It’s been over 3 years since hubs & I have spent more than a few hours away from the babes. No longer in the season of babyhood, but now in a season of full calendars filled with kids’ activities and social events, finding time for “US” is tricky. But there was a pocket in the hockey schedule this weekend and we seized it. Thanks
We’re back from a fabulous family holiday, but not so wonderful is the post-vacay sickness takedown we’re being hit with this week. The remedy? Recreating this Turkey, White Bean & Kale soup our gang gobbled up a few weeks back when the weather temps dipped. It’s great as a starter to your Fall dinners, holiday menu or just another to add to your family’s “soup
Our weekends are ruled by the hockey schedule of our boys now, but #DadChef and I are making a deliberate attempt to slow down and unplug on Sunday evenings to actually enjoy making a hearty family meal that isn’t rushed and gather together for an end of weekend family feast (just like Nonna used to insist we do when I was growing up). After a
#DadChef and I promised to put together a collection of silly easy recipes for the Fall just in time for “Mission: Divert Dinner Panic” once full schedules kick back in and this one is at the top of the list – our Easy Peasy No-Meat Pasta Sauce we whip up on repeat for a meatless meal option all-year long. It’s seriously so simple, takes just
If this Summer had a feeling, ‘joie de vivre’ would be a good description (with the usual Summer travel shenanigans 😉). When deciding on where to cap off Summer with the family, so many mentioned Mont Tremblant. And after our very first visit, we can see why – the food, the atmosphere, activities for all tastes, Tremblant really has it all! So, if a visit
We made it through the first week back to school and full schedules, and this 1st weekend of September we’re getting back to batch cooking on Sundays to have some relief during the busy week and to sidestep dinner panic a bit. This Balsamic Glaze Pork + Roasted Veggies recipe is a spin on the Sunday classic roast my own parents used to make using
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
Muskoka is always a fabulous idea during our Canadian Summers, and we’ve just returned from a really fantastic lakefront family resort in the region – Severn Lodge – we’re excited to give you all the deets about. Here are 4 reasons you should add this one to your family getaway list if you’re looking for classic family fun in Muskoka! *Disclosure: Two-nights’ accommodation & meals
It had been 14 years since my last visit to la belle province Québec. Last time a romantic whirl in Montreal with hubs, and before that a Grade 7 class ski trip MANY years ago. This time, an epic mom-son adventure to immerse in an array of activities and soak in some uninterrupted one-on-one bonding time with my oldest I crave being usually tugged in
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.
