Today is La Chandeleur, the french holiday that we've grown to only know as Crepe Day. However, there's a lot more to it than that! It is actually a religious holiday, February 2 believed to be the day that Jesus was presented to the temple in Jerusalem. It is celebrated by the French each year through eating crepes, lighting candles, and partaking in superstitious activities while doing so! 🇫🇷🥞

Two years ago, this holiday was introduced to me by quite possibly the best French teacher on the planet, my second and fourth year French professor. 

In order to make this fit into my niche, not only did I make crepes from scratch, I actually made Crepes Suzette, crepes filled with orange butter, and flambéed with Cognac and Grand Marnier. What could honor the holiday more than making crepes and lighting them on fire? Swipe to see the flambée shot 👀

Check out my website for more on the recipe 😊

Bonne Chandeleur!

I absolutely love taking photos. I tried a different shooting location (still at home, of course) and I really like how glossy this looks! What do you think? 😍

As Valentine's Day gets closer, I'm loving a few different things: champagne, red, pink, and chocolate. I don't know why I associate these things so closely with February, but I'm assuming it's due to marketing and media exposure over the course of my entire life! Either way, it's great! 🍾🥂

Here, I have a simple cocktail: the Kir Royale. If you haven't had one before, you're missing out! Not only is it one of the easiest drinks to make, using only two ingredients and no other manipulation required, it's easy to dress it up and make it look luxurious and fancy with very little effort. The two ingredients in a Kir Royale are crème de cassis and champagne. For garnish, I typically use an amarena cherry on a pick, but here I'm just using red currants! What's your favorite drink with two ingredients or less?

Good morning and happy Saturday! 

I hope all is well with you today! Has your week been stressful and exhausting? With us going into yet another lockdown here in Ontario, it's definitely a bit discouraging. In times like these, self care is the most important thing to me. So, I'll light a candle, do a face mask, drink a glass of bubbly, and have a little treat. Definitely makes me feel better! 

If you want your own self care treat, why not enjoy it with an alcohol themed, romantic, self care package? I will have them available to order starting this week until the 10th of February, and pick up and drop off will be from the 11th to the 13 th! Stay tuned for more details and information, and enjoy my cute little gif when you swipe 🥰

If you know me, you know hot chocolate and white hot chocolate are some of my favorite things about cold weather. There is just something about the creamy richness of it that makes me feel warm, and there's a certain nostalgia there with it. ☕

As soon as I heard about the new red velvet cupcake Bailey's flavor, I wrote this recipe, and it definitely lived up to my expectations. I'll be putting the recipe up on my website later, so definitely look out for that! 🧁🍫🎄

Dessert Week: Day 2
Terry's Chocolate Orange - Reversed
This was actually really tasty, and instead of being chocolate with a hint of orange, it's orange with a hint of chocolate. I contemplated using my chocolate sauce on top, but I thought it looked beautiful just like this! 🍊🍫
