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…
Havarti, Pesto & Pear Grilled Cheese Sandwich
I feel like my fingers need a stretch. There is absolutely no holiday I love more than Christmas, and to do it justice, I completely break off from the blog for a couple of weeks. We go big on the 25th, but Bo’s background is part Serbian, so we always make sure to acknowledge that…
Fun Budget-Friendly Ways to Get Your Kids Eating at School
For me, back-to-school is the most bittersweet time of the year. And this year marks the first time two out of three of my kiddos will be in school – making it extra tough on the heartstrings. I’m lucky to be able to stay home full time, but probably not so shocking to other moms…
Croque Monsieur – The Ultimate Ham and Cheese Sandwich
Alright, here we go, back at it after a week of house-wide sickness, and then another week trying to get everything back in order and the house clean. Sorry. It’s that whole balance thing where, while I love being a blogger, until I’ve got three kids in school (aka the glory years), I’ve got a…
Ultimate Macaroni Salad – Amish style with eggs and cheese
There are a few things that you just can not buy. I was walking around, trying to pick out some easy sides for a BBQ last Saturday, trying to make life easier by not making everything from scratch. I picked up the macaroni salad (it was basically fluorescent orange), I looked at the tiny little…
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…
Truffled Steak Salad
A week ago I got to take a trip back to McEwan Foods in Toronto. This store holds really great memories for me. The first time I was there, I wandered around for 45 minutes, in absolute awe of everything you could buy, and stocking up on probably a little too much. I had just…
Leftover Turkey Pocket Pies
Easter is just around the corner, and it’ll be a toss up for cooking a turkey or a ham in most houses. If you’re cooking turkey though (and maybe this will be the push you needed, even if you *just* had turkey for Christmas), here is a super easy way to use up those leftovers….
Chicken Fried Rice
This recipe is all thanks to Stephanie (so thanks Stephanie!). She pointed out on Instagram that it’s delicious and I need to have the recipe up on the blog. I, fool that am I, never thought to post it, because it’s too easy. Ummm, some days I think I live in a giant brain fart….
New York Style Bagels
I remember going to the St Lawrence Market on a school trip in high school, probably before seeing a show or something. Most of the details of the day are pretty foggy now, except for two things. The last thing I bought was a pair of wax lips, because who doesn’t love them: The second…
Making School Lunches Fun with Rubbermaid lunch BLOX
I was on a mission this year when Oliver started school to have him actually eat his lunches. Last year (jr kindergarten), more often than not his lunch came home mostly untouched. This year I wanted to change that, so I started asking Oliver what theme he wanted for lunch. I’d try to get it…
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…
Potato and Corn Chowder with Pancetta
It’s winter, and this one has been a REAL winter. Tons of snow, a bunch of ridiculously cold days, and that feeling of wanting to do nothing more than wrap up in a blanket in front of the fire. As a side note, man do I ever wish we had a wood burning fireplace, gas…
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…
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…
