Recipe & Giveaway I love recipes that are simple, and this one is no exception. A recipe for quick cinnamon rolls that only takes TWO ingredients? And is done in 30 minutes, start to finish? Perfect for unexpected house guests, or for Sunday brunch. It’s also great for kids to help with, since there are not a lot of complicated ... Read More »
As a Canadian, I grew up knowing that one of the best toppings for French Fries was cheese and gravy – that’s right, Poutine! While we didn’t have it often, it was such a treat any time I did eat it. Those who are not familiar with poutine are missing out: warm, cheesy, melt-y, messy, and delicious! There are all ... Read More »
Looking for a light, spring-like treat to accompany this beautiful weather? These lemon squares are perfect for afternoon tea, a baby shower, or just a special treat. They’re easy to make, too, which is great for baking with kids over Spring Break! The recipe doubles well, but make sure to bake it in separate pan, so it will bake evenly. ... Read More »
I can’t say that I’ve ever had this problem before, but H-man’s birthday cake was so big that it’s taken us a week to demolish 3/4 of it – and by this point, it’s not as moist and delicious as it once was. The pirate ship design of the cake called for two 8 1/2 x 11 sheet cakes, so even ... Read More »
If you are like me, you don’t always get around to baking or cooking from scratch. There is always something going on, and getting out all the ingredients and dishes takes so much time. Then there’s the clean-up afterwards – nobody likes that part. So instead of cooking or baking, we buy pre-packaged, processed foods that are more expensive and ... Read More »
Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching, and I’ve been trying to figure out what I should make for dinner & dessert – now that we’ve got two kids and less money, we’ll probably be staying at home for dinner. I admit – this is one of those Pinterest projects that I saw when I first got onto Pinterest and thought, “Wow! That ... Read More »
Just a quick post from me today. I was reading the class updates from my youngest boys, and the teacher wants to celebrate Valentine’s day this Wednesday! So that means getting all the card written out, and snacks planned ahead. I was trying to think of fun, healthy Valentine’s treats to send along, but I ran out of inspiration. I ... Read More »
With the pace of our lives these days, we are all about quick! We love casseroles and crockpot dishes – pretty much anything you can throw together in one pot, bake, and enjoy! And fortunately for me, the kids prefer those kinds of meals to the traditional meat, potatoes and veggies meal. So when I heard of the idea of ... Read More »
I know. Cashews in smoothies? WEIRD. Except, not weird! When you’ve got a power blender, the cashews get blended right in with everything and there’s no grains left at ALL! Besides adding just a hint of a pleasant nuttiness, cashews are really good for you and make a healthy breakfast even better for your heart and bones! WHY are cashews good for you? By ... Read More »
If you read my post a week ago about the Rubbermaid easy-find lids, you were one of the lucky few to have a peek into my container cupboard. It was pretty bad. And thanks to the easy find lids, it is getting so much better (head over here to read more). So my next quest is to simplify school lunch ... Read More »
