Stained Glass Gingerbread Cookies

Stained Glass Gingerbread Cookies

I say this every year, but I can’t believe how fast Christmas creeps up! As soon as Halloween ends, all the stores pull out the Christmas displays and some of my neighbours already have their Christmas lights up on their houses. And I start baking cookies! I’m not much of a baker the rest of the […]

Shortcut Bibimbap

Shortcut Bibimbap

As I was photographing this Shortcut Bibimbap recipe, the kids came up to me to ask what I was making. “Bibibap — Bibimpap, ” I stuttered.  “I mean Bibimbap!” They just stared at me with puzzled looks on their faces, and walked away. It’s a hard word to say (for me anyway), but trust me, it’s easy to make. My […]

Welsh Cakes (AKA Pancake Cookies)

Welsh Cakes (AKA Pancake Cookies)

Ayla’s preschool has a theme each month, and the theme for September was nutrition and food. They celebrated the completion of their nutrition-themed by having a multicultural potluck. Each child brought a “heritage dish” – something that represents a family tradition or heritage. It took me a while to think of what I could bring. There’s such a […]

Berry Whipped Cream Cheese

Berry Whipped Cream Cheese

  How can summer be over already? I can hardly believe how fast it went! The kids have said goodbye to late nights, lazy mornings, and long days with nothing to do but play and whine about being bored. Last week, we greeted the return of early bedtimes, morning alarms, back-packs full of school supplies, and of course, packed lunches. Ah, the […]

Nachos for Dinner

Nachos for Dinner

You might think nachos are just for snacking and can’t be very healthy for dinner, but with a few tweaks, you can create a nutritious meal out of nachos. Best of all, this is one meal your kids will actually beg to eat!  Mine sure do. You should see how their eyes light up when […]

20 Beautiful Burgers to Make This Summer

20 Beautiful Burgers to Make This Summer

It’s summer! So many burgers to make, so little time.  Luckily, you can easily enjoy burgers all year round, but they’re especially good when the weather is hot and the barbeque is fired up. My kids love when we have a burger night, because they like to build their very own burgers just the way they […]

Create your own Cottage Pie

Create your own Cottage Pie

My boys and husband are real meat and potatoes guys. They tend to prefer simple meals rather than complicated culinary masterpieces, which works out well for me when trying to prepare a quick meal that everyone will like. Basically anything with meat and potatoes is sure to win them over. Cottage pie combines the two […]

Lentil Tacos and a Taco Template

Lentil Tacos and a Taco Template

Raise your hand if you love Taco Tuesdays! Ever since the Lego Movie came out, Bennett gets excited when we have tacos on a Tuesday, but there’s never really a bad day for tacos, is there? I love having them on weeknights because they’re so quick — I just set out all the ingredients and everyone makes their […]

Ideas for Homemade Pizza Night

Ideas for Homemade Pizza Night

I’d have to say that pizza is my most favourite food. There are just so many possibilities for toppings and crusts that it never gets boring. If you have picky eaters like mine, you can let them build their own pizzas so everyone gets exactly what they want. I like to include a pizza night […]

You-Choose Chili

You-Choose Chili

I’ve put a great deal of thought into meal-planning over the years, and I’ve come to the conclusion that (for me, at least) the best method of meal-planning is to create a list of meal ideas. They’re not necessarily recipes, just general guidelines on what to make for dinner each night. So Monday might be […]
