As the temperature dips, the leaves change colours and drop, the snow flies, and we pull our sweaters out of storage, it’s officially the crossover of seasons from fall to winter. With the coziest season, we tend to reach for our our favourite treats. For some it’s Starbucks’ infamous PSL, and for others it’s large pots of creamy mac and cheese. At KEEN, we’re avid foodies, no matter the season (

Our Favourite Recipes with a Dash of Creativity There are a lot of things that we love, and food ranks high on the list. It helps fuel our creativity as we work passionately on unique projects for our clients. So naturally, we thought we would combine our creative passions along with the favourite foods we like to bring to potlucks and stuff our faces with. And the result was our very own

I LOVE to cook. I think it’s safe to say it’s the part of my day I look forward to the most (second would likely be grocery shopping). Getting creative in the kitchen is meditative, gets my mind off of things and it involves eating. Who doesn’t love to eat?

Over time, strange phone calls were received, followed by much whispering for the planning of PV Fun Day.

Here’s the scoop: we’ve recently been blessed with 11.4 litres of vanilla ice cream and 11.4 litres of chocolate ice cream from our pals at the Ice Cream Depot. All is fun and games until you’ve had one too many Ice Cream Fridays of just vanilla and chocolate. Even if you don’t have as much ice cream as we do, you could probably add a little flavour to your plain ol’ ice cream. Let’s take a look at some ways to jazz it up:
