One of my favourite meals to go out for is breakfast, because I love it in almost all of its (Western) incarnations. Waffles. French Toast. Nutella Stuffed French Toast. Crepes. Fruit Stuffed Crepes. Pancakes with Real Maple Syrup. Eggs Benedict. Eggs Florentine. Maple Griddle Breakfast Sandwiches. Bacon. Hungry Man’s Breakfast. How is a person to choose what to eat when everything on ...

It’s a sad but satisfying task, cleaning out the vegetable garden at the end of the summer: restoring order, making way for next year’s growth, decluttering the spent vegetation… But that also means that it might be time to start planting your early spring harvest – ever done a fall planting before?

In my social circle, I was one of the first subscribers to Wagjag & Groupon (I can’t remember how far in Living Social, DealFind, & TeamBuy were by the time I signed up…). I was on top of it – what the best deal was, how to get it for free by sharing it first, all that stuff. However, after ... Read More »

It has been a while since I’ve posted, and a LONG time since I’ve posted a Meatless Monday recipe. It’s been a crazy busy last month, and this past week DD2 decided to start using the potty – so I needed to be paying a LOT of attention to her and her body movements so we didn’t end up with ...

People had a pretty predictable reaction when we told them that our summer vacation was going to be heading to Michigan for a week to stay in the cottage that we rented there: “Why Michigan? Isn’t there a million cottages here in Ontario that you could rent that would be closer?” Excellent question. Yes, there are a million cottages for ... Read More »
I saw the idea for these quick and easy Cinnamon & Sugar Donuts in a camp food roundup post last week, but the link in the article didn’t go anywhere – so I decided to just wing it. It turned out pretty well, if I don’t say so myself. These easy donuts don’t have to be reserved for camping trips, ... Read More »
