July 11, 2016 by Kathryn 32 Comments

Is there anything better than a refreshing summer beverage? Whether I’m making a pitcher of fruity punch for the whole family to enjoy or a tasty weekend cocktail for myself, summer drinks are always a treat. And now, Kraft Canada has a way to make summer refreshment even easier with its new KraftHeinz Liquid Enhancers! With a variety of flavours to suit any tastes and zero calories per serving, making the perfect summer drink has never been easier!

I recently had the chance to test out the new Liquid Enhancers for myself, so I decided to whip up a fun low-calorie summer cocktail. I loved the look of the Coconut Lemonade Cocktail, but wanted to personalize it to better suit my tastes. With just a few simple ingredients, including Country Time Lemonade Liquid Enhancer, and a few minutes of time, I created a delicious Sparkling Blueberry Hard Lemonade that provided flavourful refreshment at the first sip.

Make This Creamy Salted Caramel Latte Recipe and Other Delicious Drinks with New Pure Via Stevia Liquid Sweetener-Giveaway

September 19, 2014 by Kathryn 170 Comments

As somebody that is fairly health conscious, but also shuns artificial ingredients in my food, I’ve been a fan of Pure Via sweetener since it was first introduced in Canada. This naturally sourced option is made from an extract from the leaves of the Stevia plant and provides low-calorie sweetness that doesn’t cause fluctuations in blood sugar levels.

Pure Via sweetener is available in a granulated form that I love for baking and for sweetening my coffee in the morning. But the granulated version doesn’t dissolve very well in cold beverages, so I was pretty excited when the brand new Pure Via Stevia Liquid sweetener was introduced! The liquid version of my favourite low-calorie sweetener dissolves instantly in both hot and cold liquids and comes in a handy portable bottle with a no-drip lid perfect for a busy mom.

To let people see for themselves how delicious new Pure Via Liquid is, the company developed some fabulous and delicious cold beverage recipes perfect for a hot day. While autumn may be here, Saskatchewan is still enjoying plenty of warm, sunny days so I decided to test out one of the recipes and see how I liked it. And of course, as a confirmed coffee addict, I couldn’t resist whipping up a Creamy Salted Caramel Latte! [Read more…]

Power Away Tough Stains with New Purex Plus Oxi Liquid Laundry Detergent

September 13, 2013 by Kathryn Leave a Comment

Having two boys in the house that love to be on the go means that dirty laundry is something I have to deal with all the time. And while I wish I could say that it was just my boys’ clothing that ended up filthy, the truth is my own clothes often get just as dirty as the outfits Zackary and Benjamin wear. Part of that is due to cleaning up the mess my boys make but part of it is just my own occasional clumsiness. If I manage to make it through the week without spilling coffee on myself at some point, I’m generally pretty proud!

Fortunately, I have a gorgeous new Maytag Maxima XL Steam Laundry Pair to help me deal with the mountain of laundry the boys and I create each week. But since this is my first experience with a high efficiency washer, I was at a bit of a loss when choosing a detergent for the machine. Initially, I used a laundry detergent for baby clothes since it had the low sudsing formula I needed for the machine. But it just didn’t have the cleaning power to get out tough stains and that’s an essential for me. So when I got the chance to test out new Purex plus Oxi liquid laundry detergent, I hoped it would be the detergent I had been searching for.

A few weeks ago I shared a picture of my new favourite shirt, a 007 t-shirt from the TIFF Shop, and indirectly revealed my love of all things James Bond. I’ve seen most of the movies, read all of the books and have a random collection of 007 merchandise. So when I heard about the Bond Girls collection from OPI, I knew I had to have it.

This brand new collection of six Liquid Sand nail lacquers features a textured matte finish with a sophisticated sparkle perfectly befitting any Bond girl.
