CAESAR SALAD DRESSING

37 Living in Harmony with Nature

44 Outdoor Living Trends 2023

At a barbecue, where grilled meats take the centre stage, Caesar salad offers a refreshing contrast. It’s crisp lettuce, cool dressing and tangy flavours provide a respite from the rich and hearty flavours of barbecued meats. Here is the “no-egg” recipe for our Caesar salad dressing that was on the food shop menu at Dana Shortt Gourmet for close to 10 years. This recipe makes a big batch but the recipe can easily be halved. It lasts for at least 2 weeks in the fridge. In addition to salads, try using it as a dip for raw vegetables, a gourmet sandwich spread, or if you love aioli with your French fries, try this instead!

INGREDIENTS:

1 ½ cups mayonnaise (not low fat!)

1 tablespoon anchovy paste

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

• 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

• 1 cup good quality, extra virgin olive oil

• ½ cup Asiago cheese, grated (or substitute parmesan cheese)

METHOD:

In a food processor, blitz the garlic pieces until they are very fine. Add the mayonnaise, anchovy paste, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. With the motor running, VERY SLOWLY add the olive oil until thickened. Fold in the asiago or parmesan cheese.

DIY Backyard Projects:

Enhancing Your Outdoor Space on a Budget

Spending time in your backyard can be one of the most relaxing and enjoyable experiences, especially during the warmer months. However, if your outdoor space is looking a little lacklustre, you may not be fully enjoying all it has to offer. Fortunately, there are plenty of DIY backyard projects that can help enhance your outdoor space without breaking the bank. Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Build a Fire Pit

A fire pit is a great way to create a focal point in your backyard and enjoy cozy evenings outdoors. You can purchase a pre-made fire pit kit, or you can build your own using materials like concrete blocks, bricks, or stone. First, determine the location for your fire pit, and then dig a circular hole about 2 feet deep and 4 feet wide. Lay your chosen material in a circle around the hole, and stack them up until they reach your desired height. Fill the pit with gravel or sand, and add a fire ring or grate to the centre. Then, gather some wood and get ready to roast marshmallows under the stars.

Create a Vertical Garden

If you’re short on space but still want to add some greenery to your backyard, a vertical garden is a great option. You can repurpose an old wooden pallet or build a custom frame to create your vertical garden. First, line the back of your frame with landscape fabric, and then add potting soil to the frame. Next, add your plants to the soil, making sure to space them evenly. Finally, hang the frame on a sturdy wall or fence, and enjoy your new living art installation.

Build a Pergola

A pergola is a great way to add shade and style to your backyard. You can build a simple pergola using lumber and basic tools, or you can purchase a kit that comes with all the necessary materials. To build your own, start by measuring the area where you want to install the pergola, and then mark where your posts will go. Dig holes for your posts, and then set them in concrete. Next, add crossbeams to the top of the posts, and then add slats or lattice to create shade. Finally, add some climbing plants like ivy or wisteria to your pergola to create a natural canopy.

Repurpose Old Furniture

Instead of spending money on new outdoor furniture, consider repurposing old pieces you already have. You can give an old dresser new life by painting it with weather-resistant paint and adding a few shelves for plants or decor. Or, turn an old wooden cable spool into a unique outdoor table by sanding it down and sealing it with polyurethane. You can also turn an old pallet into a cozy outdoor sofa by adding cushions and a few throw pillows.

Add Outdoor Lighting

Adding outdoor lighting is a great way to create ambience and extend the time you can spend in your backyard. You can hang string lights from your pergola or fence, or install solar-powered stake lights along your garden path. You can also add lanterns or candles to your outdoor table for a cozy

These are just a few DIY backyard projects that can help enhance your outdoor space without breaking the bank. With a little creativity and some elbow grease, you can transform your backyard into a relaxing and enjoyable oasis.

Planting herbs like basil, rosemary, mint, and lemongrass around your garden or patio can naturally deter insects. Their strong scents can help keep bugs away.

4) REMOVE STANDING WATER

Mosquitoes breed in standing water, so eliminate any sources of stagnant water in your yard. Empty bird baths, regularly change pet water bowls and ensure proper drainage to minimize mosquito breeding grounds.

5) USE NATURAL REPELLENTS

There are natural insect repellents available that use ingredients like neem oil, soybean oil, or lemon eucalyptus oil. Look for products that are DEET-free and environmentally friendly.

6) INSTALL SCREENS

Use window and door screens to keep bugs out while allowing fresh air to circulate. Repair any damaged screens to ensure they are effective.

7) KEEP OUTDOOR AREAS CLEAN

Regularly clean up your outdoor spaces to remove debris, trash, and food particles that can attract bugs. Trim overgrown vegetation and mow the lawn regularly to minimize bug habitats.

8) WEAR APPROPRIATE CLOTHING

When spending time outdoors, wear lightcoloured, loose-fitting clothing that covers your arms and legs. This can help reduce bug bites.

9) USE FANS

Flying insects, like mosquitoes, are weak fliers. Having fans running in outdoor areas creates a breeze that makes it difficult for them to fly, reducing their presence.

