There’s one vegetable that my kids will always eat, and that’s broccoli. Other veggies can be hit and miss, but broccoli never fails to entice all three of my children. I don’t really know why that is, and frankly I don’t really care, I’m just happy they actually like something so healthy. Because of my…

Saving Dinner Menu Mailer Review {Giveaway}
I like to be organized, because it makes life run much more smoothly. It’s just hard to actually stay organized and keep on top of things. Mealtime preparation and organization consumes a large chunk of my time and energy, so sometimes I could use a little help. Okay, a lot of help. I think a meal planning service is…

Make Good Food Real Fast with Epicure {Giveaway}
Some nights, it can seem like an insurmountable task to get a healthy meal on the table quickly. At the end of the day, I have a million things on my mind, a tired toddler whining at my feet, kids relentlessly asking me questions, and all I want to do is sit down and have a glass…
Lobster Pot Pies and Lobster Mac & Cheese
I’ve always stressed the importance of introducing my kids to as many kinds of food as possible, and yet somehow they’ve made it this far in their lives without ever trying lobster. I knew we had to do something about that. When I heard on Food Bloggers of Canada that Hancock Gourmet Lobster Co. was going to be selecting…
Raspberry Oreo Coffee Creamer
Unless I’m battling morning sickness in my first few months of pregnancy, it’s very rare to see me in the morning without a cup of coffee nearby. It’s such a common sight at my house that my toddler can already say “coffee” as she points to my mug. I’m sure I’m not the only one out…
Back to School Snacks #DarePeanutFree {Giveaway}
Both my boys are in elementary school (or they will be, once the strike ends!) and my daughter is in daycare full-time, so that means there are three lunches to pack every weekday. The boys are actually really good at packing their own lunches now, but they still need ideas from me, and sometimes I struggle with…
Sometimes You Just Need a Tummy Rub {Giveaway}
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…
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…
