This veggie loaded cheeseburger pasta dinner is a family favourite in our house. They love the cheesy pasta and I love that it's loaded with veggies and fairly easy to cook. It's one of those meals that you can load it up with whatever vegetables need to be eaten from the fridge. This particular time I used onions, mushrooms and zucchini, and normally I like adding red or green peppers too. Related [...]
Some days we just really don't feel like f@%#ing cooking. The kids are demanding, it's been a hectic day, you feel like crap or just unmotivated, whatever the reason may be, it happens, and that's why I always include a few toddler friendly quick and easy meal ideas when I meal plan (get your free Grocery Shop and Meal Plan printable). Who knew one of the hardest parts of being an adult [...]
From time to time I like to whip up a tasty treat and try a new recipe, and these Carrot Cake Donuts did not disappoint! With the Easter holiday approaching these make for a perfect Spring treat to enjoy with the family. Plus, they have tons of carrots so it’s kind of a salad right 😉 […]
I love cooking healthy meals for my family at home, but some weeks with the busy life of 2 under 2 it can be a hard task. Meal planning can take too much creative brain work, grocery shopping can be quite the task, and then actually cooking what I thought would be a good idea during the week can be time-consuming and unmotivating. Cue Healthy Meal Plans, a fabulous tool that requires [...]
If you follow along on my Instagram Stories you know that our family loves snack balls. I’ve been making the same snack bite recipe for over a year and it’s time to switch things up a bit. I based this M&M snack bite recipe off my previous recipe with a few simple and tasty changes. […]
If your household runs similar to ours, you're probably the main person responsible for meal planning, grocery shopping, and cooking family meals. Even if you and your partner share duties it's likely that you're the one actually making the list and making key decisions. This responsibility is an important one. We're the gatekeepers for our family's health, but it isn't always easy. With all of the work schedules, appointments, and hustle and [...]
I love having a sit down family breakfast at least once a weekend and this easy veggie breakfast hash has become a family favourite. Matt is obsessed with the chipotle aioli which can also be great on burgers or as a dipping sauce. I’m obsessed with the fact that it’s a sheet pan meal which makes it super easy to make while dealing with the family. The veggies get tossed in the [...]
I used to go to Bulk Barn to load up on different trail mixes. It was nice to have an assortment, but many had lots of added sugar with coated nuts, and it got really pricey too! That’s when I started making this sweet and salty trail mix. It has a bit of salt and a bit of sweet to satisfy cravings and it’s quite affordable to make. […]
These lactation boosting energy bites are a favourite snack of ours and everyone who tries them loves them. They’re great for boosting your milk supply, but they’re also a great snack regardless if you’re breastfeeding or not. […]
We are a big smoothie family and this strawberry banana smoothie has been a family favourite. It’s reminiscent of my teenage favourite mall smoothies without all of the extra who knows what in it. Four simple ingredients is all you need, no added sugars or flavours. […]
