    Gluten Free Fireside Pie and Kids In the Kitchen – #BornOnTheFarm

    March 8, 2017 /

    Gluten Free Fireside Pie is the perfect comfort food for March weather. March Break is fast approaching and I don’t know about you but we are likely to be close to home. My older girl is traveling with a youth group, so my younger daughter and I will be hanging out together. Lucky for me, my youngest LOVES to cook and bake with me. I try to encourage that as often as possible. Cooking is a skill for life. This week we made a Gluten Free Fireside Pie together and it was the perfect comfort food for a Friday evening family dinner. March, might be the start of spring, but the…

    25 Gluten Free Crockpot Dinner Ideas

    January 14, 2017 /

    Post may contain affiliate links as a service to readers. I don’t know about you but I love my slow cooker. It’s a year round powerhouse. With a busy schedule like ours I need to set it and forget it. And let’s be honest is there anything nicer than the aroma of a stew cooking all day? Anything cooked in the crockpot fills the house with the sweet smell of something delicious for dinner. I know my crew loves coming home to that. I know a lot of my readers are gluten free, some by choice and some out of necessity. In years gone by I have been gluten free…

    Hope and Progress in Zambia – Emerging Cooking Solutions

    January 6, 2017 /

    We are sitting inside a small business with potential to change the landscape dramatically for Zambia. Emerging Cooking Solutions started in 2012 with a goal to make cooking safer. With a loan from the UN Foundation, Marion Peterson and Mattias Ohlson are changing lives for the better in Zambia. This is our first site visit in a five day tour of Zambia. We are here to see the impact of vaccines on the lives of children. I am traveling with a group of journalists who have each received a Shot @ Life fellowship to write about what’s happening in Zambia. The journey was long and the heat in Lusaka is unlike any…

    25 Muffins, Bread and Breakfast Rolls To Savour

    December 26, 2016 /

    Muffins are one of my favourite easy snacks. I used to make them a few times a week when I was younger actually. They are so easy to make and tasty to grab for breakfast, lunch or even as a quick snack. Many days I run out of baking and cooking inspiration entirely. So, I look to great influencers I know and trust to help me rediscover my creative side. This year, I thought some of my readers would also enjoy having a list of muffins, bread and breakfast rolls all in one place.

    31 Amazing and Appetizing Apple Recipes

    August 25, 2016 /

    Apples are a family favourite any time of the year. It’s rare that we ever have a fridge empty of apples. In fact, usually quite the opposite. I buy them by the bucket it seems. Five pounds of apples go quickly here. But on the odd occasion when they do not vanish as soon as they are placed into our fridge, then I like to have a few apple recipes and treats to be able to pick from. I love the way apples add flavour to any simple recipe or dessert, plus they are a great source of vitamin C and fiber. We believe what they say about an apple…

    Philips Viva Collection Digital Airfryer

    May 7, 2016 /

    The Viva Collection Digital Airfryer from Philips is taking frying to a new level. With this healthy alternative to traditional frying, my family can enjoy the crispy deliciousness of fried food without all the health concerns that go with all the oil associated with frying. Viva Collection Digital Airfryer – Healthy and Tasty Here’s how air fryers work. Instead of dipping our food in a vat of super hot, boiling oil, air fryers use circulating heated air to give that fried texture and taste without all the health impacts that go with submerging our food in oil – namely heart disease, arterial blockages, and the like. You can also use this machine…

    Spring Bird’s Nest Cheerios Treats

    March 23, 2016 /

    It’s the month for Easter baking around here and my sweet tooth has not been disappointed. So today I want to share another great, super simple Easter recipe we made recently. These Easter Cheerios Bird Nests are really chewy and sticky and oh so good. I call them Chewy Cheerios treats. You can also call them Marshmallow Easter Bird’s Nests if you want. Again these are simple to make so the kids can easily get involved baking them and sharing with friends. All you need is a few bulk food store ingredients and you can pull this together in 15 minutes. The only challenging part really is making sure the marshmallow…

    St. Patrick’s Day is almost here and you know what that means, right? Parties! And baking and all sorts of festivities. So, if you are Irish, or even just someone who likes a party, you can make good use of some of my free printables. This St. Patrick’s Day Cupcake Toppers Printable might be just the thing to help you trick out the bake sale cupcake table. I enjoy St. Patrick’s Day but I rarely go all out for this one day of the year.
