Food & Style

Burns Night is going virtual, and there are a lot of ways you can take part to toast and celebrate Scotland’s National Bard, Robbie Burns.

Whisky cocktails have become classic staples of drink culture in the last few decades, and the Penicillin may be one of the best. They’re sweet and tangy, snappy, and just a little bit spicy. And they’re only as good as the whisky you use, so that’s why I love them with Johnnie Walker Black Label.

This winter, try something sweet, creamy and delicious with Baileys Red Velvet, a twist on your favourite spirit that’s perfect in hot chocolate, as a dessert topping, or simply on ice. You can even bake with it!

For the whisky lover in your life, have I got a great early gift idea for you. For the second year in a row, Drinks by the Dram and That Boutique-Y Whisky Company teamed up for a Whisky Holiday Calendar, and it’s available now at the LCBO in Ontario.

How do you plan to “wow” your loved ones this holiday season? The perfect gift should be thoughtful and meaningful, and if you need a little help to go beyond the ordinary, I may have just the perfect suggestion.

This holiday season, if you’re looking for gift ideas, there are some incredible Indigenous artisans and businesses in Canada that have the perfect presents for the special people on your shopping list.

There is so much good we can do, and beyond the conversation that started this year, Canadians need to stand up and support Black communities as they push for change.

Fall hiking is one of my favourite things. The air is crisp, the leaves are beautiful, and a lot of trails are quieter than they are in the summer. Plus, it’s the perfect time to break in a new pair of Columbia hiking shoes.

Happy long weekend! The summer came and it’s almost gone, but if you’re out on the patio, the deck, the dock, or relaxing on your sofa this weekend, I’ve got three very tasty cocktails to spice up your day courtesy of Northern Keep Vodka.

Back to school is a little harder than usual this year, and if you don’t want to go into a store, shopping for kids definitely feels more difficult. Columbia Sportswear has made life easier this fall though with outerwear my daughter loves, a Labour Day sale, and flexible shipping and return options.
