It’s been a busy month so far, as we’re trying to settle back into routine after the holidays. Cole is taking guitar lessons, both boys are in skating lessons, and I’m taking yoga. It’s been hard to get out of holiday mode, and many nights I just don’t feel like spending much time in the kitchen. I want…

Kare Kare Toasted Peanut Salmon {Pulo Cuisine Giveaway}
I love salmon, especially when Tony brings it home from one of his “business” trips. I suspect these trips are more of an excuse for guys to get together and fish than to actually conduct any business, but I don’t mind as long as I get some gorgeous fresh salmon out of it. The…
What Kind of Kitchen Clean-up Rockstar are you?
It’s the start of a new year! I like to think of it as a good time to start fresh and give the house a good cleaning. Tony had some time off over the holidays, and all of us pitched in to clean the house top to bottom. We de-cluttered, getting rid of a lot of stuff…
Leftover Turkey Sloppy Joes
Now that the chaos of Christmas is over with, I just want to relax and enjoy some quick and simple meals. Luckily, there are lots of leftovers to make meals a little easier. If you had turkey for Christmas dinner, you probably have some leftover turkey that you don’t know what do to with. Well, I…
Vegan Sugar-Free Truffles {NuNaturals Giveaway}
Everyone deserves a treat around the holidays, even those of us who can’t indulge the way we want to. I know what that’s like, because a couple Christmases ago, I had gestational diabetes, so I had to stay away from sugar and anything else that was high in carbs. That’s tough to do at any…
Slow Cooker Spaghetti Sauce
Oh yes! Two of my favourite things in one post: spaghetti and slow cookers. We eat spaghetti quite often, and I also cook with my slow cooker a lot, so I’m surprised I’ve never shared a recipe for slow cooker spaghetti sauce before now. What I love about this particular recipe from Cook with Campbells…
Coconut Adobo Yam & Chickpea Wraps
I’m being bombarded with so many holiday sweets and rich foods this time of year that by the end of the day all I want is something light and healthy for dinner. These meatless wraps are a perfect choice, and you won’t believe how easy and fast they are to make. I used Pulo Coconut Adobo cooking…
Spreading Christmas Cheer with Stuck on You {Giveaway}
The kids are starting to get really excited about Christmas! I have to admit, I’m pretty excited too. I’ve always loved Christmas, but I’ve found that since having kids, this time of year holds a renewed sense of wonder and magic. Their excitement rubs off on me. I’m a little sad to think this may…
Oreo Eggnog Cheesecake Bites
Can you believe that it’s December already? I’m freaking out just a little bit. There’s so much to do!! I’m okay, really. Deep breaths. It can be hard to find the time to do much Christmas baking, but the kids love it so much that I make sure to set aside some time to bake with them over…
Mango Chili Sweet & Sour Meatballs
You might remember that I blogged about Chicken and Mango Flatbread not too long ago, using Pulo Cuisine sauces and marinades to create a unique recipe. That post was my submission to Pulo Recipe Challenge from Food Bloggers of Canada. There were so many incredible recipe submissions, so I know it must have been really tough to select…
