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!

Apple Cheddar Muffins
My apple cheddar muffins are half biscuit, half muffin and all flavour. They’re totally the kind of snack kids love, and can pull double duty as a side for a hearty fall dinner, like my harvest stew. Apple cheddar muffins. I know, cheese and apples? Your first reaction may be to close this page as…
Cherry Almond Tart
This cherry almond tart is AMAZING! It’s got a solid crust and a mild almond frangipane filling to balance out the sweet summer cherries perfectly.
Citrus Ginger Chicken with 3 melon and feta salsa
Incredibly flavourful and tender chicken marinated in a mixture of citrus, ginger, and beer. Grilled and then topped with a citrus three melon salsa and crumbled feta, this will quickly become a new summer favorite!
Almond Shortbread with Cherry Filling
The holidays are officially in full swing now. This means that from today, through to January 1, my home is consistently full of the sweet, sweet smells of baking (you’re allowed to be jealous, but also understand that this means I need to get my gym routine back up). One of my favourite cookies to make…
Best Ever Apple Crisp
I’ll boast a lot about the food I cook… “This is really good” or “You’ve got to try out this one, you’ll love it”. But with all of those meals, there’s always a little room for improvement. This recipe though, this recipe has been THE apple crisp for us for over a decade now. It’s…
Oatmeal Banana Bread Snacking Cookies
So, we’re one week in to summer vacation, and I’m already running out of snack ideas (how is this possible). My kids are grazers. They typically like to eat a small little breakfast and lunch, and graze in between those meals and dinner. I try my best to have healthy (ish at least) snacks, and…
Creamy Dreamy Lemon Loaf (Shhh… They’re better than Starbucks!)
What better way to start off the Saturday of a long weekend (thank you Queen Victoria!) than with a bright, fresh, tart, summer lemon loaf recipe. If you’ve ever taken a bite of the one from Starbucks, you’ve been wanting to make it at home. If you’ve ever taken a bite of this loaf, which…
Peach Tea Granita
I don’t think anyone is happier than I am that summer is just around the corner. The kids are finally outside all afternoon on the playground, my hammock is gearing up for afternoons spent flipping through magazines, and the BBQ is finally working its magic a few days a week. Better than all of that though,…
Summer Melon Salad
This is another throw back post to one of my favorite salads of all time. It’s just so “Summer” in every bite, and seeing as I had snow on my lawn last week, I’m desperate for a reminder. It’s just a few simple ingredients: sweet melon, salty prosciutto, mild bocconcini, fresh mint, and a squeeze…
Smoothie Pops
I love having quick and easy snacks in the freezer for the kids. Mine is always stocked with a bunch of different quick breads (banana, chocolate zucchini, and pumpkin) that I can pull out the night before as an easy breakfast before school. This weekend, the kids and I decided to make some smoothie pops for the…
Raspberry Turnovers in 5 Minutes
I know, that sounds like such a big promise: raspberry turnovers in five minutes. But I swear, I spent significantly longer making that image down there for you to pin then I did actually making these turnovers. It’s always the yummiest things that end up being the easiest, and for anyone that wants a quick…
Cherry Almond Coffee Cake
I love desserts and snacking cakes like this. Ones that are incredibly fast and easy to make, but look so damn fancy when finished. Psst – It’s recipes like this one that help me look like I actually know what I’m doing in the kitchen. It’s from Tasting the Seasons, a great new cookbook by…
Blueberry Crumble Muffins
Last night was not a good night. I should have seen it coming. I figured it was a good idea to go to Walmart to buy toilet paper (a sale is a sale) while the kids were still up, Bo laying in bed watching tv with them. When I got home Bo had put them…
The Best Banana Streusel Muffins
Bananas in bread form are a constant in this house. I buy about double the bananas we usually eat every week, just to watch them turn brown and sugary, ripe for baking. My freezer is always stocked with banana bread for the kids for snacking, or for breakfast on those nights where I know I’m…
5 Minute Pantry Pineapple Cream Pie
This is a family favourite recipe, one that my Mom made all the time when I was growing up, and that the kids and I still absolutely love. The best part: it literally takes 5 minutes or less to throw together with things you can keep on hand in your pantry. It does need to…
