As soon as the boys come through the door after school, they start looking for food. You would think they haven’t eaten in a week from the way they desperately scavenge through the fridge and cabinets for something to fill their hollow legs. It’s not like I don’t pack them a good-sized lunch, I do,…

Banana Blueberry Muffins
I can’t believe I haven’t posted this recipe before because it’s my all-time favourite muffin recipe. I make them more often than any other muffins. The whole family loves them warm out of the oven for a snack, lunch, or breakfast. I tend to have all the ingredients on hand, but if I don’t, it’s…
Beef and Bean Oven Tacos
Since the Easy Fish Tacos went over so well in our household, I decided to try more taco recipes. Oven tacos sounded like a great idea and I was eager to try them. They did not disappoint! Or at least, they did not disappoint Tony or me. The boys were a different story. I think…
Lemon, Spinach and Chickpea Spaghettini
Call me boring but I love spaghetti, just plain old spaghetti with tomato sauce. Sometimes though, it’s nice to change things up. I thought Cole might enjoy something a little different in his spaghetti, because he has suddenly decided he doesn’t like tomato sauce on his pasta. His change of heart was a little frustrating…
Sweet and Healthy Snacks
I recently wrote a post with dinner recipes you need to try, so now I’m going to share sweet and healthy snack recipes that you need to try too. Now that I’m nursing a new baby, I’ve been browsing Pinterest a lot on my tablet to pass the time. Honestly I don’t know how I…
Quick and Easy Fish Tacos
With a new baby keeping me busy, I’ve had to find ways to save time in the kitchen. The first step was to be as organized as possible with the initial meal planning and grocery shopping. On Friday nights at dinner, we decide as a family what meals we’re going to have for the following…
Banana Oatmeal Muffins
I haven’t posted much on Food and Whine in a while, but I promise I have a good excuse. Here she is… Our darling little Ayla was born on February 8th. I can’t believe that was almost a month ago already! If this first month is any indication of how fast the time will fly,…
Cashew Chicken Korma
The first time I ever had Chicken Korma with cashews was earlier in this pregnancy when I was still very nauseous and tired. My parents and siblings had stopped by for a visit, but I wasn’t feeling up to cooking dinner for everyone, so we ordered Indian food. We sampled all sorts of amazing dishes, but…
Recipes You Need to Try
I really lucked out this week and found several amazing recipes on Pinterest that I just have to share with you. These are definitely keepers! Cheesy Chicken, Bacon, Broccoli and Rice from Kevin and Amanda. I left out the chicken because I didn’t have any, so I added more turkey bacon instead. It tasted great and…
No-Noodle Zucchini Lasagna
I’m approaching my final month of pregnancy, which will also be my final month dealing with gestational diabetes. I’ve been blogging about it at GD Diaries if you’re interested in reading more about my experiences as a gestational diabetic. I’ve had it with all three of my pregnancies, and although it goes away after the…
