Boozy Popsicles

We celebrated the end of the school year last night with a Mexican spread. Spicy beef enchiladas, crisp salad, sweet lime dressing, chocolatey ice cream sundaes and tangy margarita popsicles. That's right...school's out for summer and mama's celebrating with her own little treat.

I've decided that boozy popsicles are going to be my thing this summer. Sort of the perfect serving size, I'm swapping these traditional sweet treats for the intoxicant kind!  Feel free to use your favourite slushy or regular margarita mixture and freeze as you would any other popsicle concoctions. If margaritas aren't your drink of choice, here are some other adult-friendly popsicles you might be interested in. 

Cheers to summer vacation!  We can't let the kids have all the fun, can we?

PS - I used this margarita recipe and thought the inclusion of cucumber was brilliant.

S'more on a Stick Jackson came to me last week with one simple request: could I please make s'mores for his end-of-year class party? No easy task I tell you, with the absence of both fire and heat in the grade 2 classroom, but I was up for the challenge. I put my thinking cap on and decided to make a deconstructed version of our favourite campfire snack. Think skewered gooey marshmallows dipped in sweet, dark chocolate and rolled in a graham cracker crumbs. Perfect for little hands to manage, I thought the lollipop version of these treats would be much appreciated by the teacher who wouldn't have to clean a slew of sticky fingers. Oh, and did I mention how incredibly easy these are? When making this kind of concoction at 11pm, one generally does look for the easiest method possible. I did attempt this in true Jan-style by making homemade marshmallows first,...

O Canada Fun: A Story in Photos Every July 1st Rob and I host a Canada Day barbecue for our family and friends. As our group has grown, we've moved to a potluck-style event in order to make things a little more manageable. This year we provided chimichurri chicken, sausages, cornbread, watermelon and feta salad and a make-your-own sundae bar complete with vanilla and chocolate ice creams, fudge sauce, caramel sauce, whipped cream, strawberries, bananas, blueberries, peanuts, chocolate chips and sprinkles. Our loved ones supplemented the meal with an assortment of sides: coleslaw, pasta salad, potato salad, corn-on-the-cob and Asian noodle salad. The best part about these gatherings - aside from the good food - is seeing all of the cousins enjoy each other's company. From making sundaes to learning to shuck corn and marshmallow roasting to devising new modes of transportation by attaching a sled to a skateboard, they just have so much fun together and...
