    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…

    April showers bring May Flowers right? That’s sometimes one of the only things getting me through April. It can be such  dreary rainy grey month of transition. May of course is summer and road trips and here it means opening the pool!! That makes me happy. I mean if I can’t ski then I might as well swim and read by the pool. Are you an April fan? Do you enjoy the showers? Or do you search out ways to lift your spirits during the dreary rainy showers this month. If you need something to do, or if you are stuck indoors with your kids and need some activities that…

    Spring Bird’s Nest Cheerios Treats

    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…

    No Bake Treats – Easter Bird’s Nests

    March 21, 2016 /

    When I was a child we used to make crunchy chocolate No Bake treats every Christmas. My Mom and I baked a lot some years and these crunchy treats were one of my favourites. I can’t recall what we called them now but they had egg noodles in them and chocolate and they really were a hit. With that idea in mind, I thought I would modify the old childhood recipe and create these spring No Bake Treats. These No Bake Easter Bird’s Nests are good any time of the year but I think they look colourful like Spring Flowers. No Bake Treats for Easter I will warn you right now…

    Easter is a special time of year to me. I am sure it is to many of you as well. My Mom was born around Easter and so this time of year reminds me of her. Easter is the time of year we used to get together often. It kind of kicked off the spring season. Birthdays, holidays and just any old reason to get together. Once the snow has melted and the roads are good to drive on again we would get together more than we ever did in the winter. My Mom loved spring as do my kids. Together they all loved puzzles and word puzzles like this…
