    Easy, Smooth and Delicious Hot Chocolate Bombs to Make Now!

    December 29, 2020 /

    Hot chocolate bombs are our new addiction here. My daughter Payton saw them months ago and we both decided we had to make some as soon as we could find the proper food grade silicone molds for the bombs. Hot Chocolate Bombs Maybe it’s all of the Hallmark movies I have been watching this winter, with their decadent hot chocolate as a pivotal heart-warming beverage used to strengthen relationships of all ages. Or perhaps, it’s just the natural evolution of the bread machine diaries in our home during the pandemic. Throw in a little Pinterest and a side of TikTok and you have a recipe for hot chocolate bomb FOMO.…

    So How Are We Doing Easter During a Pandemic?

    April 10, 2020 /

    But are we even doing Easter this year? We’ve gone back and forth on this actually, a few times this year. I mean honestly no judgement at all if you are taking it easy and simply getting through. But this week, I did a fair bit of reading and a whole lot of thinking. What would Easter look like in the middle of a pandemic? Would we be doing Easter? Our original plan was to drive to my brother’s home in Toronto. But that was back in February before we’d even heard the term Covid-19. Before spring vacations were cancelled and people started dying of a virus that was travelling…

    Easy Turtle Nilla Wafer Sandwiches

    May 31, 2019 /

    If you know me at all, then you know my love for caramel is bigger than most food crushes. In fact, caramel and chocolate combined are my favourite indulgence and I can’t ever say no to Turtles. These easy Turtle Nilla Wafer sandwiches are the best thing ever. I keep trying to find more ways to build chocolate and caramel recipes because it makes me ridiculously happy to bake with these ingredients. There’s really no way to mess this up in my opinion. Don’t Miss This Turtle Style Treat! If you like this recipe, then you might also enjoy this scrumptious Rice Krispie Turtles treat recipe. There are about 160…

    A New Twist on Traditional S’Mores Treats

    August 3, 2016 /

    S’Mores Treats are the ultimate summer indulgence. Perfect for a campfire and equally memorable just for a night at home after a day spent enjoying summer vacation. They are synonymous with camping too, aren’t they? So simple to make and so good after a day spent outdoors hiking, fishing, swimming or relaxing at the beach. One year I visited Daytona Beach for a media trip and the resort I stayed in with a bunch of other travel writers offered a s’mores kit for every visitor. LOVED that. Traditional S’Mores are so easy to make and great to share with friends and family. These are not your traditional S’Mores treats, but many…

    Lindt’s New Gold Bunny Easter App Gives Back #GoldBunnyStory #Giveaways

    March 17, 2016 /

    Easter is a time for family, but not every child has a family to celebrate with, which is why I was thrilled to learn that Lindt has created a story-telling app that aims to help. The Gold Bunny Easter App, celebrates the legendary Lindt gold bunny and gives back to Children’s Aid Societies in Canada with every download. Lindt Canada is celebrating the launch of a beautifully written and illustrated storybook app entitled “The Bell that Rang in Easter” My family feels strongly about Children’s Aid. I’ve spent 14 years helping to co-faciliate the adoptive parent’s support group at our local Children’s Aid. I volunteer to help other families as they are transitioning to adoptive families…

    15 Scrumptious Christmas Cookies

    December 7, 2014 /

    Cookies, cookies cookies! Do you have a little cookie monster in your house? Maybe you are one yourself! True story – I was a total cookie monster in university. I fuelled up with cookies, rice krispie squares and coffee. Now I try to eat healthier and sometimes I win that battle but I still have a weakness for cookies. This year I will purposefully take a pass on anything high in sodium, but my new low sodium diet and health eating process doesn’t mean I skip all the treats. I think there’s something about cookies that brings out the kid in all of us. And it’s Christmas, who doesn’t love Christmas cookies? This…

    How Does Your Easter Egg Hunt Grow? #Kindermom

    There is something about Spring time and Easter that brings to mind fresh starts. The windows have finally been thrown open here after a long winter and we are enjoying being able to take walks, riding the bikes, and being able to explore our new yard. This year we will be starting new Easter traditions in our new home. There’s something exciting about that also. One tradition I look forward to every year is the Easter Egg Hunt. It’s a hold over from my own childhood and it brings out the child in everyone. Treats and Toys that are Safe to Share Kinder Surprise has been a big part of…
