It’s spring break this week and next week for my kids. I took this week off and we decided not to go anywhere, just stay home and have relaxing family time together. It’s been really nice. And, I finally have time to blog! I’ve been so busy with work and the kids’ schedules that I…

Shortcut Bibimbap
As I was photographing this Shortcut Bibimbap recipe, the kids came up to me to ask what I was making. “Bibibap — Bibimpap, ” I stuttered. “I mean Bibimbap!” They just stared at me with puzzled looks on their faces, and walked away. It’s a hard word to say (for me anyway), but trust me, it’s easy to make. My…
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…
Crockpot Mongolian Beef
Sometimes after a busy day when we just want to relax, our family likes to watch a movie together and eat Chinese food. It’s the one time we let the kids eat in the living room instead of at the dining room table. We have a big round coffee table in the middle of our living room where I set…
Cincinnati Chili
It was a rainy, cold Saturday when I made this Cincinnati chili. It rained so hard that Bennett’s soccer game was cancelled. And that’s saying a lot, because normally they play “rain or shine” — which actually means mostly rain, seeing as we are on the west coast of Canada. And you’d think I’d be unfazed by the rain by…
Sloppy Joe Stuffed Buns
The recipe I’m sharing with you today is one I’ve been making for many years, and it’s a family favourite. Whenever I announce that we’re having sloppy joe stuffed buns for dinner, there’s a lot of cheering, fist-pumping, and exclaims of “YES!” from the whole family. So why have I waited this long to post it, you ask? Let me tell you,…
Mushroom Meat Sauce #MOLOmonday
June is here! It’s the last month of school, and it feels like we’re all running out of steam as we approach the end of the school year. It’s getting harder to think of creative ideas for snacks and meals. It’s times like these that I like to return to the basics, to remember the…
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…
Greek Meatloaf #MOLOmonday
It’s the first Monday of the month again (wow, those months go by fast, don’t they?), which means it’s MOLO Monday! This is when I get to show you creative ways to use up your leftovers by sharing recipes and a printable, editable shopping list. This time we’re going Greek! First off – Greek meatloaf in muffin…
Roast Beef Fajitas #MOLOmonday
In my last post, I took a look back at the top recipes of 2014, and Slow Cooker Roast Beef was the #1 most popular post of the year. I can understand why, because it’s such a simple recipe (only 5 ingredients!) with incredibly tender meat and rich flavourful gravy. We have it quite often in our house….
