Time to 'Chai' something new

Last week, I had to biggest craving for cinnamon rolls.  Something about the balance of sweet with spice just makes everything nice!  Truth be told, I haven't made cinnamon rolls since home economics class in high school, so it has been quite sometime since I tried.  Luckily, since then Pinterest has been my go to for recipes and sorts.  So I went to Pinterest and found this amazingly simple recipe for them here: Cinnamon Rolls.  Considering the lack of preparation; I think it turned out pretty well.  But here's a twist I added to this already amazing dessert-  I made a chai tea glaze to put on top!  Instead of making a homemade cream cheese frosting for it, I figured since I work at a tea salon, why not try to fuse the 2 things together?

Candy Cane Hearts?!

Ah, Valentines Day.  One of the most looked forward to holiday for a sugar fiend like me.  Candy, sweets and every form of chocolate imaginable are just at my fingertips!  My favourite part of Valentines day is the day after because of all the on sale chocolate-  I usually try to stock up enough to last me until Halloween; well lets say Easter.


Now, last year I was browsing Pinterest and found this really cool and simple way to use up any leftover candy canes from Christmas (if you had any) and turn them into a sweet Valentines day treat!

It's been a year!

Hey everyone! So as of the first day of February, I have been officially living on my own for a whole year!  Who would have thought I'd survive living on my own?  Trust me, I didn't.  Now to celebrate this, I decided to have some close friends over for dinner.  Now,  I'll tell you it is hard to try to schedule a dinner will most of friends because everyone seems to be either juggling 2 jobs or a job and school- so to make plans that work for everyone takes a lot of planning.  Luckily, I managed to pick a night that worked for everyone (Sunday night).  I did however, worked all day that Sunday so I had to make sure I had enough time after work to cook the meal.

Here's a whole Lobster tale for you.

So here is my first attempt at some sort of restaurant review.  Hopefully it's the start of something different to my blog.
