Another of the recent winter/holiday collection from DAVIDsTEA. White Cranberry Bark sounds delicious and I was hoping for a little more creamy taste. Perhaps because I just had a sample and only three of the little chocolate stars in it? So might be creamier if you buy in larger quantities. “Hooked on that decadent white […]

DavidsTea Hot Chocolate Tea Latte Recipe
Behind tea and nail polish, chocolate comes a close third so I love DAVIDsTEA Hot Chocolate tea.

Healthier Potato Leek Soup Recipe
Potato leek soup is one of my favourites. It is just so warm and comforting on a cold day – you really can’t get much better than a comforting soup when you come home on a winter day. My usual recipe however calls for butter, flour and cream and would eat away at my calorie […]
