Loved creating the Amarula Gingerbread Chai Latte with Amarula and the Food Bloggers of Canada - head to this post to see my recipe and other great ideas from talented Canadian food bloggers!

It was a pleasure returning to CTV Morning Live Atlantic last week to whip up these last-minute #newyearseve appetizers that are ready in 20 minutes or less. Get the recipe on the blog: http://tasteandtipple.ca/crostini-three-ways/

Day 24 of the Let’s Get Blitzen: Cocktail Advent Calendar - Cardinal. I may have saved the best for last with this dynamic take on the classic Negroni. http://tasteandtipple.ca/cardinal/

Day 23 of the Let’s Get Blitzen: Cocktail Advent Calendar - Reindeer Games. If you’ve been going too hard on the holiday baking, take a break from sugar with this unsweetened cocktail that’s topped with a pinch of salt. http://tasteandtipple.ca/reindeer-games/

Day 22 of the Let's Get Blitzen: Cocktail Advent Calendar - Pom Pom Garland. This seasonal version of the classic Cosmo is easy on the eyes and does well at parties (not that you're going to any). Party of 1? http://tasteandtipple.ca/pom-pom-garland/

Day 21 of the Let's Get Blitzen: Cocktail Advent Calendar - Ornament Garden. Made with sake in place of a base spirit, this is a relatively low-ABV cocktail with just three ingredients. Best served in an ornament. http://tasteandtipple.ca/ornament-garden/

My final fall fashion look is on the blog - featuring my new suede boots and no jacket because it's miraculously 20+ degrees in November! Head over to the post for full outfit details: http://tasteandtipple.ca/fall-fashion-booted/

Day 20 of the Let's Get Blitzen: Cocktail Advent Calendar - Ebenezer's Envy. This #SoberSunday zero-proof cocktail is rich on flavour and gold in colour, like Scrooge's favourite things - pots of gold. http://tasteandtipple.ca/ebenezers-envy/

I know most of us are living in sweatsuits these days, but I'm not ready to give up on actual suits. Workwear comprises about 75% of my wardrobe and I love how a tailored fit gets me into that HBIC mindset. Head over to today's blog post for some of my workwear staples! http://tasteandtipple.ca/fall-fashion-trench-time/

It was an absolute pleasure making my maritime debut on CTV Morning Live Atlantic this morning serving up paired cocktail and canapé to put your apple-picking haul to good use. You can watch the full segment in my latest blog post: http://tasteandtipple.ca/apple-sage-mule/

Today's post is my 300th on the blog. 3 years, 300 posts. I'm marking the occasion with this Cranberry Gelato which didn't go as smoothly as I'd hoped but was a great metaphor for the ups and downs of the past 3 years. Check it out for the recipe and some reflections. http://tasteandtipple.ca/cranberry-gelato/
