5 Reasons to Buy an Instant Pot Today

5 Reasons to Buy an Instant Pot Today

It seemed that every time I logged on to Facebook, my feed was filled with many talking about their new Instant Pot. Then during the Christmas season, I think all of my friends got one! I have to admit, I was curious and pretty sceptical when Instant Pots first came out. As if I needed yet another small to huge appliance cluttering my countertops and taking up space in my pantry. Yet the product promised to save ... read more

The Power of Baking

The Power of Baking

The windows open to the fresh air and sunlight pouring through the window. She and I in aprons, with gentle hands guiding mine as we worked through the short tasks of rolling, measuring and sifting. This is a memory of when I was young, baking in the kitchen with my Mother. This look back soothes and calms me, and puts a huge smile on my face. A recent survey commissioned by Becel showed that 65% of Canadians agree ... read more

Put it in your Pantry – Heinz Dijon Mustard

Put it in your Pantry – Heinz Dijon Mustard

Kids are funny creatures. This spring my then 8 year old {fruit loving} daughter randomly announced that apples will be the only fruit she'll eat from now on. Of course this changed the next day as she devoured watermelon and a plum, pretty much at once. Yet it goes to show that food-pickiness changes frequently and sometimes for the strangest reasons. Another example is mustard, one of my children won't touch it ... read more

Egg Myths Uncovered – #EggMyths Twitter Party

You're trying to eat as healthy as possible, I know. I am too. Yet are you, like myself, so tired of all those rumours and myths out there? It's hard to stay on track when there's so many distractions trying to lead you off your path, with huge signs that scream 'x isn't good for you anymore!' or 'eating y is better than z now!'. We all need help separating the truths from myths so that we can go on our way ... read more

Hearty Fall Meals in 30 Minutes

Hearty Fall Meals in 30 Minutes

With the change of seasons and our daily routine, our meal requirements do as well. Long gone are the days of flexible meal times, and enjoying food in the heat of the sun. Now, we require the meal itself to help warm us up from the inside out - baby it's getting colder out there! Warm and comforting meals are now called for, yet most days don't give adequate time that it usually requires to cook them. With so ... read more

Easy Garlic Parsley Salmon – Just cook the bag!

Easy Garlic Parsley Salmon – Just cook the bag!

Now that school and routine is back in full swing, I'm again feeling the huge time crunch to make healthy dinners for my family. Many evenings each week are filled with activities, which leaves very little time to cook. Yet, 'cook' is said in a very broad sense since we all know it's not a simple act. Making a meal also involves the tasks of shopping, measuring, prep, cooking, and clean-up.  Recently I ... read more

The Beauty and Simplicity of the Summer BBQ #TigerClean

Summer is here and so is everything that goes with it. I love being surrounded by the sounds of lawn mowers, birds singing you out of slumber in the mornings, and giggling kids running through sprinklers. The entire scene makes me want to break out the BBQ and raise a glass to warmer weather! Unlike the other seasons which call for more formal plates and cutlery (with dining at the kitchen table), summer is a time when ... read more

I am an Egg Champion!

I'll start off with this statement: I totally love eggs. I mean, is there a more versatile food? On it's own in countless ways, a baking staple and a necessity in many main dish recipes. Eggs are one food that we cannot be without in our home - ever. Which is why I'm happy to announce that I'll be wearing a new hat - I am an egg champion ambassador and have partnered with Egg Farmers of Canada to share a ... read more

One Dish Salmon Dinner

One Dish Salmon Dinner

It's hard to bring the family together for nightly meals, I get it. Before I became a Stay at Home Mom when the twins were born, my career involved shift-work. This meant there was weeks out of the month that Isabelle ate dinner at her sitters and not with our family. Flash forward to now, it's the activities and sports that throw a curveball in our day, many of them are right over dinnertime.   Yet, it ... read more

Kraft Canada Searches for Ultimate Food Hacker

We've all been there: it was a day of chaos and it's now 5pm. What to make for dinner? It's so easy to run to the nearest drive-thru or opt for something quick and not-so nutritional. During these times, do we really have a choice though? Kraft says you do, and their latest competition is going to convince everyone. It's called Food Hacking - a growing movement aimed at helping time-starved millennials cook tasty ... read more

Countdown to Summer

Countdown to Summer

For me, the passing of Easter weekend marks the official countdown to summer. The days are longer, and while there's still chilly days and chances of snow - the sun is out more and slowly but surely, you know summer is around the corner. There's really only a month and a half of school left and some of our regular activities have already come to an end. I can feel the promise of summer! Yet, before that comes, I ... read more
