Crackers with cream cheese, hummus, pesto, tuna salad, or even plain, my kids munch their way through a lot of crackers. We usually opt for Mary’s Gone Crackers because they are nutrient-dense and come in a variety of flavours but I actually enjoy making my own as well. It’s been awhile since I made some and I’m not sure why Read More …
Earlier today, the older kids were building their Lego sets and poor Vishnu accidently knocked over what they built, not once but twice. They promptly sent him out of their room and closed their door. Things like this tend to happen when you are the youngest. So Vishnu and I made easy three ingredient peanut butter cookies instead, since neither Read More …
Last week, we went strawberry picking at Downey’s Farm and came home with far more strawberries than we could possibly eat. One of the many things I made with our abundance of strawberries, is the classic strawberry shortcake. Although called a shortcake, this is more of a sweet biscuit topped with lemon butter and filled with slightly sweetened whipped cream Read More …
Last week I bought a huge bag of the most sweetest organic Fuji apples and started dreaming of all things apple. Firstly I opted to make an apple loaf instead of my weekly banana bread and since there is no better combination than apples and cinnamon, I added a good pinch or five of ground cinnamon. As always I took Read More …
For something that looks so impressive, the Dutch Baby is quite simple to make, requiring very few ingredients and little time. The crispy outside pairs well with the custard-like centre and goes well with any topping that you choose. We usually keep it simple and top with freshly squeezed lemon juice, sugar, and berries, however whipped cream, maple syrup, preserves, Read More …
Apple Crisp is a favourite around here. Its sweet, tart, warm, and comforting especially during the cooler months. However, this is definitely considered a treat and we do not eat it very often. I find that it makes it all the more special when we do 🙂 I like to use Granny Smith apples for their deliciously tart taste which Read More …
If you watch my Insta-stories, you probably notice that I bake a lot. And you wouldn’t be wrong – I bake a healthy treat or two once a week, usually in the form of muffins or banana bread. Although I wouldn’t recommend eating baked goods everyday, I do believe baking your own rather than buying is beneficial as it gives Read More …
I came across the concept of these two-ingredient bagels in the Bento Lunch Box Ideas Canada Facebook group. I have shared this group on both Facebook and Instagram many times before, but for those of you who do not know, this is an amazing resource for lunch-packing parents. Anyways, back to the bagels. This recipe does not make a traditional Read More …
I fell in love with Bread Pudding during the holiday season of 2011/2012. I had just seen my OBGYN and she had declared that the results from my previous ultrasound had come back normal. I was ecstatic and went to celebrate at Pickle Barrel. I am not sure what I chose for lunch that day but I remember choosing bread Read More …
It is no secret that we love baked goods in this household. During Fall and Winter, I bake at least twice a week – There is something about the smell of baked goods that is undeniably comforting during the colder seasons. One of my favourite things to bake is a loaf and what better loaf than a pumpkin loaf to Read More …
