Like many people, I really picked up my baking game during the pandemic. Between my weekly challah and bread baking, I’ve also been baking muffins. I used to make two different types of muffins. Something healthy for me to grab in the morning before my workouts and something for my boys to snack on during […]
Easy Challah Bread Recipe
Now that we are home together as a family A LOT more, it also means that we have more time on our hands to try out new things. Namely, that’s been baking for us. For the most part the boys enjoy helping me out – at least being the taste testers. Last week I was […]
Plant-based, Flourless Apple Muffins Recipe
It’s been a year now since my husband and I have been eating a more plant-based diet. While the transition was hard at first, figuring out how to supplement our diet completely with plant based products, it’s becoming almost second nature now. Once I tackled our daily meals, I made it a point to start […]
Hot apple cider recipe made with apple juice
While I would call myself a coffee drinker through and through, I always love a good cup of hot apple cider come Fall. The warmth, the scent and flavour awaken my senses and just make my day that much better. I especially love getting them when we visit a local farm or pumpkin patch. It’s […]
Healthy kid-approved snacks with siggi’s Icelandic Skyr yogurt
It’s back-to-school…. the time when most parents rejoice and kids sulk. I’m sort of in the middle. I enjoy the routine because it gives me more time to train and work, but I hate the morning rush. Speaking of being rushed… I find it’s not always easy to prepare balanced lunches and snacks for the […]
Setting a Hanukka Buffet Table
Last year, Hanukka fell on the same day as Christmas. That was interesting since we celebrate both holidays. I honestly can’t remember how we ‘handled’ it, but luckily, Hanukka is 8 days long so I’m sure we moved the big family celebration to another day. This year though, Hanukka is being celebrated almost 3 weeks […]
Healthy Halloween-themed snacks
Kyle’s teacher last year threw a few small ‘parties’ in her class around some of the holidays. She assigned four or five families to be in charge of snacks for the celebration. However, the big stipulation was that they had to be healthy. This left me in a bit of a conundrum because when it […]
A modern twist on the traditional Thanksgiving mashed potatoes side dish.
There are so many great things that I associate with the Fall. While it doesn’t compare to Summer for me, Fall is my second favourite season. I love the crisp fresh air, comfortable sweaters and layers, cozying up by the wood stove at the cottage, the changing colours of the leaves, and Thanksgiving dinners. Interestingly, […]
Looking for a quick meal idea? Try this pesto chicken pasta & mozzarella salad
As parents, we can all agree on one thing – there isn’t enough time in the day to get everything done. Whether it’s cleaning the house, doing laundry, getting groceries, doctor visits, spending quality time with the kids or sleeping, we can always use a few extra hours in the day for everything we want […]
Healthy Black Bean Chocolate Brownie that your kids will actually eat!
While I’ve been spending a lot of time on my health and wellness the past 6 months, I’m more laid back when it comes to my kids. Yes I feed them well during their main meals, but they definitely enjoy their share of snacks and treats throughout the day. I chalk it up to “pick […]
