    5 Healthy and Awesome Spinach Recipes

    June 19, 2015 /

    As a child we had spinach at least twice a month. It was affordable and so good for you too. We grew up on simple spinach boiled and served with butter. But there’s no end to what you can use this amazing health vegetable in at meal time. From dips to salads and pastries too, spinach is more versatile than you might think. These 5 spinach recipes prove that. If you ask me spinach gets a bit of a bad wrap. It’s not nearly as sexy as kale has become. Instead, it’s that thing caught between your teeth after lunch that causes you embarrassment. Or it’s that limp overcooked vegetable…

    20 Must Try Homemade Salad Dressings

    May 13, 2015 /

    Homemade salad dressings can be tastier and healthier for you and your family. Here are some of the best homemade salad dressing recipes I have found. There’s no better time than the spring and summer to start making some of these. With farmer’s markets opening this month you can easily find the fresh vegetables and natural herbs close to home. Due to high blood pressure readings that came back three times in a row late last year I have tried hard to revamp my diet and lifestyle. First thing to go out the window entirely was salt. Happy to say I don’t miss it that much. Then I began reading…

    April 23, 2015 /

    We had a PD day here last week so it was the perfect time to unbox our brand new Breville No Mess Waffle Maker and put it to the test. I mean you can’t have waffles just any day of the week. They are a special breakfast or brunch treat. So you simply must have a brilliant occasion to indulge. Waffles are perfect for a  weekend, for instance, or a PD Day. A birthday or Mother’s Day. This gorgeous little number would be beautiful as a gift for Mother’s Day. You can gift it to your Mom, unbox it and make her some special waffles for breakfast. Homemade waffles make me feel…

    25 Great Tasting Slow Cooker Recipes

    April 23, 2015 /

    What do I love more than my slow cooker? My family actually. But that slow cooker comes close to number one on my list of favourite things in my kitchen. My slow cooker gets a crazy workout each week. It takes raw ingredients and fashions them into something while I am not even watching. That is kitchen magic. I rely on that thing so much especially during the winter months. I love my slow cooker. Maybe you are like me and you find that your slow cooker works beautifully, but you are tired of the same old slow cooker recipes. Well we can fix that with one of these recipes.…

    Kid Approved Chicken Udon Noodles – Cooking With Kids

    April 20, 2015 /

    Chicken Udon Noodles to the rescue! As my children get older, time is even more precious and demands on time are somehow even greater than ever before. But eating meals together is still important. Sometimes as a family we battle finicky appetites and hormones. That can be challenging. Very honestly, I can tell you that my tween and teen were so much less picky when they were small. As toddlers they ate everything I gave them. I never ever heard: “What’s for dinner?” or “Can I just make myself a sandwich instead?”   So cooking can be more challenging than ever. It’s deflating when someone comes to dinner and turns…

    The Best Ever Cherry Desserts

    April 14, 2015 /

    Cherry Desserts remind me of being a child again. Cherries in general also do that for me. My Mom was the world’s biggest fan of strawberries. She loved cherries too. I think that was partly because her parents had a berry farm many years ago and she grew up eating both often. As a kid I loved cherries and some of the best cherry desserts too. My daughters both love blueberries and strawberries, but they crave cherries the most. There is nothing so simple, refreshing and healthy as fresh seasonal berries, just picked and ready to eat. I personally can’t wait until June when both cherries and strawberries are in…

    When Life Hands You Lemons – Make Lemon Desserts

    April 10, 2015 /

    When life hands you lemons – make lemon desserts!! Of course. The best lemon desserts are the ones you have available to eat right now. I swear to you on all that I cherish, if the world of flavours dried up tomorrow and there was only lemon left, I would be totally fine with that. Lemon is my favourite flavour of all, ever. It makes me happy. Nothing like lemon to signal spring, summer, or even just a change of seasons. I just love it. My favourite of all time is lemon merengue pie. But lemon squares and tarts and even lemon flavoured cake makes me happy. So I rounded…

I wish I had thought of them first!   Easter Egg Decorating Ideas I love the part of Easter where kids and parents alike decorate Easter eggs. It’s always been fun to me.
