I have a new addition to my home - something I've wanted and dreamed about for a long time. Yup, I got a VitaMix. It is AWESOME and I LOVE it. Like LOVE LOVE it. I was gifted this amazing piece of equipment by my generous parents for Christmas (thanks mom and...
A beautiful red and white salad perfect for celebrating Canada Day. It's super fast - just cut up some watermelon, slice some red onions, and chop parsley. Crumble some Greek feta cheese over top and drizzle with a little balsamic vinegar. It's refreshing and the...
