    Perfectly Sweet Peanut Butter Cupcakes

    February 25, 2016 - By 

    Peanut Butter Cupcakes are moist and delicious and really great treats for kids. My kids are peanut butter junkies, especially the youngest one. She could live entirely on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and the occasional pizza too. I prefer my peanut butter in something sweet like these perfectly sweet Peanut Butter Cupcakes. Or delicious peanut butter cups. Those make me happy too. Maybe even Peanut Butter Fudge. But Peanut Butter and jelly or jam….well that’s a pass for me. Do You Have a Sweet Tooth? If you are like me and have a sweet tooth at all then you…

    20 Great Gluten Free Muffin Recipes (Roundup)

    May 19, 2015 - By 

    20 Great Gluten Free Muffin Recipes: Gluten free is a way of life for an increasing number of adults and children. Luckily gluten free diets and recipes have grown up a lot over the past 10 to 15 years. There was a time when I was gluten free in my twenties when my Crohn’s Disease was really acute and dietary restrictions were helping me stay out of hospital. I tried many gluten free recipes and very few made me happy back then. But now, because of an increasingly large proportion of people who need to eat gluten free, and because…

    Simply Scrumptious Apple Cinnamon Muffins #GayLeaMom #Giveaway

    April 18, 2015 - By 

    I have been looking at Gay Lea Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Spreadables for a long time wondering what I could use it on, or in. Then last weekend I really had a craving for some muffins, so I decided I would whip up a muffin recipe using the Gay Lea Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Spreadables. What I ended up with was entirely scrumptious so I thought I would share. This Apple Cinnamon Muffin Recipe is pretty simply to make and what I love about it most is that the Gay Lea Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Spreadables product gives it a…

    Seven Mouth-Watering Muffin Recipes

    March 4, 2015 - By 

    For years I lived on muffins. So easy to make and I loved all the various varieties of muffins out there. Now I eat them quite a lot less than I once did and that’s okay. You know how absence makes the hard grow fonder. Well, that’s kind of how I feel currently about muffins. Now, as far as my family is concerned – they can’t get enough muffins. So I need to have some easy and delicious muffin ideas on hand frequently. We are big fans of honey bran and carrot. Sometimes the old stand chocolate chip muffin recipes…

    15 Scrumptious Christmas Cookies

    December 7, 2014 - By 

    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…

    Back to School Butterscotch Pudding #giveaway

    August 9, 2014 - By 

    Bring on the butterscotch pudding. By the end of September every parent around will be searching for new lunch ideas and snacks to pack in children’s lunches. It doesn’t take long to run out of ideas each school year. But this year I have a great butterscotch pudding snack I am happy to have found for the kid’s lunches. Puddin’ SqueeZ pudding on the go snacks that will clearly kick things up a notch. Let’s be honest. Back to School is not my favourite time of year. Reason number one: the fall signifies the start of the miserable weather slide that ends…

    Making Time for Breakfast Treats #strudelgram

    March 13, 2014 - By 

    This post has been sponsored which means I received compensation.  What does your breakfast routine look like? Are breakfast treats ever involved? Is that different on work and week days than it is on the weekends? Ours is typically pretty rushed but we do all make time to sit down together every day of the week. That’s something we have always valued and wanted to maintain. Some days that means we work hard to schedule that time in but it’s mostly natural here now. Family time starts at breakfast when we most eat healthy but small meals and race out…
