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.
Probably my favorite dinner right now. I am obsessed with basil pesto, I think it’s so summery and yummy and I love this dish because I do get bored of pasta. Gnocchi is a little different but still filling and oh so good with this combo of pesto, tomatoes and […]
This is an excellent chicken recipe to serve as the main attraction alongside a garden salad and rice or quinoa. It is fresh and flavorful with a great summery citrus vibe, and the sprigs of thyme really make it heaven. I cooked these on my skillet in the kitchen but […]
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 […]
This cake is definitely a winner in our house. We all love banana bread and this is basically banana bread, in cake form, but extra moist, with a layer of buttercream frosting. I think that is enough said. 😀 But really, it’s a quick and easy dessert to make for […]
Hello, waffles. Not just waffles.. delicious, protein-packed, nutritious and energy-boosting waffles! With almond pulp I had leftover from my nut milk making, I substituted the flour with that and then added some fresh rhubarb as well. So tasty! I will make note that if you do not happen to be […]
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 […]
Barbecuing this amazing marinated chicken is a delicious dinner choice to make any weeknight. The chicken is juicy and full of flavor, and goes amazingly with the charred pineapple. I like to serve this with cauliflower rice but you could make any side to go along with it, whatever is […]
This is a killer summer pie, especially if you choose to freeze it! It tastes like Reese’s Pieces ice cream and the creamy, fluffy filling is just so perfect on a hot summer day. Practically no-bake (except the crust, but you could always buy the pre-made graham pie crust as […]
This delicious bowl of goodness is so filling and nutritious, too. Fresh, healthy and loaded with yummy quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, naan with hummus and vegetables and a lemon Tahini dressing. I deconstructed the bowl for my kids because they don’t like their food touching 😀 But otherwise load up […]
This warm and comforting soup is great any time of year, summer being no exception. It smells delicious as it simmers and is perfect for dinner with a side of crusty bread. My husband enjoyed this as his lunch for work and my kids liked it, too. Win. 🙂 Enjoy!
