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.
A super simple summery salad 😛 I just served this at my kids birthday BBQ and it was great, especially since it was sitting on a table spread and it was beyond hot that day! I really get uneasy thinking of potato salad coated in mayo or a creamy base […]
I love this trail mix because it’s such an awesome snack any time, it’s great to pack for trips and my kids love it, too. The dried cherries are so yummy and are available at most specialty bulk food stores, they are my favorite dried fruit but you could obviously […]
A crunchy, filling, summery salad is a necessity in these early days of summer. This one has all my favorites combined. I am obsessed with buffalo chicken, it’s my favorite guilty pleasure. And since my life motto is all about moderation, this crunchy salad is healthy-ish enough that you don’t […]
The only deviled egg recipe you really need is right here. I’ve tried so many variations of deviled eggs and although some are interesting and different, I feel they lack the simplicity of being what they are intended to be. I love these deviled eggs and could eat a dozen […]
These energy bites take about 5 minutes to make, they require only a handful of pantry-staple ingredients, and they are Y-U-M. I don’t feel guilty about eating these and I don’t mind my kids having them, either- they’re full of omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturates, and fibre. The peanut butter and […]
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 […]
These biscuits are soft, fluffy and the perfect accompaniment to almost any meal. I especially love to make them to go alongside pasta or roasts to help soak up the sauce. They are actually my moms recipe, she made these biscuits often over my childhood but omitted the cheese and […]
I have a mild addiction to a certain Lebanese fast food place that serves these delicious spicy fries with a garlic sauce. It’s actually one of my favorite things ever and I get cravings for it all the time, haha! Anyway, I decided to try making them at home and […]
These pretzels are my current obsession. They aren’t scary to make, either. 😉 Not too salty and SO fluffy and chewy at the same time, they are just amazing. Shape them as typical pretzels as instructed or be a little fancy and make heart shapes 😛 I like to serve […]
Ah, poutine. One of the main food groups of most Canadians. An important legacy passed down through our hockey playing, igloo-making ancestors. And apparently, this first week of February is Poutine Week! So, I obviously had to make a traditional poutine. There is no place for soggy fries and shredded […]
