These turkey gyros combine two of my favourite things in one: a restaurant copycat recipe, and the BBQ. Seriously, nothing makes me happier than replicating our favourite restaurant foods at home. Between the sports schedule of three kids, and the budget we’re trying to stick to, restaurant meals are a luxury. This is why I…
Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce
Hot sauce is one of those condiments that seems to just be TAKING OVER OUR LIVES. That’s not me complaining either. That’s me being absolutely giddy about it! We always had some stocked in the house – and you know the kind, because we all have it in the house. A couple of weeks ago…
Fun for the Whole Family with a Backyard Oasis
As soon as the snow melts I start getting antsy about being back outside. This year’s never ending winter just about drove me insane (in fact, I ended up setting up the kids trampoline two snowstorms too soon). Over the past couple of years we’ve taken a basic yard, and turned it into a backyard…
Bakery Style Oreo Cake
Our Sophie, now four, has always been a girl who knows what she wants. What she wanted for her birthday was a table FULL of different cakes. The first one she asked for was an Oreo cake. I mean, how can you possibly argue with that, who doesn’t love Oreos. She’s seen and drooled over…
Logan and Cove Mattress Review and GIVEAWAY
This was one of those incredible opportunities I like to think of as kismet. Bo and I had a barely 3-year-old mattress that was nothing but problems, and we were debating getting a new one (it was pretty hard to stomach the thought of buying another new mattress so soon when we definitely didn’t cheap…
Everyone’s Favorite Blueberry Muffins
These blueberry muffins are super fluffy and made with frozen blueberries so you can enjoy them year round (fresh works too in season). Every time I make them, I get asked for the recipe from everyone who has one!
Salted Caramel Cake
I have been dying to perfect this salted caramel cake ever since we had it at our friends wedding (I think around 5 or 6 years ago, holy crap!). I don’t even think we waited until the wedding was over to hound the bride and groom for the name of the bakery, and obviously we…
Chicken Fried Steak
Chicken fried steak that’s crispy, tender, and full of flavour is possible at home! I spent two years perfecting this recipe, and it was worth every single step (and there were a lot of them) to finally get to this delicious, finger licking good perfection!
Oh the things you can do, with the Dyson Ball Animal 2!
I thought the Dyson Ball Animal 2 was amazing when I first took it out of the box, in fact, you can see my original glowing review here. Now that I’ve had it for a month and used all of the attachments that come with it, I’m in total love. You won’t believe all the…
Cheesecake Factory Brown Bread
Cheesecake Factory Brown Bread just like at the restaurant. This is my favourite bread recipe, and it’s been the most popular recipe on Kitchen Trials since 2015!

Dyson Ball Animal 2, where have you been all my life!
So, last month a bucket list goal of mine came true and I was offered to partner with Dyson for a couple of blog posts. We’re about to do a deep dive here folks, because I have been OBSESSED with their vacuums for over a decade, and with this Dyson Ball Animal 2, some of…

Welcome to Freebie Fridays! This week I’ve got a free Christmas Printable for you. You might be thinking it’s a little bit early (we are only two weeks into November), but read on, and you’ll understand… This morning I woke up, looked outside, and wanted to crawl right back into bed.

Ultimate Caramel Corn – A Game Night Favourite!
My ultimate salted caramel corn recipe is exactly what you need to put your family game or movie night over the top! Game nights play a big part in our house, something we’ve been calling “family time” for the last two years. I’ve got the reasoning behind that, the recipe, and an amazing giveaway all…
5 lunchbox snack hacks in under 2 minutes
Today I’m showing you five different ways that I send dairy products with the kids in their lunches (my lunchbox snack hacks). Each one takes less than two minutes to prepare (most of them are well under a minute!), and all of them are licked clean by the time the kids get home at the…
Fall Harvest Stew
My fall harvest stew is loaded with butternut squash, parsnips, onions, apples, potatoes, chicken, and fresh cider. It’s absolute perfection paired on a crisp fall day with some apple cheddar muffins! Fall has always been my favourite season. I’ve never been a sun worshiper, the heat just ain’t my thing. In the fall though, when the…
