Entertaining made easy with President’s Choice Black Label products
As my six month program with President’s Choice comes to end, I can’t help but feel a little sad. It’s been one of my favourite partnerships because of the people I’ve met and worked with and the food I got to eat (and I love good food…and I got to enjoy a lot of it!). […]
Even mediocre cooks start somewhere… I start with great kitchen tools!
Did I tell you that we’re moving? We are, and I’m so excited. We purchased a house in the neighborhood where we currently live (because we love it here), but across from the boy’s school and park and with two extra rooms. We also completely gutted the house so we got to design and decorate […]

Breakfast meal ideas for the cottage
My friend and I were recently discussing how much weight we gain over the summer months. Not for a lack trying, but because we eat differently in the summer, specifically at the COTTAGE! Yes, cottage season is upon us and that means lots of barbeques, snacks and drinking. Luckily, all of the outdoor activities we do […]
A Lazy Mom’s Guide to Dinner
I hate cooking! There, I’ve said it. Except, to those closest to me, this isn’t a surprise. Back in high-school, when my friend came over and I tried to make us dinner, my grandmother stepped in and took over… even though I was only making macaroni and cheese. When my husband and I met, our dinners consisted of […]
Enjoy Latkes Year-Round! And a Giveaway!
