For those of us who have made the questionable decision to live in Canada (and more specifically, in the prairies) during the winter season, there is nothing better than a hot beverage or meal. Even better when that meal has been cooking all day long and is ready to be devoured as soon as you walk in the door!

DIY Wood Feature Wall
Not sure if you've had the chance to take a look yet, but earlier this week I posted before and after pictures of all of the renovations that we've completed so far. Well, almost all. There are still a few more pictures that will come at a later date...
The very last one in the post is the master bathroom reveal, the most recent reno to be completed. It is the masculine counterpart to my more feminine bathroom, and it suits Scott perfectly. But my most favorite part? My DIY wood wall!

The Big Reveal!
This has been a very long time coming, folks... we have finally finished our master bedroom en suite bathroom renovation!! (insert huge sigh of relief)
Before we get to the before and after pictures, let's start with a brief stroll down memory lane as to what Scott and I got ourselves into almost 2.5 years ago. If I were to sum it up in once sentence it would likely be something along the lines of this -- a less than beautiful house that needed a lot of blood, sweat and tears (literally) to be catapulted into this modern age and a state that we would no longer be embarrassed about.

Smothered Steak Burrito
Scott and I are pretty big fans of Mexican food. In fact, if you're ever in the neighborhood I can give you the names of 2 really delicious restaurants! So when I came across this recipe on Pinterest I was fairly confident it would be something Scott would enjoy...

Chocolate Peanut Butter Mug Cake
Am I the only one that gets these random cravings for cake? It's not just a craving for dessert... ice cream just will not do in these instances! No, I specifically need to have cake. And, more often than not, chocolate cake.
During the summer this usually isn't so bad. If it's 8:00pm and the craving hits me I can usually convince Scott that we just absolutely have to go somewhere and get dessert (chocolate cake for me, whatever he wants for him - but we definitely aren't sharing!). But during the winter... he is a lot harder to convince. And I don't blame him... who wants to go back out into the freezing temperatures and blowing snow when we are already cozy at home? Unfortunately, that doesn't make the craving go away.
