Sometimes for lunch I like to make muffins and serve them warm out of the oven with butter, sliced cheese and fruit. This is one of my favourite lunches, so I didn’t even think twice when I packed Cole a couple muffins for his daycare lunch, along with fruit and cheese. Well, did I ever get…
Holy Crap
I’d like to introduce you all to Holy Crap cereal. Yes, that’s right, it’s actually called Holy Crap. I just couldn’t resist trying a cereal with that name, could you? This delicious stuff is gluten free, lactose free, sugar free and nut free. It’s made up of chia, hemp hearts, buckwheat, dried fruit and cinnamon. You don’t need…
Mexican Chicken Crockpot Soup
I can’t get enough of Mexican food. I could probably eat Mexican meals every night of the week and not get bored. Probably the only thing I love as much as Mexican food is slow cooked food, so a recipe that combines these two things is sure to be an instant favourite with me. We’ve been eating a…
Oatmeal Smoothies
Oatmeal in a smoothie? It may sound strange, but it’s actually delicious! I first came across this concept on Gina’s Skinny Recipes. You must check out her site if you haven’t already, it’s one of my favourite places to find recipes for low fat food that tastes great. She wrote a post about a healthy oatmeal shake known as Avena,…
Black Bean Burgers
Nothing screams summer like burgers, but sometimes the same old beef burgers get a little boring, or are off-limits to many people because of dietary restrictions. Black bean burgers are the perfect alternative. I like them because they taste great, and they happen to be good for you. They’re low in fat, packed with protein, and these ones are really easy…
Creamy Broccoli and Seafood Pasta
I’m writing this as my husband prepares to watch the Stanley Cup finals, game 7 between the Canucks and the Bruins. This is a very special day for him, a day he’s been waiting for since he was a boy. Oh yeah, it also happens to be our 9th wedding anniversary. Needless to say, we’ll be spending…
Mexican Pizza
I love pizza, because it gives me a chance to be creative and imprecise. You don’t need to measure everything perfectly, and it’s okay if you don’t have all the right ingredients. Basically you just need the dough, and something tasty to put on top of it. For pizza toppings, I often use whatever I have in my…
“Baked” Oatmeal in a Mug
I recently posted about Chocolate Cake in a Mug, where I showed you how to bake a single-serving chocolate cake in only a few minutes. That got me to thinking, would this work for baked oatmeal too? I adore baked oatmeal, but most mornings I don’t have the time to bake it. So I tried applying the principles of…
Black Bean and Yam Enchiladas
Black beans. Yams. Whenever I see these two ingredients together in a recipe I swoon. I love them both on their own, but when they’re together it’s a beautiful thing. I usually put black beans in my enchiladas, that’s nothing new (see Chicken and Black Bean Enchiladas and Black Bean and Sausage Enchilada Casserole), but I…
