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…

Getting Your Kids Involved in Daily Clean-Up
My boys are turning 6 and 8 in September, can you believe that? They’re getting so big already and can do so much on their own now. I recently came to a life-changing realization: they’re old enough to help with chores! Why are my husband and I doing all the work when we have two…
Design Your Own Snack Mix #SummerWithChex
Summer is finally here, and my boys have already uttered the dreaded words “I’m bored” numerous times this past week. I work from home, so I’ve been trying my best to keep them occupied while I’m busy. They spend a lot of time kicking the ball around in the backyard, or if the weather isn’t nice, they’ll be inside playing Minecraft, Lego, or board-games….
Frozen Yogurt-Coated Grapes
Easter’s almost here and the kids are getting excited about all the candy that the Easter Bunny is going to be bringing them…oh goodie. Okay, so I’m a little less thrilled about the whole candy thing than they are. It’s not that I don’t like candy, but it seems like we are bombarded with sugary…
Cheesy Shells with Broccoli
It’s spring break, and I’m taking the week off work to spend time with my kids. Since I want to spend as much time as possible with them instead of in the kitchen, I’m going to be making a lot of simple, easy, kid-friendly meals this week. This recipe is one of our favourites. My…
Strawberry Cheesecake French Toast
French toast has always been one of Cole’s favourite foods. His tastes have changed a lot over the years, but his affinity for this delicious breakfast treat has remained consistent. In fact, he loves French toast so much that he’ll often request it for dinner. Sometimes, if I’m feeling particularly nice (or lazy), I’ll oblige….
Cheering on Team Canada with Yoplait {Giveaway}
It’s hard to believe the 2014 Winter Olympics are just around the corner. It doesn’t seem like it was that long ago that our city of Vancouver hosted the winter games in 2010. Has it really been almost 4 years? I hunted down photos from that exciting time and was surprised how young my boys…
Slow Cooker Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup
When the weather gets colder, I start to crave soup. There’s nothing better than a warm belly full of soup on a blustery day. I love making soup in the slow cooker earlier in the day so we can come home after being out in the cold to the comforting aroma of soup and dig…
Tips for Stress-Free Holiday Meals
I remember the first Thanksgiving meal that I ever prepared by myself. This would have been about 10 years ago, when I was newly married and didn’t know my way around the kitchen very well yet. I had helped my mom prepare turkey dinners before, and she wrote directions down for me on recipe…
First Moments with Cheerios
Ayla will be 8 months old in just another week. I know people always say this, but time really does fly by, doesn’t it? A baby’s first year is so fleeting and filled with so many precious first moments that will never happen again. I do my best to document these moments so I don’t…
