We Made Chicken in a Steam Oven

I know I’m probably not top of mind when it come to culinary arts, however I do know my way around a kitchen. Recently I filmed our first episode of a 4 part cooking series with my blog friends Garret and Sasha. We used a Steam Oven to make a roasted chicken & warm bread arugula salad. The chicken we used was 1 and 1/2 pounds and only took 50 minutes to bake. Using a steam oven cuts your cook time to also 50% of what it would be in a traditional  oven.  The finished product was golden, crisp and extremely moist. I’d never made a warm bread salad before and you’ll see how we did it in the video.  It was delicious! Roasted Chicken & Warm Bread Arugula Salad Next time we’re  using two juicer products. I’ve always wanted a juicer and it’s gonna be great for slimming down before summer!  On, now who’s hungry!?

It’s About Time Spring| 2 Day Hiatus Update!

Hey! It’s been a busy couple days as I was at the DX3 Digital Marketing conference on Wednesday and Thursday.

I’ve got some exciting news to share and I’m just waiting on the go-ahead to tell you about it.

Swimming Pool, Sunshine’s Cool, Winter Drools

I was saying yesterday how I’m really looking forward to summer and sunshine and the cottage. I found myself looking through old photos of us last night, hanging out in Muskoka, relaxing with the calm sound of nature and the lake. I’m due for a vacation. Thailand was months ago and although it was a really good time, it was the opposite of relaxing! We were on a tight media schedule and it was rare to have a couple hours alone for naps or lazing on the beach. I just want to feel that sunshine. I want to feel warm. I’ve not taken off my scarf or hat since arriving at the office and there’s a space heater beside me. This is the longest winter in 25 years and we’ve had a record number of ‘cold weather alert’ days. I try my best to stay positive and not let the weather get me down but sheesh, this is the hardest it’s been. I know months down the road I’ll look back at this and think, if you could get through this you can get through anything. It’s snowing again… <3 CASIE

Blondes Have More Fun

Omg double trouble! This weekend was pretty chill. I’m not going to talk about the Oscars or that selfie because everyone no the internet is talking about it and if you were online when it happened, you’re probably SO OVER IT. Especially the photoshopping of Rob Ford or Kevin Spacey.

Take Me Back, Back to Cali

Sean and I went to California for a week this summer, and it was SO FUN. I love the sunshine, the shops, the lifestyle by the beach. We rented a convertible and drove the Pacific Coast Highway, ate good food, worked on our tans, and spent much time at Disneyland. This cold weather does not seem to be letting up for all of us in Canada so instead of being wah wah CRYING about it, I’ll relive our summer love in LaLa Land. We stayed at the Disneyland Resort, and thanks to Disneyland and their Canadian team for the invite. It was amazing to live like a kid and experience all the fun of the most magical place on earth. Hopefully these pix brighten your day! Room service prezzie from Mickey Mouse! Surf’s up in Malibu Oh what I would give to have my feet in the sand right now Now this is love! His face vs my face lol ♥ Hollywood Saw a concert at the Hollywood Bowl Sunset in Laguna Take me back back to Cali. <3 CASIE

5 Years Ago | Subway Dance (Party) Moves

Do you remember watching this? If you’ve known me for a while, you’ll remember my little Waldo inspired outfit. Five years ago Jenie and I joined in a (silent) Subway Dance Party. Everyone with headphones, dancing to their own music joined the subway at various spots and danced the whole ride. It was so much fun. This photo cracks me up.
