There are some meals that we all the time, but there are some meals on our menu that are seasonal. When spring rolls around my kids are excited by the return off a few of their favourite spring/summer meals. Planning seasonal meals is a good way to rotate menu items, and it fits better with […]
Menu Regret and Corn Fritters
A little while ago some friends and I dragged ourselves out of bed early one Sunday morning and went to the Peninsula Hot Springs. It was lovely. We sat around in pools of natural thermal mineral water, we plunged into totally freaking freezing plunge pools, we sat in steam rooms, we walked over bumpy rocks […]
Spinach Pasta Bake
I am always a little amazed at how much my picky eater loves spinach. There are so many things that she doesn’t like, for so many reasons, but if I add spinach, herbs and lots of garlic, she’ll eat it. It’s a good thing too since we still have loads of spinach growing in the […]
Freezer Friendly Meatballs Recipe
Meatballs – it’s one of those magical dinners that everyone in my family eats. I’ve been making this simple ‘porcupine’ meatball recipe for years and remember eating it often as a kid too.

And as I stood in my kitchen grating away some of the harvest, I mentally ran through all the zucchini recipes I know. There were many. I contemplated […]
Chicken on Sticks – Easy Kid-friendly Meal.
Everything tastes better when it is on a stick… well it does if you are my kids. Marinated chicken in fried rice tastes disgusting, but if I thread it on a stick and serve it with pita bread, dip and salad it is suddenly the best dinner ever made! I will never understand how my […]
Mexi Rice
I’ve been wanting to share this recipe for a while now. It has become very popular in our house this winter. It’s easy to make, budget friendly, can be adapted to suit your tastes and it’s really yummy… But it’s not very pretty. I think my food photography has come a long way since the […]
