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 »
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 »
It should come as no surprise to you, our loyal readers, that my sister & I are not Martha Stewart clones. We’re not Stepford Wives. We’re not even *gasp* Rachael Ray! After all, we make no bones about this information: We make some pretty awesome and tasty stuff from inspiration that we pull from Pinterest Pins, but sometimes (more often ... Read More »
We went apple picking a couple weeks ago and had an absolute blast. The apples were slightly over-priced, but when you come away from the adventure with a 3 hour outing AND 20lbs of apples, I’d call it a win. Not surprisingly, my big plans to make apple everything that week didn’t pan out – one of the kids got ... 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 »
We don’t do much in the way of summer vacations in our family, but we love day trips – loading the bikes up in the trailer, driving into Toronto, and taking the ferry across to spend the day on the Toronto Islands, or spending a few hours touring the Grand River in Brian’s 12′ aluminum fishing boat. Easy & healthy food ... Read More »
We don’t have cable. Or satellite. Crazy, right?! But I’ve never seen the benefit in paying $50+ dollars a month for something that we shouldn’t be watching so much anyways (and even with those hundreds of channels, there’s usually nothing good on!). So when Netflix started in Canada, we were so thrilled to be a part of it. $8 a ... Read More »
(MR) So as you may have noticed, I’ve been out of comission lately, with a badly broken wrist (of course, my right hand!). My broken wrist and my son’s 3 teeth that got knocked out But I figured that I have to do something – I’m getting pretty bored these days. So I thought we’d try some soft pretzels. I ... Read More »
I’ve always loved tortilla and cream cheese pinwheels. I’ve seen the Christmas tree layout a few times on Pinterest, so I thought I’d give it a try for our New Years’ celebration with the kids. I just made a basic mixture of 1 package cream cheese, 1/4 c. cranberries, 2 Tbsp. walnuts and about 1/3 c. shredded cheese. I ... Read More »
