It was a rainy, cold Saturday when I made this Cincinnati chili. It rained so hard that Bennett’s soccer game was cancelled. And that’s saying a lot, because normally they play “rain or shine” — which actually means mostly rain, seeing as we are on the west coast of Canada. And you’d think I’d be unfazed by the rain by…

Chocolate Peanut Butter Marbled Banana Bread #DoYouSpoon
Chocolate, Peanut Butter, and Banana. Are there any three ingredients more perfect for each other? It’s like the holy trinity of baked goods. When thinking of a recipe using Chocolate Peanut Butter Reese Spreads, adding banana was a no-brainer, but I was having trouble deciding how to best combine them in a recipe. I was telling…
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,…
Mango Chili Pork Tenderloin
Grilling season is upon us, and I’d love nothing more than to sit out in the sun with a cold drink while grilling up a tasty dinner for us. Unfortunately, we have no deck. Tony tore it down last spring, with plans to replace it over the summer, but due to unforeseen circumstances —…
I completed the LISTERINE® Challenge! {Giveaway}
Last month, I told you about the LISTERINE® Challenge that I was taking part in, so now it’s time to tell you how it went. It was very easy to sign up, and you receive a coupon just for registering. The idea of the challenge is that you rinse with LISTERINE® twice a day, and…
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…
Easy Chicken & Broccoli Divan
Well, we’ve made it through the first week of spring break! Just one more week to go! I did my best to keep the kids occupied, but I had to work (I have a home office), so they had to entertain themselves a lot of the time. And that’s not a bad thing – it gave…
Are you ready for the LISTERINE® Challenge?
I write a lot about foods that keep our bodies healthy, but let’s not forget how important it is to keep our mouths healthy too. I try to set a good example for my kids by brushing and rinsing twice a day, and flossing every day as well. I admit, I’m not perfect at it. Sometimes I get lazy…
Creamy Perogie Dinner
I have a weakness for perogies. To me, they are the ultimate comfort food. I try to go easy on the carbs most of the time, but when it comes to perogies, I just can’t help myself. And they make such a quick and easy dinner, so that’s a big bonus right there. If it…