10) AVOID PEAK MOSQUITO ACTIVITY TIMES

Mosquitoes are most active during dawn and dusk. If possible, limit your outdoor activities during these times to minimize exposure to bugs.

Remember that while these methods can help reduce bug encounters, they may not completely eliminate them. For severe bug problems or areas with disease-carrying insects, it’s recommended to consult with a professional pest control service.

$4,450,000 BY CONESTOGO

Paradise found only minutes to Waterloo. 13 acres of heaven with sweeping views of the Conestogo River. The tree-lined lane and traditional bank barn are reminders of Waterloo County yesteryears. Sit back on one of the many patios and enjoy the tranquility of rural living. The custom built home is of the highest quality and craftmanship. Over 6,000 sq. ft. of living space, it offers all the amenities you would expect. The kitchen has double shaker style cabinets, with quartz counters and backsplash, large kitchen island and many built-in appliances. It offers 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. Ceiling heights range from 9 to 12 feet with vaulted and barrel designs. The basement has 10 ft ceilings, a walkout to a covered patio, hot tub, fire pit and pergola. The recroom has a signature field stone fireplace and there is ample room for an indoor golf simulator or cinema room. Note the ICF and prestressed concrete slab floor construction. ICF offers the highest insulative efficiencies (don’t miss the extra deep window sills) and the concrete floors are very rigid and quiet. The HVAC is a combination of ground source geothermal and natural gas boiler with forced air and in-floor heating systems. The barn and attached shop are in excellent condition and present opportunities for those buyers who enjoy having horses or a few head of cattle around and/or need storage for toys and a workshop to putter away in. 6 acres are in hay, with the remainder beautifully landscaped. There is natural spring that runs year round and is accessed by way of the original stone shed that has been repointed. Truly a one of a kind property. MLS®

LIVING IN HARMONY WITH NATURE

By Desta Ostapyk, Principal Designer, Design by Desta and National Home Show Design Ambassador

After months of being indoors, Spring reminds us how much we need a clutter-free space that is calming and grounding. Taking center stage and sitting at the top of Desta Ostapyk’s list of Spring home trends, are spaces inspired by nature.

As we start to consider refreshing our homes, looking for ways to make our spaces more serene and soothing, incorporating natural elements

helps us connect with nature. Starting with colours, earth tones have been making a strong comeback for the past couple of years. One of the key colours of this trend is green in every shade.

Did you know that the colour green has the most variation of tones than any other colour? If you didn’t, now you do.

Other key colours for the next year are earth tones like

cognac, tobacco, mustard, charcoal, warm/creamy whites, deep marine blue etc.

Using colours like the ones mentioned above and bringing natural elements through décor, fabrics and furniture is key. Desta feels “a home should always have hints of nature and natural elements. As a designer, I’m excited that colour is finally making a comeback.”

a home should always have hints of nature & natural elements

HERE ARE SOME OF DESTA OSTAPYK’S TOP WAYS TO INCORPORATE NATURAL ELEMENTS INTO YOUR HOME:

Use natural fabrics throughout your home like 100% wool rugs (which help purify the air) natural fabric cushions, curtains & table linens. Bedding especially should be 100% cotton which allows your skin to breathe (helps you to sleep better) and should be machine washable/easy to maintain.

Decorate with nature’s treasures like stones, crystals, plants, flowers, beeswax candles, branches like cherry blooms, pussy willow, curly willow, eucalyptus, pine, dogwood and driftwood.

Mix woods and wood tones in your home through your furniture, picture frames and cabinetry. Not all woods have to match.

Bring in those earthy tones through paint on the walls, trim, doors, ceiling or all of the above or through area rugs, fabrics, pictures, art and decor.

Natural light and fresh air! Open up those windows and let in that natural light. Nothing lights a space better than Mother Nature so draw back those curtains and pull up those blinds and let that light in.

If it’s not too cold, open up those windows and allow some fresh air to circulate throughout your home/spaces or use a diffuser with a drop or two of your favourite natural essential oil (I like peppermint). This will also help with a good flow of energy in your home as well.

ASK THE EXPERT

REAL ESTATE

We are planning to build an addition to our current house. Even though the cost is more than we expected, we love our house and plan to be here for a long time. What do you advise us to do?

There is no one answer to this question. In my opinion, it comes down to the location of the house. If an addition makes your house the most expensive house on the street or in the neighborhood, then you may want to consider it since you might not get a return on your investment when you try to sell it. But, we all paid for items that we loved without thinking or paying attention to what is the return in value (I have a few on my list that I am guilty of). So if you do the addition just because you love where you are and are not concerned about getting back what you invested, do it and enjoy. I always recommend before any major renovation to talk to your Realtor. Their opinion can save you money and get you a better return since they know what adds more value to your house when it comes to home renovation and additions.

Alternatively, simple and sleek Designer Roller and Screen Shades are another option to help cut that hot sun. With varying opacities, we can ensure your space feels just right by blocking the heat, maximizing the light all while maintaining a view if you prefer. For added function consider automating your window coverings with Hunter Douglas Powerview Automation. Having your shades set to a schedule allows you to maximize their function, efficiency, and privacy without having to think about it. Change the schedule each season with the touch of a button on the Hunter Douglas Powerview App.
