A Family + Lifestyle Blog
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
I don’t know about you, but our Cucina has turned into one, big holiday food workshop over here! We have lots of simple, delicious recipes coming at’cha in the weeks ahead that we think your families will love to make together and enjoy savouring the season with, even amidst the holidays that are looking a lot different this year. Today we’re sharing a super easy

Behind the blog, life wasn’t all yummy recipes & outdoor adventures this week, so you bet DadChef & I turned to one of our healthy coping mechanisms – finding some culinary calm cooking up all the things in la Cucina, silly stupid kitchen dances & a toast to walking through hard parenting things with the biggest glass of Cab Sav ;). We know families are
We’ve had this recipe in drafts for a while now, and I don’t know about you, but this time of year always has me craving comforting pasta dishes. This easy-peasy Tex Mex Pasta Bake is a Taco Night leftover makeover I made using all the leftover taco bar fixings plus a few other simple ingredients. You can file this recipe under “no fuss meals”, because
Our days are turning consistently crisp & cool around here, so queue all the comfort foods, like homemade, hearty soups. I love that you really can’t make a bad batch, recipes don’t have to be exact to be delish, and they’re a great way to use up all the wilting veggies lingering in the fridge. We have lots to share with you as the cold
You know those meals where when you’re eating it, you barely speak to your loved ones because it’s just SO dang good? This One-Pan Butternut Squash + Turkey Gnocchi recipe was one of those dishes. DadChef and I looked at each other wide-eyed knowing the feeling was mutual – this recipe is YUM-aze! It almost feels fancy, but I’ll tell ya, there is certainly
Our Canadian Thanksgiving is days away & it’s usually my favourite holiday. Gather, eat, savour & reflect on things to be grateful for – the simple things really are everything.
