Love your Kitchen!

A

s I write this, the warmth of the sun on my face and the sight of my first daffodil in bloom fills me with an overwhelming sense of gratitude and joy. It's moments like these that remind us of the beauty and promise of new beginnings.

In this issue, we've created a collection of articles that celebrate the magic of being outdoors. From exploring the latest roofing trends to crafting refreshing cocktails and finding creative Easter basket ideas for the young adventurers in your life, we were inspired to create this issue with the spirit of renewal and possibility.

I'm thrilled to welcome Raven HVAC & Shain Arnott as new advertisers, and I extend my wholehearted appreciation for their partnership and support.

As we embark on this journey together, I invite you to explore our Amazon Affiliates page, where you'll discover an array of products to help you create cherished memories in your outdoor oasis.

With the arrival of Spring, may this season fill your heart with hope, energy, and boundless joy. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey.

Nature-Infused Roofs Latest Exterior Home Trend

The latest trend in home decoration is getting back to nature, and this year, it's not just limited to the inside of your home – it's reaching new heights, quite literally, on your roof. BP Canada, a leading roofing and building materials company, predicts that roofs in 2024 will feature earthy looks like never before.

Instead of the usual plain black, grey, or brown roofs, expect to see a range of natural tones such as pale and dark grey, beige, greige, and nuanced black mixed with wood-like patterns. These new roofing styles are inspired by nature and designed to give homes a more calming and organic feel.

BP Canada has introduced a new line of shingles called Signature, which come in multi-toned shades inspired by food, travel, and nature. These shingles are unique because they can be combined to create custom colors and patterns on your roof, adding a touch of modern elegance and personal style to your home's exterior.

If you're thinking about getting a new roof, Nathalie Lambert, Marketing Director of BP Canada, offers some advice:

1 2 3 4 5

Installation: Decide whether to install the roof yourself or hire a professional. While DIY can be an option if you follow instructions carefully, professionals often do the job faster and more reliably, with knowledge of the best materials and warranties.

Color:

Choose shingle colors that complement your home's exterior. You can opt for uniform hues for a classic look or go for multi-toned shingles to add visual interest and follow the latest decor trends. Online tools like BP Canada's Visualizer can help you preview different options.

Style: Your choice of shingle style can greatly

impact your home's appearance. Explore various options, including those that mimic natural stone or slate, to elevate your home's look and increase its value.

Climate:

Consider your climate when selecting roofing materials. Look for shingles with impact resistance ratings suitable for your area, especially if you're prone to hail or high winds.

Timing: Plan your roof replacement for spring

or fall when temperatures are moderate, and avoid rainy or humid periods to ensure the job can be completed efficiently without compromising quality.

By following these tips, you can make sure your new roof not only looks great but also stands up well to the elements for years to come.

Embrace the Serenity of Outdoor Living

Trends for Stylish Summer Spaces

W

hen the weather gets warmer, it’s the perfect time to get out and embrace the outdoors. This summer, focus on creating comfortable and relaxing outdoor spaces that blend nature-inspired designs with coziness.

According to Lydia Thammavong from RONA, people are really into outdoor living because it helps them relax and feel good. Outdoor decor isn't just about looking nice; it's about making your home feel bigger and giving you a nice place to hang out with friends and family.

Thammavong says RONA has three big trends for outdoor living in 2024: Boho Dream, Coastal Cool, and Cottage Comfort.

40

No matter what your budget or your personal decor style might be, RONA has amazing outdoor products to suit your outdoor space. They have furniture and decor pieces that coordinate well together, while being inexpensive. Plus, they make it easy for you to mix and match to create your own style.

So this summer, why not make your backyard an amazing oasis to hang out? With RONA's help, you can create a space where you can relax and enjoy the outdoors with style.

Boho Dream

This dreamy collection transforms your backyard into a desert oasis reminiscent of endless sandscapes. Globally inspired by Sahara sunsets, wind-sculpted dunes, and fragrant spice blends, Boho Dream is infused with the warmth and interest of textured materials, matte finishes, natural fibres, and artisanal touches. Rich earthy tones of sandy beige, reddish-brown, and charcoal black blend with warm coral, terracotta, and muted green accents to create a soothing outdoor refuge.

Cottage Comfort Inspired by the Cottagecore trend, this collection evokes the comforting charm of grandma's cottage, with its mismatched tableware, crochet cushions, and wildflower decor. The eclectic mix of romantic, vintage, and modern styles creates a welcoming space immersed in warmth and nostalgia. Enhancing the Cottage Comfort collection are natural fibres and eco-friendly materials, complemented by a harmonious colour palette of green shades and light neutrals accented with teal, coral, and washed terracotta.

Coastal Cool

Modern and cozy, the Coastal Cool collection delivers a fresh and breezy feel to your outdoor space, spurred by memories of long walks along the coast. The classic nautical blue and white palette is updated with shades of indigo, teal, and light ivory, punctuated with dark grey and matte black accents echoing the parade of large ships sailing in the distance. Elevated with seaside textures and patterns, this timeless decor will transport you to a Maritime haven of tranquility.

Refresh for spring with a new coat of paint.

SICO’s CLEAN SURFACE premium paint plus primer is the brand’s longest-lasting, most stain-resistant finish, setting a new standard for stain repellency and washability.

Available in low-sheen eggshell and resistant to scuffs from cleaning and abrasions, even in deep colours.

This spring/summer’s hottest paint colours include SICO Paint’s honey beige

hile we love traditional Borscht (that is typically meatless), our updated version will truly settle the age-long debate about whether or not soup is a meal.

Prepared this way - it definitely is! Served with crusty bread, this brightly coloured hearty soup is full of flavour, protein and fibre. Be sure to add fresh dill instead of dried, for an instant burst of fresh herbaceous flavour!

Directions:

Serves 4-6 Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 40-45 minutes Total Time: 55 minutes - 1 hour Ingredients:

Bis on

1 tbsp (15ml) avocado oil 1 454g package Extra Lean Ground Noble Premium Bison 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) dried oregano 1 tbsp (15ml) paprika 2 carrots, finely chopped 2 stalks celery, finely chopped 1/2 red onion, finely chopped 2-3 red beets, grated 1-2 large potatoes, chopped 3-4 cloves garlic, finely minced 1 473ml can of light beer 2 cups (500ml) vegetable broth 2 tbsp (30ml) tomato paste 2 bay leaves Salt and pepper to taste 3 tbsp (45ml) chopped dill 1 tbsp (15ml) balsamic vinegar To serve: dill, sour cream

44

Heat a Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add the avocado oil. Add the bison and brown, stirring often, for 8-10 minutes. If it’s sticking, turn the heat down slightly. Season with salt, pepper, the dried oregano, and paprika. Add the carrots, celery, red onion, beets, potatoes, garlic, and cook for another 5-7 minutes before adding the beer, and vegetable broth. Add the tomato paste and bay leaves, and stir thoroughly. Place a lid on top, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 25-30 minutes, until the potatoes are cooked through. Remove from the heat, and add the balsamic vinegar and dill. To serve: dollop a small amount of sour cream on top, and garnish with a sprig of dill.
