Cranberry Olive Tapenade
I have been wanting to share this recipe for Cranberry Olive Tapenade ever since I made it at a Christmas party several years ago, but I kept forgetting to take photos of it! Finally, this year I had the perfect opportunity to write about it, when I received a sample of Triscuit’s new Nutmeg & […]
Asian Noodle Soup
Asian Noodle Soup (Instant Pot) A couple months ago, I finally bought one of those Instant Pots that everyone is raving about. When we were doing our kitchen renovations, I was a little overzealous in purging kitchen items, and I ended up accidentally getting rid of the lid of my slow-cooker. It wasn’t a great […]
Blueberry Grunt
This summer, my boys went all the way to the other side of the country, to Newfoundland, on a vacation with my mom and dad. They’ve never been that far away without us before. It was really weird not having them around, but they had such an amazing experience. They got to meet a whole […]
Cedar Plank Salmon with Moroccan Spice Rub
Cedar Plank Salmon with Moroccan Spice Rub I’ve been hearing about how good salmon is when cooked on a cedar plank for some time now, but I only recently gave it a try for myself. I was in Safeway and I happened to notice a nice pink slab of salmon stretched out on a cedar plank […]
Unicorn Frozen Yogurt Slices
My kids and I are big Starbucks fans. Our Saturday morning routine is to go grocery shopping and stop at Starbucks afterwards for a treat. They look forward to it every week, and so do I. So when the Unicorn Frappuccino craze happened, we were eager to try them. Since then, it seems like everywhere you […]
Fresh Prep Meals
A Vancouver-based company called Fresh Prep asked me if I would try out a couple of their meals for free and write a blog post about it. The concept sounded intriguing, so I gave it a go. Basically, they send the prepared ingredients to your door, along with instructions on how to cook the meal. The meals […]
Papaya Mango Strawberry Fruit Roll-ups
Bennett has been asking for fruit roll-ups a lot lately. I guess they must be a popular treat at school right now, and I think they’re fine as a treat, but not something I want to feed my kids every day. I remembered I used to make homemade fruit roll-ups when the kids were younger, […]
Old World Knowledge
My sister Lori and my sister-in-law Jocelyne owned an eatery in rural PEI, where they built their own wood fired oven and made all their food from scratch. People were always curious about their oven and how they prepared their food, so they decided to make a video series called Old World Knowledge, with the help of their friend, […]
Easy Beef Stew
It’s spring break this week and next week for my kids. I took this week off and we decided not to go anywhere, just stay home and have relaxing family time together. It’s been really nice. And, I finally have time to blog! I’ve been so busy with work and the kids’ schedules that I […]
Tomato and Bacon Gnocchi Skillet Dinner
This recipe is a spin on an old family favourite, Gnocchi and Chickpea Skillet Dinner. I love to combine gnocchi in a skillet with whatever veggies and protein I happen to have on hand. In the original post, it happened to be chickpeas, mushrooms, broccoli, and a little bit of turkey bacon. This time I […]
