Photos: Milwaukee Zoo
Milwaukee Zoo Milwaukee Zoo. What a place. We’ve been to a few zoos – the Dallas Zoo, the LA Zoo and then some animal places in Las Vegas. This zoo is great. Different from other zoos, yet still just as fun. One of the best parts about this zoo – the cost is only 14.95$ a person. What? So cheap. Okay – being from Canada, I just loved these lazy grizzly bears. Not only were they adorable, but their claws – look how big they…

Recipe: Homemade Snickers
Homemade Snickers. What? Yes. I remember when I was working at Cedar Point (I worked in Camp Snoopy and the Gemini the summer of 2002) and I would walk to the back of the park before it was open to get to the rides I was working. Along the way there were these chocolate bar vending machines which served cold chocolate bars – not frozen, just cold – for a dollar. Oh man, I must have eaten about 30 cold snickers that summer. They were…

Recipe: Billionaire Bars
Billionaire bars – I have no idea where it started. All I know is that it’s a complete combination of 4 awesome treats: shortbread cookie, salted caramel, cookie dough, and chocolate ganache. There are many recipes floating around Pinterest with regards to billionaire bars, but these ones are amazing. You need to try them. I’ve yet to make them gluten free, but I hope to soon – it was hard to make them and not sneak one. Ingredients Shortbread Layer 1/2 cup of brown sugar…

Recipe: Gluten Free Enchiladas
Gluten free enchiladas – so good. Oh, and they’re meatless, so perfect on this marvellous Monday. I have an enchilada sauce, which I suggest you use in this recipe; if you don’t have time to make it, then purchase a high quality product so your tastebuds don’t suffer. We are still on vacation and the wedding on Saturday was so fun – yet I didn’t want to miss passing on this fantastic recipe. You cook and we will hit up the Milwaukee Zoo today. Sound…

Rush Gets Married
Rush Gets Married My little brother Noah, who is called Rush by his close friends, is saying “I do” this afternoon to Tiana. She is a picture perfect person – kind, generous, and real. There is a lot of physical distance between us, they live in Ontario and we live in Alberta, yet we’ve made the trip to Ontario twice before the wedding to meet Noah and Tiana as a couple. They are flat out in love. With regards to Noah, I want to share…

Sewing: Waxed Cotton Dopp Kit
Waxed Cotton Dopp Kit The perfect gift for my husband – his birthday was on Tuesday and I made this for him. The full tutorial for the kit is here: Man Travel Bag One note – I made the corners only 3 inches, so the kit would be flatter and longer. For the waxing tutorial: Waxed Cotton Tutorial Tips The main reason I waxed this bag is to keep the outside looking clean. With the inside waxed, and thus waterproofed, leaking shampoo or shaving cream…
