We had a fun visit to our local Farmer’s Market this weekend and picked up some fresh local fruit, veg & goodies, including a new bunch of peaches, which are at peak season right now. They don’t last long around here, but I do try to incorporate them into our meals if I can snag a few away. Now, there are two types
Summer Meals Simplified with Summer Fresh We’ve just enjoyed our first Canadian long weekend of Summer up at the family cottage. While the lakeside views and crisp fresh air are unlike any other, let’s be real, cottaging with kids is A LOT of work. Two full days of prepping and packing and a whole lot of extra to think about once you’re up there
Spring recipes are tastiest with local, seasonal veggies, and some of the best include now in-season asparagus! Sharing our simple Asparagus Frittata Recipe today! With Italian roots, Sundays were always a day filled with slow, savoury cooking and enjoying time with loved ones. Whether it was watching my Nonna cook up her Sunday lunch specials with love, or my Dad make breakfast/lunch with local ingredients
While we’ve been waiting for Spring to, well, spring around here (we may be skipping it altogether here in the Toronto area and going straight to Summer!), #DadChef and I have been trying out some Spring-y recipes. In lieu of heading to a busy restaurant for Mom’s Day, I’ve already given the fam a nudge that a quiet, simple celebration at home enjoying some of
We aren’t hosting Easter this year, so brunching in our PJs most of this long weekend it will be! I shared this easy peasy, No-Bake Easter Brownie dessert on IG stories last year and it was a big hit, so thought I’d give it a respectable place on the blog. I love to cook, but I’m definitely #NotABaker, so this super easy, 2-Step Easter treat
With a lighter hockey schedule this weekend, and finally clearing out the flu bug that plagued our littles last week, #DadChef and I had fun cooking up our Valentine’s Day recipe we’ve been promising you guys. No matching couples’ tees this time, but we snagged the kids matching aprons for kicks – they weren’t amused 😉 When we polled you on IG stories, it was
After a few weeks of indulging to the max (it was the holidays…we celebrated, and that entails ZERO guilt or punishment), it felt good to get back to healthy eating this weekend. And since you know how much I love sharing cooking hacks, I will declare my new-found love of sheet-pan cooking! After weeks of drooling over recipes in the LCBO Food & Drink
For those of you who’ve followed our blog and channels for a while, you know “zah” is kind of a big deal around here and “Pizza Night” is a regular one in our dinner rotation. I’ve also shared how I’m committing to a healthier lifestyle this year in partnership with Weight Watchers Canada, so spending the day with the WW Canada’s Chef Tyler and cooking
Disclosure: I have partnered with YMC and Turkey Farmers of Ontario and have received compensation for this post. All opinions are my own. With the arrival of warmer temps (finally!), we’ve been spending tons of time outdoors poolside, and savouring a slower, simpler pace of life outside of hockey season. We’re loving dining al fresco and firing up the grill to keep meals quick and easy.
With Valentine’s Day around the corner, we thought we’d share our favourite heart-inspired, super-easy family meal idea. Gone are the days where we seek out a fancy restaurant, and instead opt to have a simple, but special affair at home with the kids. And when I say simple, I mean easy-peasy, under 20 minutes to prep + cook simple 😉 And what’s the way to
