I love popcorn. There was a time when I would happily eat the stale pink kind from the mall but then I decided I really only liked the theatre kind with extra butter. Recently though I’ve been dabbling a bit in gourmet popcorn and the theatre popcorn has pretty much gone the way of the …
I’m definitely a cupcake kind of girl. Cupcakes are a delicious treat to indulge in. I love coming up with new flavour combinations myself, like my German Chocolate Cupcakes and my Pink Lemonade Cupcakes. With two little ones it can be hard to make the time to bake. When a craving for a sweet treat …
Since having Ava I have been looking more carefully into the foods that we eat and have successfully cut down on simple carbs, over-processed grains like white rice and for the most part I’ve completely cut out wheat. I love finding alternatives that fit my new lifestyle that are also delicious. Nairn’s Oat Crackers and …

Coffee is part of the daily routine for many people and trust me when I say that I am no different. I look forward to sitting down with a hot cup of coffee every morning and then again once the kids are in bed. Sometimes I wake up super early just to get my coffee …
I know I talk about it a lot but I really love Food shows. I love watching Cake Boss and the Next Great Baker. It’s just so fascinating to see Buddy, family members and employees turn cake into works of art. I’ve never had the opportunity to visit New Jersey, let alone Carlo’s Bakery …

I know I’ve mentioned before that I am still struggling to get rid of baby weight + cake eating weight. Who knew you couldn’t eat crazy amounts of dessert after pregnancy in the way you could in your early 20s and teens. Well if you did know that, I sure didn’t. I seriously thought all …

Part of my morning ritual, like that of many other adult Canadians, involves a cup of steaming hot coffee. It usually also involves trying to get 2 year old Keira to sit through breakfast all while trying to keep 5 month old Ava happy. No easy task. Sometimes I need a second cup of coffee. …

Ava is now nearly 5 months old, and so it is almost time to start thinking about introducing her to real food. With Keira I made most of her baby food with fresh organic fruits and vegetables and meat. I plan to do the same with Ava and now that I have a brand new …

My best friend as an adult is definitely my younger sister. Growing up my mom always told me not to snub her because one day we would be friends. HA! Yeah right. Or… so I thought. Like most siblings we have had our ups and downs but mostly it has been ups. Since Keira was …
My family (as in my parents, brother and sister) celebrates Easter and we usually enjoy a big meal together after the Easter Service on Sunday.
