Ok, here it is, my go-to, can’t be beat, ultimate cream cheese whipped frosting. I put this on everything now – banana bars (pictured below), carrot cake, muffins, cinnamon buns, etc. If you’ve ever had cinnabun, this is a dead ringer for their frosting (super light and fluffy). Did you catch that? We’re talking clone…

Panzanella Salad Skewers
The kids favourite salad / snack / lunch is always a version of a panzanella salad. It’s the one thing I can make for Oliver for school and know he’ll actually eat, plus, I love it (and Bo too). Finding something all four of us fight over eating is very, very rare. This week we…
Sausage Crostini
Alright, this has to be one of the quickest and easiest things you’ll find to make. The day I made these, I did them as a side. I made some fresh cheese ravioli in a light tomato sauce, and I knew that Bo would be looking for a hit of meat somewhere (he’s not a…
Summer Salad with Cantaloupe, Bocconcini, Prosciutto and Mint
Alright, getting back in to the swing of things around here with a super quick and easy salad. It’s delicious too. What isn’t delicious about juicy balls of fresh melon, soft mild cheese, salty cured meat, and brisk mint. I mean honestly, I could probably eat this daily for a month before I was sick…
No Bake Berry Cheesecake
Alright, I’ve got a ridiculously easy dessert here that tastes like summer. That’s all I could think digging into it last night, looking out the back window at all the snow. This is one of the most refreshing desserts I’ve every had, and it’s exactly the pick-me-up this house needed after a lazy weekend spent…
Pork Florentine Casserole
Alright, all cards on the table: I hate spinach. I have never found a way to eat it where I didn’t think it tasted like old socks. Being the great wife that I am though, when I saw the picture of golden brown, Parmesan crusted pork chops nestled in a bed of creamed spinach, I…
Cheese Triangles
This is hands down my favorite appetizer. My Mom used to make it all the time for holidays, and I asked her to for me for Christmas, but I just didn’t quite get my fill, so I whipped some up for New Years too. You may have already heard of them before, but probably as…
Goat Cheese Crisp and Potato Salad
Now, I’m not often one to opt for salads. I’m trying to get healthier, but my big plan is really just to cut out pop, and start running on the elliptical (which is what I’m supposed to be doing now, but the kids went down for a nap really easily today, and I’m thinking I can knock…
