I wish you could see the smile on my face right now. We’re not talking just ear-to-ear any more. This baby is basically wrapping all the way around my head and shaking hands in the back. Why? Did I win the lottery? Did Cillian Murphry move in next door (I’ve had a problem since I…
Philips 2000i Air Purifier – Review and first thoughts
I’ve been lucky. I’m not someone who has suffered from allergies. Ok, there was that one time when I was about seven and I ate my weight in scallops and proceed to vomit the night away, but that may have been gluttony rather than a shellfish allergy. It did scar me enough to never eat…
P.F. Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Who doesn’t love Asian food? Ok, outside of Bo, because Bo is a SUPER plain and picky eater. It drives me nuts because ordering in Chinese food at 10pm on a Saturday night has never an option being married to him. Pity me. Ok, you don’t really have to pity me, because when I put…
Turkey Gyros
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!

It also means Christmas is officially right around the corner. How are all of you doing with your Christmas shopping? I’m a little…
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…
Baby It’s Cold Outside – Freebie Friday
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. Think I’m joking? Last…
