Our little lady celebrated her 1st birthday last week – time flies so quickly!! Here’s my deal with birthdays and parties for wee little ones – I don’t really think that a 1 year old needs a table full of presents, or $50 worth of decorations, or much of anything, really – but I *do* love making cakes, and I ...

So….because of our older two heading (back) to school, I’m going to have to be making lunches for the first time. For kids that rely heavily on peanut butter sandwiches, it will take some creativity to figure something out for our nut-free school. For snacks, I’d like to send something with lots of protein and not much sugar – so I’d ... Read More »
Recipes that only call for a couple or a few ingredients are awesome, and fun, too! However, maybe it’s just me, but “2 Ingredient ________” that uses cake mix, or cookie mix, or prepared icing, is cheating – just a tiny little bit. That’s why I think that this recipe is really kinda cool. It uses 2 real ingredients. Chocolate ... Read More »
All of a sudden we’ve noticed that the air is a little cooler, the skies are crisper and bluer, and some of the trees are starting to change colour. That makes me think of fall and warm comfort food. So when this recipe from the Pioneer Woman showed up in my Facebook feed today, I figured that I may as well ... Read More »
So, last week, just as we were packing up the van to leave for the cottage, our Ninja Purolator Delivery Lady came by with a giant box. I’m used to this. Well, I’m not used to actually seeing the Purolator lady – she typically manages to drive up, pull out the boxes, leave them on the front porch, and get ... Read More »
I happened to get a bunch of zucchini on clearance yesterday and wanted to do something fun with it. The kids and I searched on Pinterest and decided on zucchini boats. (They also thought we should try to float them on water before eating them…) I looked at a variety of recipes and settled on winging it with ingredients on ... Read More »
MR – I have never liked cauliflower – ever since I was really young. I just remember the mushy texture and the odd taste. My dad would always mash it into my potatoes so I wouldn’t have to taste it, but it didn’t help much. So I have avoided it for much of my adult life. But then there was ... Read More »
Happy Meatless Monday! I’m going to share with you a recipe that I tried out a couple weeks ago – and I REALLY apologize for horrible pics – they don’t look good, but the dinner was actually really tasty! It was the kind of meal that I felt could have been served on April Fools – Gluten-free pasta with alfredo sauce ... Read More »
So how ’bout that weather here in Southern Ontario this month? If there’s one adage that I’ve learned to be true this month, It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity! Now thankfully, my mom and my sister and I left the province for the East Coast near the beginning of the recent heat-wave, and returned to gorgeous – can I ... Read More »
MR – While going through my Pinterest boards to find dinner inspiration, I found this recipe I had pinned a long time ago for homemade bagels. It looked easy enough, so I figured I should try it with the boys. The weather wasn’t too warm, so I didn’t have to worry about heating up the house by using the oven, and ... Read More »
