Usually after dinner I crave a little something sweet. My favourite thing to have is a little nibble of good quality dark chocolate to satisfy my after-dinner cravings. We’re all big chocolate lovers in this house. Tony and I love dark chocolate, while the kids prefer milk chocolate. So when Baroness Chocolates offered to send us some of their chocolate bars…
Chicken and Mango Flatbread #Pulocuisine
You may recognize this flatbread, because I gave you a glimpse of it in my post about the Get Cooking Challenge, where I mentioned that I got a new toaster oven. This flatbread – or pizza, or whatever you want to call it – was one of the first things I tried in it. Wow, was it ever…
Turkey Enchilada Pasta
Mexican food has got to be my favourite food. No wait – make that Italian food – because I love pasta so much. It’s just too hard to decide…or it was, until I had this enchilada pasta. It’s the best of both worlds! This is a great weeknight one-pot meal. It’s easy to make, and with turkey and shredded…
Join the Get Cooking Challenge
Sometimes I get stuck in a rut with meals. You might think from reading my blog that I cook creative and healthy meals every day without blinking an eye, but that’s just not reality. There are plenty of times when I can’t think of anything interesting to make, or I don’t really feel like cooking, so I end up turning to convenience food that…
Confessions of a 1st Time Blood Donor
This is a little hard for me to admit, but I’ve never donated blood before and I don’t even have a good reason for not donating. It was one of those things that I kept intending to do, but never got around to actually booking an appointment and doing it. I’ve always been a generally anxious person,…
Getting Your Kids Involved in Daily Clean-Up
My boys are turning 6 and 8 in September, can you believe that? They’re getting so big already and can do so much on their own now. I recently came to a life-changing realization: they’re old enough to help with chores! Why are my husband and I doing all the work when we have two…
Zucchini Blueberry Muffins
I know, I know – I already posted a zucchini muffin recipe this summer (Chocolate Cherry Zucchini Muffins), but these zucchini blueberry muffins were too good not to share. And I figure there are a lot of you with an overabundance of zucchini right now who would be grateful for finding a new and delicious…
Back to School with Stuck on You {Giveaway}
How is it possible that summer’s almost over? It always goes by much too quickly. Now I have to start thinking about school supplies, and new clothes, and homework, and after school activities, and packing lunches, and my head feels like it’s going to explode! Luckily, we’re prepared for lunches because Stuck on You provided the…
Asian Chicken Drumsticks
I’m a frugal grocery shopper, so when I see chicken drumsticks on sale, I grab a lot of them. They’re much cheaper than most other parts of the chicken, but can be just as tasty. I usually just sprinkle a little seasoning salt on them and bake them, but that gets pretty boring after a while. When I saw a…
