I have been wanting to share this recipe for Cranberry Olive Tapenade ever since I made it at a Christmas party several years ago, but I kept forgetting to take photos of it! Finally, this year I had the perfect opportunity to write about it, when I received a sample of Triscuit’s new Nutmeg &…

Cedar Plank Salmon with Moroccan Spice Rub
Cedar Plank Salmon with Moroccan Spice Rub I’ve been hearing about how good salmon is when cooked on a cedar plank for some time now, but I only recently gave it a try for myself. I was in Safeway and I happened to notice a nice pink slab of salmon stretched out on a cedar plank…
Stevia-Sweetened Pomegranate Lime Spritzer
It can be hard to find a decent sugar-free, non-alcoholic beverage to sip on over the holidays. I learned this the hard way three years ago, when I had gestational diabetes while pregnant with my daughter. (For more on that story, visit the blog I wrote: The GD Diaries) I had GD with both my sons as well,…
Egg in a Jar
Here’s the fourth post in my daily grab-and-go breakfast series this week: Egg in a Jar! My kids go crazy for eggs. They would gladly eat eggs for breakfast every morning, but it’s time-consuming to cook up an egg, standing over the stovetop to make sure it doesn’t burn, while I’m trying to get everyone ready for school. Then I…
Blueberry Almond Flour Mug Muffin
If you haven’t noticed already, throughout this week, I’m sharing grab-and-go breakfast ideas to get you through those busy school mornings. Yesterday’s recipe for Yogurt Parfait Popsicles was perfect for coaxing reluctant kids to eat a quick breakfast, but sometimes I find I get the kids fed and forget to feed myself! This mug muffin is one of my…
Cauliflower Cheeseburger Casserole
I was browsing through the produce section at the grocery store the other day when I spotted beautifully vibrant purple and orange cauliflower. I practically swooned. I know, it’s a little weird that I get so excited about oddly coloured produce, but hey, that’s me. After staring at them for a while, like the crazy food-obsessed blogger…
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…
Chocolate Peanut Butter Coconut Freezer Bars
I like having a stash of chocolate treats that I keep all to myself, in case of emergency chocolate cravings. These little chocolate peanut butter coconut treats are stashed in my freezer, and I’m pretty sure nobody knows they’re in there but me. I’d like to keep it that way, because they’re way too good to share. …
Pork Picadillo Wraps
Several months ago, I had the opportunity to attend a cooking class at Well Seasoned in Langley BC on how to cook perfect pork, featuring Johnston’s Local Quality BC Pork. Along with other local bloggers and foodies in media, I sipped Narrative wine while watching Angie Quaale from Well Seasoned prepare delicious pork dishes for us all to sample….
Easy Skillet Chicken Parmesan
While I share a lot of slow-cooker recipes on this blog, I also like to feature easy meals that you can put together quickly at the end of the day, because I know not everyone has the time or forethought to put something in the crockpot in the morning. A lot of the time, I just…
