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…

Sticky Buns in 5 Minutes
Who doesn’t love a sticky bun. Soft, flakey dough, spiraled with cinnamon kissed brown sugar, topped with lightly toasted pecans, then drenched is a gooey, sticky caramel that runs down the side. I mean, if you can’t get into that, I’m not sure we could be friends (says the girl who married the boy who hates…
Lazy Day Cake
I am beyond excited to finally be sharing this recipe. The reason I haven’t before now is because slices never last long enough to photograph. Hands down, this is my favourite snacking cake. It’s the one that my Nana made all the time when I was growing up, and now it’s the one that I…
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…

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…
Spaghetti alla Carbonara

Effortless April – 30 Days of 30 minutes or less
Spring is right around the corner, and I’m feeling like there are a million and one things that need to get done. The yard needs to be cleaned up, the house needs to be cleaned up, and the kids are driving me crazy every single day wanting to spend more and more time outside doing…
5 Minute Fresh Salsa
When I went grocery shopping last week there was a pile of tomatoes still on the stem that looked incredible. They instantly made me want salsa like at the restaurant, where it’s fresh and cool, and just full of flavour. I have never had a jarred salsa that I liked, other than homemade (thanks Mom),…
