Contest | Summer ready with A&W Canada’s #PicnicGuarantee

When I stop to think about the summer, there are a few activities that immediately come to mind.

As many of you who follow me on social media will have seen, I recently had the opportunity to host a picnic with A&W Canada to celebrate their new #PicnicGuarantee. Read what that means for Canadians from coast-to-coast all summer long and how you can enter to win our latest contest! Continue reading “Contest | Summer ready with A&W Canada’s #PicnicGuarantee”

Food & Wine | BBQ, Road Trip, Picnic & Summer Nights ready with the NEW #‎PCInsidersCollection‬

Now that the warmer weather has arrived, I am excited for weekends away, summer nights and roadtrips with friends. The process of planning a roadtrip isn’t like planning for a holiday. I don’t get as stressed as I do when I know there is so much for me to consider, especially if you’re going to be boarding a plane to the other side of the world and have no control over anything. But when it comes to the girl’s road trip, this is always an exciting time.

This time, I was in charge of the travel arrangements. We all felt it was best to hire a van this time, as it meant we could take more things with us. I then decided it might be worth getting van insurance, as you never know what could happen when you’re on the road for a long period of time. But we did not want to pay over the top for our insurance as we were already stretched in terms of expense for our trips. So, we decided to compare camper van insurance through various online portals. Luckily, we found a good deal on one of these sites.

While we are on the topic of road trips though, I must tell you about my plans for the rest of the summer. You see, some friends of ours own a couple of RVs so they go on road trips quite often. They have recently purchased a brand new RV from an RV dealer in NC and have promised to take me along on their next trip. I am so excited and cannot wait to check out their new RV for myself very soon!

Anyway, as for our last road trip, once our insurance was sorted, we were pretty much good to go! You’ll remember that last year Brittany brought you some delicious recipes to using the delicious #PCInsidersCollection products? (click here for her delicious cottage themed creations!).

With a whole new line of summer favourites available for Canadians, we are about to share all the ways you can fall in love with food again with President’s Choice. Continue reading “Food & Wine | BBQ, Road Trip, Picnic & Summer Nights ready with the NEW #‎PCInsidersCollection‬”

There is something so contagious about the summer months and the energy that they bring into my life. I find that I want to be outside more, I want to cook more, and I am all around just a happier person. Food is such an important part of that happiness in my life, and thanks to my friends at Avocados from Mexico, I am sharing three summer recipes that will have the whole family smiling. Because when I think about fresh food, especially as an honorary Latino now that I’m married, nothing comes to mind more than avocados!  Continue reading “Food & Wine | #avolovers rejoice!

Food & Wine | It’s time to go Yonanas with us this summer

When I think about summer, I imagine days at the beach and cold frozen treats. But I’m also very much aware that everyday I have to make smart choices with the health & expertise of Catherine to guide me. It’s why when we were introduced to Yonanas, I immediately fell in love with the idea of cool summer treats that are not only delicious, but healthy too!  Continue reading “Food & Wine | It’s time to go Yonanas with us this summer”
