Welcome! Here you'll find our family favourite recipes and some pieces of our crazy life with four kids, a dog, chickens and bunnies living just outside Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
I wasn’t sure which course I should categorize this one in, because, it’s really good for any meal. Hm, decisions. It’s a wonderful, filling breakfast and is also great as a lunch or light dinner. That thick crunchy ciabatta bread is toasted and lightly coated in olive oil, slathered with […]
Super simple breakfast idea that is satisfying and healthy, too! There’s also no gluten in this meal so that’s great for those of you who love avocado on toast but can’t have the bread because this is even BETTER! My dad used to make these shredded potato patty “pancakes” when […]
This cake is a spring-time must. So light and airy, it is refreshingly bright and so perfect with that morning cup of coffee. I am obsessed with how moist it is, but not heavy. It has a slightly spongy texture and is SO GOOD with fresh strawberries, definitely the perfect […]
This pot roast is no-fail and always tastes amazing, no qualms about it. I don’t know what it is about those dressing packets but they’re magical and take the roast to another level. I remember a couple times I didn’t have the dry dressing on hand so I was able […]

Everyone needs a good chocolate chip cookie recipe. This is the only one you will ever need, trust me. These cookies are so good, but you don’t need to take my word for it. My mom (my kids Oma) made these cookies while I was growing up and they really […]
Am I the only one who thinks fajitas are one of the best and easiest dinners ever? They’re so good and so versatile with how you can dress them that even the pickiest of eaters will be fed. (I have one kid that only adds cheese to theirs- and that’s […]
It’s currently Zeppole season in Montreal! 😀 I honestly didn’t know what it was until I kept seeing these delicious donut-like pastries popping up on my feed and wondered why everyone was indulging in these yummy-looking treats all of a sudden. So, apparently zeppole comes from an Italian tradition and […]
