My kids and I are big Starbucks fans. Our Saturday morning routine is to go grocery shopping and stop at Starbucks afterwards for a treat. They look forward to it every week, and so do I. So when the Unicorn Frappuccino craze happened, we were eager to try them. Since then, it seems like everywhere you…

Papaya Mango Strawberry Fruit Roll-ups
Bennett has been asking for fruit roll-ups a lot lately. I guess they must be a popular treat at school right now, and I think they’re fine as a treat, but not something I want to feed my kids every day. I remembered I used to make homemade fruit roll-ups when the kids were younger,…
Stained Glass Gingerbread Cookies
I say this every year, but I can’t believe how fast Christmas creeps up! As soon as Halloween ends, all the stores pull out the Christmas displays and some of my neighbours already have their Christmas lights up on their houses. And I start baking cookies! I’m not much of a baker the rest of the…
Welsh Cakes (AKA Pancake Cookies)
Ayla’s preschool has a theme each month, and the theme for September was nutrition and food. They celebrated the completion of their nutrition-themed by having a multicultural potluck. Each child brought a “heritage dish” – something that represents a family tradition or heritage. It took me a while to think of what I could bring. There’s such a…
Smoothie Fun with Epicure {GIVEAWAY}
Spring is in the air, and as the weather gets warmer, I start to crave smoothies. A cold smoothie bowl is so refreshing for breakfast on a sunny morning. If we’re on the go with no time to sit down for breakfast, we can sip on smoothies on our way out the door so we can still start…
Cranberry Gingerbread Granola
I usually make some kind of Christmas treats to give out to family and friends at Christmas. Last year, it was homemade marshmallows. Other years, I’ve done spice mixes, baking mixes, and other goodies you can find in my Homemade Holiday Gift Ideas post. This year, I felt like making something healthy but still really…
Orange Brownies {Epicure Holiday Giveaway}
Can you believe that it’s going to be Christmas soon? It always surprises me how fast it sneaks up on me. I’ve been thinking about what to bake this holiday season, but it’s so hard to decide! There are family favourites, like sugar cookies decorated with icing or painted with egg yolks, Rolo cookies, Cookie Dough…
Chocolate Peanut Butter Marbled Banana Bread #DoYouSpoon
Chocolate, Peanut Butter, and Banana. Are there any three ingredients more perfect for each other? It’s like the holy trinity of baked goods. When thinking of a recipe using Chocolate Peanut Butter Reese Spreads, adding banana was a no-brainer, but I was having trouble deciding how to best combine them in a recipe. I was telling…
Blueberry Almond Flour Mug Muffin
If you haven’t noticed already, throughout this week, I’m sharing grab-and-go breakfast ideas to get you through those busy school mornings. Yesterday’s recipe for Yogurt Parfait Popsicles was perfect for coaxing reluctant kids to eat a quick breakfast, but sometimes I find I get the kids fed and forget to feed myself! This mug muffin is one of my…
Yogurt Parfait Breakfast Popsicles
I’m back today with another grab-and-go breakfast idea for those crazy first mornings back to school. It’s tough getting back into the routine of school mornings, so I’m hoping I can at least make breakfast a little easier for you. As I mentioned in my post yesterday (Peanut Butter, Jelly and Banana Overnight Oats) it’s hard to get my boys to…
