Sharing Everyday Moments with Photo Art from BLACKS Photography

August 5, 2014 by Kathryn 66 Comments

There is nothing that makes me happier than capturing a great image of my boys. And often, my favourite pictures are ones I take during fleeting everyday moments. Taking a decent picture of Benjamin with the perfect smile or Zackary whizzing down the street on his bike isn’t as easy as it sounds and when I succeed in freezing one of those fleeting moments in time, I want to show it off.

Recently I had the chance to do just that by turning some of my favourite Instagram images of everyday moments into wall art and other photo products at BLACKS.CA. As I just painted and renovated my living room last year, I’m still perfecting its décor and I was so excited to have the chance to add some fun and meaningful artwork of my boys’ special moments to our walls.

I am a huge fan of organic chocolate and for years now, my all-time favourite brand has been Green & Black’s.

From simple white, milk and dark chocolate varieties to exotic choices featuring sea salt, toffee and ginger, every Green & Black’s Organic chocolate bar I’ve tried has featured a rich, distinctive flavour that’s simply irresistible. And while I love snacking on one of these decadent bars, I love cooking with them just as much!

Last spring I used Green & Black’s Organic dark chocolate to create a light and delicious Dark Chocolate Orange Raspberry Tiramisu, and it was definitely a popular recipe.

Green & Black’s Dark Choclate Orange Raspberry Tiramisu Makes a Delicious Easter Dessert

March 22, 2013 by Kathryn 215 Comments

I am an absolute huge fan of Green & Black’s Organic chocolate. In fact, when I mention my love of organic chocolate to others, Green & Black’s is the brand I’m thinking of. It has a rich, complex flavour that I find absolutely irresistible. Recently, Green & Black’s contacted me and asked me to be a part of the Green & Black’s Organic Easter Recipe Hunt and I couldn’t wait to take my love of this decadent chocolate into the kitchen. The recipes have now been posted on the Green & Black’s Canada Facebook page and one lucky recipe will be recognized as the first place winner!

I pondered different recipes for quite some time and eventually decided on a light and fruity tiramisu. Traditional Tiramisu uses flavours of coffee and rich mascarpone cheese to create quite a heavy, decadent dessert. I decided to lighten it up by using flavours of orange and raspberry blended with the rich complexity of dark chocolate.
