Lately I’ve been gravitating towards simple recipes with not too many ingredients. It’s true that you don’t need a long list of ingredients with complicated directions to make a delicious meal that everyone will love. In fact, my family tends to like simple and straightforward meals the best, and this honey mustard chicken is about as uncomplicated as it…

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…
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…
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…
Lasagna-Style Quinoa with Kale
It’s a brand new year, which is always a great time to start eating healthier. There are certain foods out there, known as ‘superfoods,’ that are packed full of nutrients and anti-oxidants to help keep you healthy. Quinoa and kale are two of these amazing foods, so I combined them in this lasagna-like casserole. It’s…
Butternut Squash and Bacon Penne
With all the sweets and rich food we’ve enjoyed over the holidays now behind us and a fresh new year ahead of us, it’s a good time to start eating lighter foods. It’s not always easy to make that transition, but this pasta can help. It tastes so good that you’ll think it should be…
5 Homemade Holiday Gift Ideas
It seems like homemade gifts are all the rage right now. I admit, I’m jumping on board with this fun DIY trend this holiday season. I’m not very crafty, but I like making food, so my homemade gifts are all food-related. So far I’ve made muffin mix, soup mix, dip mix, spice blends, and sweets….
Rest, Relaxation & Reiki {Giveaway}
If you read my post about a day in my life, you know that my life is pretty busy right now with three little ones. That was actually a really good day, and luckily I have many of those days where things run pretty smoothly, but there are some days when I feel completely exhausted…
Slow-Cooker Apple Maple Pork Tenderloin
Bennett has been taking karate lessons from 5:30-6:00pm on Wednesdays, so that night has become our slow-cooker dinner night. We come in the door after karate to a hot dinner waiting for us. One Wednesday, I decided to make up a recipe using a pork tenderloin in the slow-cooker. I found one lonely Ambrosia apple…
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…
