We’ve eaten a lot of black beans & chick peas this winter on Meatless Mondays. Recipes that are good sources of protein, but I’m a little bored of them already and I only make a meatless meal once a week! When I went to the Food & Drink Show in Hamilton last month, I was introduced to Paneer cheese as another protein option for ... Read More »
When I saw Sober Julie’s Meringue Cups on Facebook the other day, I knew that I had to try them out. As soon as I saw the photos, my mind started mulling over the possible fillings for such a cute and beautiful dessert vessel! It didn’t take me long to decide that my first go with this recipe would be ... Read More »
Last week, a friend of ours had a birthday and threw herself a bash. This party was particularly awesome because it was a costume party. And the theme? Literary Characters. Right up my alley! I’ve read a LOT, but I googled literary costume ideas for adults because the pressure was getting to me. I considered being Tris from Divergent because I had ... Read More »
If every fool wore a crown, we should all be kings. -Welsh Proverb I spent a fair amount of time online today following the New and Ingenious products, news reports, and services that were unveiled on this auspicious day.

I’ve been curious about making my own butter now for a little while. Since I received my beautiful KitchenAid Stand Mixer for Christmas 3 years ago, to be exact. However, it seems to be getting harder and harder to find butter for sale in stores for under $3.00, and we use a fair amount of it. I grew up using ... Read More »
Good afternoon & Happy Meatless Monday! This week, I made my Meatless Monday meal on Sunday, but it’ll taste just as good on a Monday – I promise you! Pancakes are often a breakfast meal, but I tossed in some veggies and herbs to make these savory pancakes a great & filling dinner! I made these with El Peto Gluten ... Read More »
I fully admit it: I’m a Target Addict. At first glance, there’s not a lot that sets them apart from their forerunner (Zellers). It’s a brightly lit store, the brand colours are pretty much the same, and there usually aren’t a lot of shoppers around. However.

As I mentioned the other day, I did a Gardening theme for Hendrik’s 3rd birthday party. I had originally walked around Dollarama with a shopping cart full of Cars party stuff, but I didn’t really know what Cars-themed activities I could have the kids do. I walked past some clay flower pots and thought, Yes! That’s what we’ll do for the ... Read More »
