How can summer be over already? I can hardly believe how fast it went! The kids have said goodbye to late nights, lazy mornings, and long days with nothing to do but play and whine about being bored. Last week, we greeted the return of early bedtimes, morning alarms, back-packs full of school supplies, and of course, packed lunches. Ah, the…

The Best Meatball Subs
OK, now I don’t want to start any fights over whose meatballs subs are actually the best. You may say your Grandma’s are the best, or the ones at your favourite restaurant down the street are the best, and who am I to argue with that? All I mean when I say these are “The…
Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons
My baby turned 3 last weekend. THREE! I guess she’s really not a baby anymore, especially since she recently decided she’s done with diapers. Just like that, she switched to wearing underwear and using the potty, and hasn’t looked back. I’m thrilled to never have to change a diaper again, but also a little sad…
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,…
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…
Zucchini Blueberry Muffins
I know, I know – I already posted a zucchini muffin recipe this summer (Chocolate Cherry Zucchini Muffins), but these zucchini blueberry muffins were too good not to share. And I figure there are a lot of you with an overabundance of zucchini right now who would be grateful for finding a new and delicious…
Back to School with Stuck on You {Giveaway}
How is it possible that summer’s almost over? It always goes by much too quickly. Now I have to start thinking about school supplies, and new clothes, and homework, and after school activities, and packing lunches, and my head feels like it’s going to explode! Luckily, we’re prepared for lunches because Stuck on You provided the…
Grilled Shrimp with Mixed Greens and Maple Vinaigrette #FlavourStory
With the weather heating up, it’s the perfect time to heat up the grill and give the oven a break. It also feels like a break for me when I get to spend time outside on the deck, enjoying the sunshine while grilling a delicious summer meal (or better yet, when Tony does the grilling!). Sadly, we have…
Fun Ideas for Thermos Lunches & “Stuck on You” Labels Review
When my maternity leave came to an end a few months ago, Ayla started daycare full-time. I was so worried she was going to have a really tough time, because she was very attached to me and screamed every time I left the room. Well, she completely surprised me! She settled in at daycare without…
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…
