The season of pumpkin spice lattes, scarfs, and changing leafs is coming!! It’s my most favourite season ever and if you’re like me you count the days until you’re back to sweaters, and other fall trend clothing. My absolute favourite spot to shop for fall is Modcloth. I have been a wholehearted supporter of the ModCloth fashion piece for years. I love the retro, yet updated, feel of their dresses, not to mention they have some pretty rocking accessories. When Chris and I got married 2 years ago, I made a ton of purchases on ModCloth. My favourite purchase was actually the yellow duck umbrella purchase I made. Read More

Happy Sunday Friends!

It’s that time of the week again, to share another tasty caesar that you absolutely need to try. This time, Chris took to the kitchen and created the ULTIMATE Summer Caesar or as he called it ‘The Summer in the City Caesar.’ It includes a whole lotta food on it. I’m thinking he just couldn’t decided what he wanted to eat for dinner so he made a little bit of everything and topped her caesar with it. Pretty simple, yet brilliantly impressive. So here’s what you’ll need to have this dinner/drink:

A Tall Glass
4 squirts of Lime juice
5 squirts of Lemon juice
10 squirts of Worcestershire sauce
Caesar Rimmer
3 squirts of Tabasco
2 shots of vodka
enough Clamato Juice to fill the rest of the glass

For the Garnish:

2 skewer sticks
half a mini pizza
1 mini slider
2 onion rings
1 pickled egg
1 dill pickle
2 baked chicken wings
1 slice of bacon
1 cherry tomato

How To:

Pour some rimmer into a small bowl *make sure your glass rim fits in the bowl first* and then pour lemon juice in another bowl. Now put the rim of your glass in the lemon juice and then the caesar rimmer. This will allow the caesar rimmer to stick to the rim of your glass
Now mix the rest of the ingredients together in your glass, adding the Clamato juice last.

For the Garnish:

Follow the cooking instructions on all those magnificent foods. Then stick them on your skewers and put them in your caesar glass
Now enjoy your dinner/drink!

Caesar Series: Smokey Scotch Caesar

Happy Sunday! I hope you guys are enjoying the wonderful and very warm weather this weekend. I know I am loving and am grateful for the fact that we have an air conditioner! Since summer is starting to feel so close, I felt like now would be a great time to share a new series I have been working on, the Caesar Series! In case you don’t know, a Caesar is the Canadian version of a Bloody Mary. Instead of tomato juice, we use Clamato juice *amazing.* It really is a Canadian classic.

Since I’m pregnant, I don’t drink any Caesar that contains alcohol, but Chris still can and I love making them for him. So the last time he asked me to make him a caesar, I pulled a scotch from his scotch cabinet and let the inspiration flow. Thus creating my Smokey Scotch Caesar!

What you’ll need:

A Tall Glass
5 squirts of Lime juice
8 squirts of Lemon juice
3 squirts of Liquid Smoke
10 squirts of Worcestershire sauce
Caesar Rimmer
3 squirts of Tabasco
1 shot or more of Laphoraig Scotch
enough Clamato Juice to fill the rest of the glass
celery stalk for garnish

How To:

Pour some rimmer into a small bowl *make sure you glass rim fits in the bowl first* and then pour lemon juice around the rim of your glass. This will allow the caesar rimmer to stick to the rim of your glass
Now mix the rest of the ingredients together in your glass, adding the Clamato juice last.
Add a pinch of caesar rimmer to the actual caesar.
Add the celery stalk and mix.
ENJOY!

There you have it. A fabulous Canadian classic with a twist. Just to note, you can use any scotch you have in your cabinet, but I recommend using Laphroaig for this caesar as it has a more peaty taste that mixes very well with the liquid smoke. Chris has taught me so much about scotch, it’s kinda scary….

When I served this to Chris, he absolutely loved it. He said it was the perfect balance of a smokey and sweet flavour, with a subtle whiskey taste. Then it was gone in the blink of an eye….
