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…
Slow-Cooker Borscht Stew
Have you ever made a meal that had all the right things going for it – nutritious ingredients, easy preparation, visual appeal – the only problem was that nobody actually liked it? Yeah, that’s what happened with this meal. I still wanted to share it though, because I think it’s a really great recipe, especially for people following low-carb,…
Butternut Squash, Yam & Chicken Soup
Now that fall is here, I think it’s time for a soup recipe. I had some leftover chicken and fresh thyme from the Roast Chicken recipe I posted recently. There’s always an ample supply of butternut squash and yams this time of year, so I added those ingredients to the soup as well. I threw a few…

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….
Baked Corn on the Cob
I don’t know about you, but I think corn just tastes so much better when you eat it right off the cob. I like to roll it in a little butter, sprinkle on a little salt, and sink my teeth into it. It tastes like summer. The only thing I don’t love about corn on…
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…
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…
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…
