Tell me you have a can of pumpkin puree to use up from last Fall without telling me you have a can of pumpkin puree from last Fall to use up – I’ll go first 😉 We made a batch of these flavorful White Chocolate Glazed Baked Pumpkin Doughnuts (*adapted from Anna Olson*) and decorated them with some of our favourite Halloween treats & sweet
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
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
Happy May, all! In Foodville, this month is when one of our favourite vegetables starts poppin’ – Asparagus. DadChef and I biked over to our local Farmer’s Market last weekend just to grab a bunch of these green beauties.

How about a culinary escape with our taste buds instead?! Cooking has become a great release & where I center myself in the chaos and perpetual uncertainty this year has brought. I got inspired to change up our usual meal suspects last

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
EAT. PIZZA. LOVE. Since becoming parents, Valentine’s Day at home has been our norm, so this year won’t feel much different in lockdown times. We’ve been making so many lovey dovey themed recipes for the blog this month, we’ll probably take a bit of a break and do a combo meal of part homemade, part take out to show some local love.

Happy Month of LOVE, all! We’re going on our 5th week of e-learning at home. The kids are managing as best they can, but some days we’ve just needed to be online school rule breakers and fun recipe makers instead.
