Happy June and Happy Pride Month, beautiful people! LOVE is the best ingredient and love for all is served here. We were challenged to show our true colours this month, so it’s a no-brainer one of the ways will be showing pride in food and bringing lots of colour to our meals! June is a month full of celebrations in our family, and also one
Freshly picked peaches conjure up nostalgia of a Summer visit to my Grandparents’ place out West as a kid and wandering the peach orchards near their house atop a hill with a view of beautiful Kelowna, BC. Heading to a local farmers market for a basket of freshly picked peaches is one of my favourite simple pleasures of Summer – some of our favourite spots
Our local Farmers’ Markets began to reopen last month and getting out of the house with DadChef for a bike ride to the one hosted in our local park has been a bit of simple joy and parenting reprieve we need. Strawberry season is always a sweet sign of Summer’s start, and Ontario strawberries are among the sweetest and most delish. There are lots of
We’ve just celebrated our first official long weekend here in Canada – May 2-4, Victoria Day – which marks the start of “Summer”, although it’s technically still Spring. But after the year & a half we’ve all endured, bring on that warm, sunny joy! We spent most of it outside in the backyard with minimal cooking happening, but some of our favourite salads we enjoy
Hints of Spring are in the air! Can you feel the shift in your energy too? Spring is my favourite season for several reasons – the budding blooms, the season we became parents for the first time, usually a time filled with family celebrations & especially for the feeling of renewal & revival it evokes. And how about all the bright, beautiful food that pops
I know, I know – we’re all a wee bit Irish on the Seventeenth o’ March. But really, we are. I on my maternal side, DadChef on his paternal side. Whatever the reason to enjoy fun, green food, though, sign me up! Green is my favourite colour after all 😉 We had fun celebrating a bit early last weekend because why not! We made 3
It’s Canadian Agriculture Day today – a chance to celebrate the abundance of incredible food grown in Canada and the hard-working farmers and producers who cultivate it! We’ve been mindful of supporting our local, independent suppliers wherever possible under normal circumstances, but especially so this year. One way is ordering fresh produce straight from your local farms, like the fresh veg + fruit haul
Well friends, we made some holidaying progress this weekend – I finished our Christmas shopping in one swift 1.5 hours swoop (all online & in my PJs – JOMO!) & DadChef laid down the tarp for & did a first flood on our outdoor rink! Now back to what we love most about this season – making all the festive foods & hopefully getting it
Appy December, guys! As heavy as this year has been, it certainly has gone by in a flash. I will not peak your holiday stress more by giving you the countdown, but seriously, I’m feeling a little unprepared. I still have 99% of my Christmas shopping to do, so while it may look like I have my holiday ducks in a row with some of
Freshly picked peaches conjure up nostalgia of a Summer visit out West as a kid and wandering the peach orchard in my Grandparents’ backyard in Kelowna, BC. We’re nearing the end of peach season, but I’m hoping you may have a bunch lingering to give this Peach Pizza with Herbed Ricotta a spin (*the late season variety are best for cooking!*). We made this with a
