So under the Best News Ever category, earlier this week The Telegraph printed an article that red wine can help you lose weight. This isn’t really blockbuster news as researchers from Boston and Indiana in the US, as well as Spain have completed separate studies on this very topic. In fact, we’ve also written about it before, but because...
It’s time to come clean and tell you all about a little something happening in our world. Erin is detoxing. No not from alcoholism, but from a very fun summer. She actually detoxes quite frequently – in January, in the spring and once again in the fall. Now is such a time. So why are...

By now, if you’ve been reading us for a while, you know we are huge fans of Ontario wine, but inevitably we get asked, “Why is it so expensive to buy Ontario wines? Especially when I can buy something for $8 from Argentina?” So we decided to take it to the pros, and let them...
Not too long ago, we told you about how much we love Sunday dinner. Getting together to whip up something delicious and recharge from a hectic week while breaking bread is a treasured routine for which we are eternally grateful. Yesterday, we broke our end-of-week tradition, and hit the kitchen for a mid-week reprieve, needing...
