    One of a Kind Cheesecake Egg Rolls

    October 8, 2015 - By

The crunch of an egg roll and the sweet taste of a cheesecake. Sprinkle some icing sugar on top and plate nicely with a dollop of whipped cream and this dessert treat will be the hit of any occasion. These are the perfect treat to take or serve at…

    September 25, 2015 - By 

    Remember high school? Well, I do. Let’s just say I recall eating extremely poorly in high school. I was too TEENAGER to pack a lunch of any substance at all really so I would pop over to a variety store and grab something fast. Bad..teenager…boy.. I know it. So now that I am the proud owner of a teenager, I am experiencing many small flashback moments. That first day of high school for her was like deja vu for me. And then there’s the lunch stuff. Enjoy This Easy Kid Approved Lunch I am very very fortunate my kids are…

In water, salads or on their own cucumbers are a great snack. But what about for lunch? Cucumber lunch ideas are fun and simple, just as you might expect. Here are a few of my favourites.

    8 Delicious Zucchini Recipes Everyone Will Love

    September 17, 2015 - By 

    Zucchini is one of my Go To Favourite Family Vegetables. We have typically grown zucchini in our garden every year but when we moved here to this new neighbourhood we lost that opportunity. Our backyard is a pool and large deck so don’t feel too bad for me. My garden space is very limited and so I gave up the massive zucchinis that the garden used to produce every year at this time. But I refuse to give up zucchini recipes and I have been visiting many seasonal food markets to load up on this versatile vegetable. [tweetthis]What is your…

    Well I don’t know about you, but this is the time of year when I start to feel like baking again. The temperature dips and I get hungry for a pie or cake. Chocolate pie is just the ticket. Ten chocolate pie recipes For the time being, I am still baking and eating gluten free, but the rest of my family is content devouring wheat. So I am kind of making two versions of some dinners and desserts. I personally feel better without the gluten, but not everyone in my family has bought into this diet. Can’t say I blame…

    Gluten Free Biscuits #GayLeaMom #GlutenFree

    September 1, 2015 - By 

    I really couldn’t tell you where this gluten free journey would go when I started it at the outset of the summer. It could have gone either way. Last week we went to a cottage with a crowd of family members and although my daughter quit her gluten free diet (it’s impossible to convince a 14-year-old of anything much sometimes) I maintained mine. We gave up on hers for a bit and that’s okay, I think. I wish she had stuck it out, but maybe another time. Anyways I am super stoked to share this gluten free biscuit recipe with…
