{Lucky Loot} Wake Up & Smell The Free Coffee!

That's right Calgs! November 15th & November 28th, enjoy a nice steamy, smooth McDonald's regular coffee for free! There is no denying it. The snow is coming. That's the price we pay for living in Calgary.  Thankfully, McDonald's wants to lower that price by giving us hot, cozy caffeine for free! Don't miss out. And yes, I will send reminders the days of!

{Lucky Bakes} Ooey Gooey Peanut Butter Ganache Cupcakes

Um... there are few flavor combos in the world that I love more than chocolate and peanut butter and Marye Audet, for Baking Delights and Blisstree.com, has turned my favo-combo into a cupcake!!!!! Just thought I'd share.  I cannot wait to bake these.  This would be great for Christmas parties and a refreshing break from the traditional gingerbread, peppermint and eggnog flavors! Get the recipe here.

{Local Love} Let's Take A Stroll Down Dairy Lane!!!

Obsession of the season.....Dairy Lane! I wish I was on their patio, under a heat lamp, coffee in hand and curled up with one of their patio blankets!!! Doesn't that sound cozy?  Not only is this place so "Towny" and comfy, but the food is DELISH and the service is top notch. The hubs and I went for breakfast and devoured our food (not the most graceful when it comes to eating).  Anyway, I had the gluten free tostada and it was so fresh and fluffy.  The veggies tasted like they were just picked and chopped and the spices were perfect.  I am also obsessed with their Fratello Coffee!  It's so organic and based right here in Calgary.  Dairy Lane prides itself on using homegrown products and remaining local and it adds to the cafe's charm.  If you want to get out of the house and still have all the comforts of home make the short trip to West Hillhurst and cruise down to DairyLane.

*Local Likes* They are now open for Lunch & Dinner and serve beer and wine as well!
