48 hours. Nevertheless, it happened on the Island last week. I remember waking up, seeing the snow flakes and thinking to myself "it's time" *said in a heroic tone*. By that, I meant it was time to ...

SUNRISE CITRUS & ROOT SMOOTHIE
Has it already been a year since we set the clocks forward? It has. It means spring is just around the corner, right? Probably not for us West Coast dwellers. Spring seems further away than ever... it snowed here yesterday! This is not my most favourite time of year; it's so much more challenging to get our son to bed at a reasonable hour. Moreover, being new parents means Steve and I have lost ...
CITRUS PEAR SPARKLER
I certainly appreciate a nice glass of wine in celebration of the season. I also love fresh juice blends made to seem like they're crafted by some talented barkeep! During winter, fresh pressed juices are hard to come by in my day simply because I opt for warm and cozy meals and hot drinks to keep the chills away. However, fresh juice mocktails are a great way to keep the vitamin C intake high, ...
