I love the combination of curry and coconut milk. The heat from the curry and the cooling creaminess of the coconut milk pair so well together. My kids hate anything spicy, so I don’t add a lot of curry, but I think it’s important for them to try different spices, even if it’s just a little…

Salmon Burgers #FlavourStory {Giveaway}
One of my favourite memories so far this summer was when the boys caught their very first fish. It was such a thrill for them to feel the tug on the end of the line as the fish grabbed hold of the bait. They were totally enthralled as the fisherman showed them how to reel…
Matcha Cherry Banana Smoothie
I’m still trying to use up all of those cherries that I mentioned in my post about Chocolate Cherry Zucchini Muffins, and I discovered that cherries make delicious smoothies. I’ve also found that Matcha powder is a great ingredient in smoothies. Kiss Me Organics provided me with a package of their Matcha Green Tea Powder…
Chocolate Cherry Zucchini Muffins
I am up to my eyeballs in cherries right now. Tony brings them home from work by the bucketful, so I’ve been trying to find ways to use them up. I decided to try using them in muffins, and I thought chocolate and cherries would go well together. And I figured why not throw a zucchini in…
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…
Chicken Caesar Sliders
Maybe it’s the heat, or the lack of routine, or the exhausting task of keeping the kids occupied all day (or probably a combination of all three!), but whatever the reason, there are a lot of times when I don’t feel like cooking much in the summer. I either prepare meals earlier in the day while…
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….
Apple Oat Pancakes
When I decided to write this recipe post about my dad for Father’s Day, I knew it had to involve pancakes. As a child, I always looked forward to Saturday mornings, because those were the special mornings when my dad would make us pancakes. Every Saturday morning without fail, my dad got up early with us while…
Mexican Chicken and Corn {Lettuce Wraps or Tacos}
I hate wasting good leftovers, so I’m always looking for creative ways to turn leftover food into something new and delicious. In my last post, you saw how I made corn on the cob in the oven (yum!). Now here’s a great recipe idea to use up any leftover corn you may have. If you also baked…
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…
