This carrot soup recipe is perfect for fall. With ingredients that are also available during this time of year, and some great spices, this soup will get gobbled up on those cooler days. We’ve had a good year for our garden and a lot of our fall vegetables did really well so I’ve had a [...]
Every summer, we add new recipes to our list of ‘things we can barbecue’, and thanks to last weekend’s success, I can add this Grilled Pineapple recipe as well. I’ve been playing around with flavoured balsamic vinegars and olive oils and this dessert turned into a piña colada-type treat. We served it up with ice [...]
Has this ever happened to you? You have a party coming up and you hit the store looking for appetizers and snacks, only to find yourself staring hundreds of cheese options in the face. Cheese can be a tough area to navigate. Some cheese is mild, some powerful, and even others might be the worst [...]
I have been wanting to try this recipe since I made my coconut rum sugar cookies recipe last year. I waited patiently until this holiday so I could share them at an Easter dinner we are going to this weekend. Actually, it wasn’t so much so that I could share them. It was mostly because [...]
I had a really hard time coming up with a title for this recipe. There is a whole lot of goodness all up in this salad. I made this for my lunch on Thursday, and then I had it for every lunch after that until my ingredients ran out. I’ve been looking for something new [...]
Valentine’s is already on Friday. How did that happen? With our two young daughters, most Valentine’s Day celebrations are done at home. Usually with a fancy dinner, followed by a family movie, then the kids go to sleep and the adults get to hang out some more. When I think back to last year, I’m [...]
I’ve been thinking about cinnamon heart candies for awhile now. Valentine’s Day is under one month away and I’m seeing those little candies everywhere. I used to love these as a kid, then I went through an anti-cinnamon heart candy phase, and now we’re kind of friends again. If it was a Facebook status, I’d [...]
It’s usually right about now that I start missing the poutine from a restaurant near my in-laws cabin which is approximately a 14 hour drive away from us. Summer at the cabin isn’t the same without that meal and it is always on our list of things to eat when we go home to visit. [...]
This year I decided to take our family’s classic Peanut Butter & Butterscotch bars recipe a little further. It was a small change, and everyone has their own version of this bar recipe, so I thought I’d add my new recipe here because I can’t go back to the way they were before. I can’t [...]
I’m beginning to feel like a child on Christmas Eve. I shared earlier this month on my This Bird’s Day Facebook page that I am working with Ferrero Rocher this holiday and I had the opportunity to decorate the fireplace mantle that is making it’s way across the country right now. The delicious, giant Fererro [...]
French fries are an easy go-to food in our house. It’s one of the few foods that even the picky mouths at our dinner table will eat and it is a great finger food (our little one still gets frustrated with her fork some days). Being such a popular choice for a side, it’s fun [...]
