Vancouver’s North Shore Craft Beer Week
On Friday evening I attended the launch party of Vancouver’s North Shore Craft Beer Week and it was an awesome event located at the Pipe Shop in the Shipyards in North Vancouver. There was a great turnout of breweries (some that haven’t even opened yet!) to kick things off for craft beer week. I’m not the biggest beer drinker but I was super impressed with the beers that were served up in my cute little “pint” glass. The event included live music, food trucks, five north shore breweries pouring their beers, as well as three opening-soon breweries! Breweries in attendance included: Beere Brewing Co. Black Kettle Brewing Bridge Brewing Co.…

DIY Adult Capri Sun
Remember those little silver juice boxes you used to love as a kid that were more bag than box? I’m talking about Capri Suns! I don’t know about you but these were the king of all when it came to lunchtime trading in elementary school. Not much trumped a Capri Sun. I wanted to make something fun that would take us all down memory lane for my birthday last year and remind us of the good ol’ days. So I made some DIY Capri Suns…with a twist. I bought some tall and narrow resealable bags on Amazon because they suited the shape of a Capri Sun better than a standard ziplock…

Rhubarb Syrup
*This post is from 2012 but I wanted to re-share the rhubarb love* Well, I promised you one last rhubarb recipe for the season and here it is. It’s a goodie…..worth the wait 😉 This is a super simple rhubarb syrup- perfect for adding to a gin & tonic, vodka & lemonade or your favourite cocktail.

The flavour is light and sweet with a subtle rhubarb taste, not to mention how beautiful their light pink colour is. Add sunshine + friends + good music for extra enjoyment!

‘Winter Buzz’ Bailey’s Almande Hot Chocolate
Ever since I heard about Baileys Almande last year, I had been awaiting it’s release with coffee cup (or hot chocolate mug) in hand. Lucky for me, Santy Claus brought me a nice big bottle of it – what a treat on Christmas morning. Finally! A boozy, creamy and sweet Baileys just like it’s dairy-based counterpart but made with almond milk so I can sip away with no tummy aches afterwards. Can I get a what whatttttt! Of course it’s amazing in a strong cup of coffee but it’s also great in hot chocolate. I found a beautiful vegan hot chocolate mix made on Bowen Island from Cocoa West. For…

Fruity White Wine Sangria
SANGRIA! My favourite summer cocktail to abuse on a beautiful day. I’m normally a pink or red sangria kinda girl, but on my birthday weekend in Whistler I went out of my comfort zone and gave the ol’ white sangria a try. What was I thinking!? White sangria is the bomb! Not too sweet and full of delicious summer, fruity flavour – nectarines, peaches, blueberries galore! This will make the perfect addition to any barbecue or party, or take it in a sneaky sippy cup as you float down the River of Golden Dreams! Fruit-infused white wine sangria perfect for a summer party or BBQ!
