    Cute Turkey Life Cycle Learning Activity

    September 17, 2020 /

    What do you know about the turkey life cycle? If you are at all like me, then it stands to reason that you know very little about our feathered friends. I have always taken turkey for granted as a tasty staple of the Thanksgiving season. But, there’s actually quite a lot to know about turkey. It’s an interesting bird. Since the Thanksgiving and Fall season is fast approaching I thought that perhaps we could share some turkey facts and provide a cute little turkey life cycle booklet and activity for kids. Keep this reference for later. I have other life cycle booklets that are equally educational. For instance, don’t miss…

    Easy Fresh No Churn Strawberry Ice Cream

    September 14, 2020 /

    No churn strawberry ice cream is easy, fresh and wholesome. There’s nothing quite so rewarding as knowing you made it yourself and can count the ingredients on one hand! That’s exactly why you will love this ice cream recipe as much as we did. Start with the Local Fruit Back in the early summer we went berry picking and we landed two giant baskets full of fresh local strawberries. Hello! We were more than ready for berry season! My oldest daughter had several strawberry recipes in mind. We intended to try making strawberry jam in the bread machine and also no churn strawberry ice cream. While we eat strawberries fresh…

    Top Ice Cream Shops to Visit in Southwestern Ontario Right Now!

    August 16, 2020 /

    I scream. You scream. We all scream for ice cream shops. Well, you will ALL be screaming for ice cream and a trip through southwestern Ontario once you read about the delicious ice cream shops we have discovered here while day tripping safely during the Pandemic. Celebrating Ice Cream Parlours Is there anything that goes together better than summer and ice cream? Maybe, peanut butter and jelly might rival that partnership but summer was made for ice cream. Also, nobody screams for peanut butter and jelly, well nobody over the age of 5. This month, I wanted to share the love with some area businesses. After all it has been…

    Creamy Harry Potter Butterbeer Fudge

    July 29, 2020 /

    My family is hard core about Harry Potter. So, it was inevitable that we’d eventually make Butterbeer Fudge. Post contains affiliate links as a service to readers. I make a small commission from purchases made via qualifying links. Why Do We Love Harry? We have all of the Harry Potter movies and most of the Harry Potter books and many of the toys and puzzles too. Harry Potter is a perfect escapist adventure, especially during a pandemic, or for sick days. I asked my daughters both why they loved it and wanted to revisit the entire saga so many times during COVID-19. They said it just makes them happy to…

    How to Make Soft Pretzels in the Bread Machine

    July 23, 2020 /

    Soft Pretzels in the bread machine? Sure, why not? But the question is how…I mean how do you make pretzels in the bread machine? Homemade Pretzels for the Win Most bread makers do a superb job with fresh dough, so use the bread maker for that portion of the recipe and then turn the oven on for the final baking piece. Easy, peasy and so good.

    U Pick Farms Near London Ontario for Fresh Local Fruit

    July 15, 2020 /

    Why not take a quick local morning adventure or day trip to one of these U Pick Farms near London, Ontario? One of the things I miss the most this year, during this particular season is the abundance of local markets that are usually open. I often have enjoyed gathering all of the shades of the rainbow from Masonville Farmer’s Market, open from May through October in the Masonville Mall parking lot near my neighbourhood. But, this year with Coronavirus still in the driver’s seat we have all learned to proceed without a lot of our favourite conveniences. However, even with local Farmer’s Markets closed, I don’t want to sacrifice…

    Healthy Satisfying Train Ride or Road Trip Snacks

    July 6, 2020 /

    When taking long trips, either by road or by train, it can be challenging to keep everyone nourished and rested. Most forms of public transportation, including trains, offer high calorie, heavily processed foods. And as for road trip snacks, even when you take a long ride by car together, you need to plan your stops and road trip snacks or you end up eating poorly and wasting a lot of money. Why Do Healthy Road Trip Snacks Matter? Without a stable arsenal of healthy and hearty options, your family can quickly find themselves tired, hungry, stressed, and lacking money. We take an annual drive to Vermont for a ski break…

    Try My Fun Summer Cooking Challenge Now!

    Okay, so by this part of the pandemic none of us have any original ideas left to do or share, bake or make. We have been cooking and crafting and climbing the walls for months on end, right? So, what’s next? Maybe a summer cooking challenge is exactly what you need. This month, I might try one of those subscription meal delivery services again, just to change out up a bit. The kids like those and frankly sometimes I can inspire them to get involved making the meals with me. Occasionally, we also find a new favourite recipe out of the experience. They can be a bit expensive though and…
