Grand Prize 3 Winner Interview

We had a chance to ask Eve Brzezinski, the Grand Prize 3 winner about what it feels like to win a Grand Prize Property and her reasons for supporting the Princess Margaret Home Lottery.

Grand Prize 2 Winner Interview

Michelle Munroe is a lucky lady but as we found out in our interview, while she’s thrilled about winning a beautiful new home, it’s all about supporting cancer research at the Princess Margaret Hospital.

Quality Time in the Grand Prize 1 Kitchen!

IMG_8394

The kitchen in the Grand Prize Thornhill Showhome is huge, practical, and gorgeous! No matter what your level of skill is, this is a room that you can’t help but enjoy.

IMG_8397

The addition of a chef’s office is what won our hearts over. With space to work on your laptop, storage for cookbooks, and a black board, this room is perfect for meal planning.

IMG_8396

The kitchen has everything you need to tackle your wildest culinary dreams. The beautiful stainless steel professional style range boasts 6 burners and the convection/microwave oven is mounted under the center island for ease of use.

This kitchen has tons of usable space and the leathered finish covering the granite countertops creates a unique and rich look.

Fun and Games in the Grand Prize Thornhill Showhome!

The games room in the Grand Prize Thornhill Showhome is spacious and flexible making it the perfect room to entertain in.

The wine fridge and bar area makes hosting wine tastings a breeze. Your guests will have space to sit or mingle as they munch on your culinary offerings.

IMG_8417

It’s a great place to hang out with the guys to catch the game and three plasma screens mean that you’ll never have to choose between your favourite sporting events again!

IMG_8415

The pool table really speaks for it’s self. There is no better way to challenge your physics and geometry skills (while still looking cool) than learning a few trick shots.

This room is great for family games night. Whether your looking for a friendly game of Scrabble or an epic game of Risk, there is table space to spare.

7 Days in Paradise

Pure, soft sand beneath your feet, palms swaying as the breeze brings in the fresh ocean air. Picture your self staring into the distance as clear turquoise water stretches to the horizon.

This is the Alexandra Resort on Grace Bay, Turks and Caicos, rated by the World Travel Awards as the World’s Best Beach. Not only is the beach beautiful but it is surrounded by one of the largest coral reef systems in the world!

This incredible 7 day vacation (2 adults & 2 children) will have you wishing that the world over was filled with palms, mangrove, and crystal blue water.

The Season of the Grill

The first official day of summer falls on June 20th but we think the it should fall on the first day you fire up your grill for the season! Whether you’re in the Big Ticket Showhome or the Early Bird Cottage, grilling is one of the best excuses to get outside on a warm, sunny day.

While nothing can replace B.B.Q. standards like burgers and fish, there are some often over looked options that can spice up any get together.

Eggplant is a great healthy option and if you really want to do something different, try using the grilled eggplant to make baba ghanoush! Grilled pineapples are a really easy treat to make on those hot summer days. But our new favourite is grilled pizza!

We wrote about s’mores last week and we just came across this idea. It looks delicious so we thought we’d share!

5 Cars That Will Get You Noticed!

Cadillac-SRX_2012_crp

5. 2012 Cadillac SRX AWD
Style, elegance, and a 308 horsepower 3.6L V6 engine. What more could you want in a crossover vehicle? The 2012 Cadillac SRX AWD model has the ability to shift power to whichever rear wheel has the most traction on the road, making it perfect for our unpredictable winters.

2011-infiniti-g-coupe_crp

4. 2012 Infiniti G37 Sport
A slick two seater, the G37 Sport boasts a 330 hp 3.7L V6 engine, spacious interior, and high performance handling, even in adverse road conditions.

Mercedes-Benz SLK35 2_crp

3. 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK350
The SLK350 is a beautiful, classically inspired roadster perfect for making passers-by jealous, but what makes it really special is the feeling you get from having total control over such an exceptional vehicle.

Porsche-Cayenne_2011_13_crp

2. 2012 Porsche Cayenne
The Cayenne is a super fun car to drive. While the exterior may be a departure from Porsche’s traditional sports cars, under the hood, the Cayenne has the power and handling of it’s predecessors - mix that with an adjustable back seat for extra storage and you get a very versatile, very fast vehicle.

Spyder_AR8_10141_crp

1. 2012 Audi R8 Spyder
The Audi R8 is a beautiful car. It’s also a super-car. What qualifies a super-car you might ask? Well, in the case of the R8, it’s a V10 engine that delivers 525 horsepower. It also has all the bells and whistles one would expect from a car of this caliber including a special pigmentation on the leather seats that keep them from absorbing too much heat from the sun! That’s just plain awesome.

Limited tickets remain! Order yours before they’re gone!

Early Bird Cottage S’mores

With the Early Bird Draw just around the corner we thought it would be fun to share one of our favourite cottage treats! A fundamental part of the cottage experience, s’mores are easy and fun to make, delicious…and messy.

What you will need:

  • A bon fire
  • Graham crackers
  • Marshmallows
  • chocolate bars

While s’mores can be made in an oven it is not recommended, only because making them over an open fire is where all the fun comes from. All you need to do is roast a marshmallow over the fire, sandwich the chocolate and marshmallow between two graham crackers, let it cool, and enjoy!

What you get is the gooiest, most delicious fireside snack around!
