Happy April from the Toronto Home Experts Team!

We may be in the midst of another lockdown, but warmer weather and longer periods of daylight seem to make things more bearable. Another challenge of the pandemic is the ease of planning and managing home improvement projects at this time of year. Access to retail stores is restricted at this time, there are shortages in materials, and contractors have been booked solid for the past year. Please contact us if you are not on our mailing list as we are about to send out our list of recommended trades/services - people and companies who we trust and with whom we've had great experiences with. If you are on our mailing list, keep an eye out for it to arrive on your doorstep soon!

Another busy month as the Spring Market is in full force. Be sure to enter this month's giveaway of a Gourmet Charcuterie Platter delivery and to register for our Webinar on May 1 at 10am about the issues that Landlords are facing in today's market. As always, reach out anytime to let us know if you have any real estate related questions or would like to share some of the renovation projects you have in mind and discuss how that may affect the market value of your property!

Over the past year, it seems that many of us have spent more time in the kitchen and also more time in front of the TV.  For this month, we thought we would share a recent discovery -- the special shortbread cookie bars featured in Season One of Ted Lasso.

Apple just released a teaser reveal of Ted Lasso’s secret shortbread recipe, and a little internet savvy research revealed this recipe as the possible one - we decided to try it, and it became an instant hit!  It definitely has become a popular treat in our home -- either made a la Ted Lasso -- as just the shortbread bar -- or for a decadent indulgence by following the full recipe of Melissa Clark's Bittersweet Brownie Shortbread, (originally featured in the New York Times Cooking).
