I don’t know about you, but this past week has been hot. It’s been so hot that I’m just going to start spelling it haaaaht! With only one month left to go in the school year, I can feel my resolve as a parent slipping. Add to that this heat and I’m done. Actually, I [...]
Maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle can be difficult in the long run. Earlier this year, I made the decision to focus on my health by becoming more active, drinking water, getting enough sleep and making better choices when it comes to the foods I eat. When I began making conscious efforts to be healthy, it [...]
Ka-pow! Disclosure: Every cookie is ‘my favourite’ cookie. I haven’t met a cookie yet that I don’t like. The same can probably be said for cakes, fudge, wine, cheese and ruggedly handsome men in their mid-thirties to fourties though, so there you go… #oversharing I’ve been side-eyeing my chocolate chip cookie recipe for awhile and [...]
My guacamole recipe is slowly becoming my new go-to favourite for a special treat for our friends and family. I’ve been stepping up my after-school snack options for the girls lately. Since we are home just after 3pm, and we don’t eat dinner until after 5pm, there are a couple of hours where nibbling here [...]
Just the thought of cherry and coconut together makes me giddy. Add fudge to that and I need a minute to compose myself. Last year when I made my Cinnamon Heart Sugar Cookie recipe, I was determined to make a follow up cherry-flavoured treat for this year. Here is a little unknown fact about me. [...]
I had so much fun (creating) eating my Pumpkin Spice Latte Fudge for fall that I decided to try a Spiced Rum & Eggnog fudge for the holidays. This time around I only needed one try and it set perfectly. I made them a few days ago and have been meaning to photograph them to [...]
There are some things that I label as necessities over the holidays. Among the many foods I enjoy, eggnog is one of those things that make my Christmas, well, Christmas-y. And I have the perfect eggnog recipe for you. If you’ve never tried homemade eggnog, you are missing out. I feel I need to apologize [...]
Today I am taking you to Slovakia with a traditional egg dish that is made in many Slovak households during Easter. This is not a dish I was brought up on every year, but since I have been sharing recipes from around the world, I thought why not challenge myself to learn one from my [...]
This month I am taking you around the world in 80 eggs with the Egg Farmers of Canada. I get to share my family’s love of eggs and show you some different recipes featuring the versatility of eggs. Today I am sharing one of my favourite soup recipes. If you are looking for a soup [...]
Our family eats a lot of eggs during the week. I enjoy the convenience of a hard-boiled egg at snack time, and they are baked into many of my favourite meals. Eggs contain 6 grams of high quality protein and 14 important nutrients such as vitamins A, D, E, folate and iron, making them one [...]
PSL-lovers rejoice. I’ve taken the pumpkin spice latte we all love at this time of year and turned it into a fudge. You’re welcome. This fudge recipe challenged me this month. It took me three tries to get the chocolate chip ratio right so that it would turn into fudge. My first try ended up [...]
