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…

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…
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…
Apple Pumpkin Snack Cake
My boys are like eating machines lately. They pack huge lunches, but still come home from school ravenous, searching through the cupboards for something good to fill their tummies. They don’t mind snacking on fresh fruits and vegetables, but they really love baked goods like granola bars, cookies, muffins, and snack cake. I don’t have much time during the week to…
Turkey Meatball Curry
I love the combination of curry and coconut milk. The heat from the curry and the cooling creaminess of the coconut milk pair so well together. My kids hate anything spicy, so I don’t add a lot of curry, but I think it’s important for them to try different spices, even if it’s just a little…
Chocolate Cashew Cookies
I don’t think I fully understood how much my mom loves me until I became a mom myself. I’ve only been a mother for a small fraction of my life, and yet I can’t even fathom my life without my children now. In fact, I’ve felt this way from the moment I looked at the helpless new face of my first baby. The nurse brought…
Slow-Cooker Roast Beef
Ever since I was a child, one of my favourite Sunday dinners has been roast beef. On Sundays when we’re home in the afternoon, I’ll roast the beef in the oven. A lot of times, though, we go out on Sundays to spend time together as a family. On those Sundays, I often cook a…
Lentil and Garlic Sausage Stew
This recipe reminds me of one of the very first recipes I posted on this blog over 4 years ago, Turkey Kielbasa and Lentil Stew. That one was a crockpot recipe, while this new version is a quick weeknight recipe you can make on your stovetop. Cole really liked this one! His plate was empty…
Healthy Banana Oat Squares
I’m not sure where the recipe originated for these squares, but I came across it on Facebook. I shared it on my facebook page and then gave it a try for myself with a few minor changes, which I’ll share with you here. They were a big hit, especially with Ayla. They make such a…
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…
