Stevia-Sweetened Pomegranate Lime Spritzer

December 15, 2015 by Megan 31 Comments

Stevia-Sweetened Pomegranate Lime Spritzer

It can be hard to find a decent sugar-free, non-alcoholic beverage to sip on over the holidays. I learned this the hard way three years ago, when I had gestational diabetes while pregnant with my daughter. (For more on that story, visit the blog I wrote: The GD Diaries) I had GD with both my sons as well, […]

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Smoothie Bowl

This week has been all about grab-and-go breakfast ideas as many of us prepare to send the kids back to school and mornings become rushed again. Even if you don’t have kids and you just need to get yourself fed and out the door quickly, these ideas are sure to help you. Today on the […]

Egg in a Jar

Egg in a Jar

Here’s the fourth post in my daily grab-and-go breakfast series this week: Egg in a Jar! My kids go crazy for eggs. They would gladly eat eggs for breakfast every morning, but it’s time-consuming to cook up an egg, standing over the stovetop to make sure it doesn’t burn, while I’m trying to get everyone ready for school. Then I […]

Blueberry Almond Flour Mug Muffin

Blueberry Almond Flour Mug Muffin

If you haven’t noticed already, throughout this week, I’m sharing grab-and-go breakfast ideas to get you through those busy school mornings. Yesterday’s recipe for Yogurt Parfait Popsicles was perfect for coaxing reluctant kids to eat a quick breakfast, but sometimes I find I get the kids fed and forget to feed myself! This mug muffin is one of my […]

Slow Cooker Butter Chicken #MOLOmonday

July 6, 2015 by Megan 4 Comments

Slow Cooker Butter Chicken #MOLOmonday

Butter Chicken is probably my favourite Indian dish. The kids even like it, because it’s not too spicy, as some Indian food can be. I make it with mild curry so it’s totally manageable for them. The best part is that it’s very simple and easy to make, especially when you use a slow cooker. Yes! […]

Crockpot Caramelized Onions

June 20, 2015 by Megan 4 Comments

Crockpot Caramelized Onions

Caramelized onions are pretty fantastic. They add a perfect combination of sweet and savory flavours to just about anything, like quesadillas, grilled cheese sandwiches, pizza, eggs, grilled meat, pasta sauce, hamburgers…whatever you want! They take your food to a whole new level. But they can be tricky and time-consuming to make, because they usually require a lot of […]

Gluten-Free Spaghetti Quiche

April 27, 2015 by Megan 2 Comments

Gluten-Free Spaghetti Quiche

I don’t have a problem with gluten – in fact, I love the chewy texture that it gives to dough – but if you happen to have an intolerance to gluten, it can often be challenging to find gluten-free products that have a nice texture and taste. My mom has a sensitivity to gluten, so she knows this […]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Coconut Freezer Bars

March 8, 2015 by Megan 3 Comments

Chocolate Peanut Butter Coconut Freezer Bars

I like having a stash of chocolate treats that I keep all to myself, in case of emergency chocolate cravings.   These little chocolate peanut butter coconut treats are stashed in my freezer, and I’m pretty sure nobody knows they’re in there but me. I’d like to keep it that way, because they’re way too good to share.  […]

Pork Picadillo Wraps

Pork Picadillo Wraps

Several months ago, I had the opportunity to attend a cooking class at Well Seasoned in Langley BC on how to cook perfect pork, featuring Johnston’s Local Quality BC Pork.  Along with other local bloggers and foodies in media, I sipped Narrative wine while watching Angie Quaale from Well Seasoned prepare delicious pork dishes for us all to sample.

Marshmallow Pops for Valentine’s Day

February 9, 2015 by Megan 7 Comments

Marshmallow Pops for Valentine’s Day

February is a pretty special month.  Not only is it the month of Valentine’s Day, it’s also the month of my daughter’s birthday, and the anniversary of when I met my husband. Coincidentally, Ayla’s due-date fell on the actual day of our anniversary, which I thought was kind of neat.  This year, I’ll have known Tony […]
