I remember when my first-born was ready for baby food, I made most of it myself so that I knew exactly what was in it. I used organic fruits and vegetables. I cooked them, pureed them, and froze them in ice cube trays. I had stacks of different varieties of baby food in our freezer, ready…

Snack Ideas with New Reese Spreads #DoYouSpoon
Have you seen the new peanut butter chocolate Reese spreads? Or better yet, have you tried them? They recently arrived in major grocery and retail stores across Canada. I notice them every time I’m grocery shopping lately, practically calling my name. I’m a sucker for Reese Peanut Butter Cups, and this new spread is based on them, so…
Coconut Adobo Macaroni Salad
Summer is starting to wind down (booo), but there’s still time to have a few more barbecues and picnics this season before fall comes. When I’m looking for a good side-dish, I love a good macaroni salad. It goes well with just about any barbecued meats, hot dogs, hamburgers, or sandwiches. The good old standard macaroni salad is great,…
The Canning Kitchen: Cookbook Review and Giveaway

RV Camping Food {Stuck on You Giveaway}
I admit, I’m not much of a camper. I don’t enjoy sleep on the ground in a tent with no electricity or running water, especially when I have small children with me. Camping is not for me, but “glamping,” on the other hand, is actually pretty fun. I get to enjoy the outdoors, with campfires,…
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…

Cheesy Chicken Quesadillas
We’re starting to see a lot more sunny days now that April has rolled around, which means we all want to spend more time outside and less time in the kitchen. I find myself gravitating towards recipes that I can make quickly without even turning on the oven. These Cheesy Chicken Quesadillas from Cook with…
