Shelly’s Friday Favourites Talks Hot Kitchen Desserts

0
I’ll admit it: I’ve kind of scoffed at no-bake desserts in the past. It almost seems as though if you can’t put it in the oven, it’s not really dessert. But as I’ve discovered, some desserts don’t have to be labour intensive and time consuming to be really, really good. My kid’s all time favourite dessert actually takes less than 10 minutes to prepare, and I’d be proud to serve it to my foodie friends.

Shelly’s Friday Favourites makes the best BBQ

0
From my own experience, I can tell you that the best way to get creative with the BBQ is to use spice rubs. Spice rubs are made up of ground spices like salt, pepper, chilli pepper, and more. All you have to do is coat the meat you’re using, whether that’s beef, chicken, or ribs, with the rub and BBQ as you normally would. If done right, you’re in for a definite treat for dinner.

I recently put my house up for sale, and before I did, I took a good look at every single room in my house and added some spring-time touches to every corner. From fresh new paint to simple touches like a brand new duvet cover, I had a blast bringing life and colour into every room after a long winter inside. Here are just a few great ways to refresh your house for spring, from simple fixes to big changes.

Build a strong relationship by getting fit together

0
50 years ago people really didn’t focus on fitness, whether that be together or solo. Just watch Mad Men and you’ll see that most of their time was spent lounging around having cocktails, and the idea of exercising together for your health was a pretty bizarre idea. These days, getting fit is a big part of couple time, and exercising together is one of the major ways people build strong relationships. Here’s how you can get fit together.

Shelly’s Friday Favourites goes nuts for Nutella

0
Odds are, you’ve heard of Nutella. It’s been part of some breakfast tables for years, and when I was as young as 8, I remember watching in awe as friends ate it on their toast. My mom would never let me eat Nutella for breakfast. She thought chocolate on toast was a bit much. But Nutella isn’t a ‘chocolate’ spread at all, although it really does taste like it. If you want to start experimenting with Nutella, here are a few recipes for you to try.

Safety online: teaching your kids netiquette

Thanks how technology is evolving, things change online so fast it can be hard to keep up. New apps, new websites, and new services—they make life easier but they all require a learning curve and adjustment to the way we do things. While we’re adjusting, our kids are picking up on this stuff and running with it. They were born into an online world, and news apps and new websites are easy to pick up, easy to use, and require almost no learning curve. They just dive in and go

Shelly’s Friday Favourites goes through Disneyland withdrawal

0
It’s been just over a month since we wound up our latest trip down the West coast to California, and since that time I’ve been pondering the very harsh reality of food cravings. It’s one thing to crave a type of food you have access to, but to crave something you can only eat at a very specific place you only visit occasionally? That’s a tough one. If you’ve ever been to Disneyland, you probably understand exactly what I mean, and there’s even a name for it—Disneyland withdrawal.
