Sharing my random life is what I do best
In our house, wings are a good go-to dinner idea because they are quick and not that formal. Plus if we’re watching a movie, or just hanging around on the deck, these are great. Plus they aren’t really big for you. They aren’t fried and coated in breading. So in my mind, they are pretty healthy.Read More
I can’t believe it’s October already. This year is flying and I mean flying. I feel like it was just yesterday that we brought Wendy home from the hospital and were trying to figure out this whole mom thing…still working it. As I work on that, I’ve noticed that the days have now become cooler and I’m ready to cozy my way into my blanket with a hot drink. Since Chris loves juices, I figured why not make a hot apple cider with spices.Read More
I’m always trying to find a way to make the foods I love, healthy but flavourful. The hardest time to do it though, it during any major holiday. I mean people get really attached to their favourite holiday comfort foods…like really attached…people like me…So I knew that if I was going to change the way I made sweet potato casserole, I had to make it good. I’m proud to say I found a way!! I cut out the refined sugars, minus the marshmallows. Common now, I couldn’t cut out the marshmallows, but I cut out the rest of the sugars which are usually added.

This is the ultimate fall salad. It has so many wonderful flavours that remind me of the cool weather. I love making it during the season, especially for big holiday feasts. Chris and I love it and he’s constantly bugging me to make it every few days. He says his favourite part of the salad is the Honey Balsamic dressing that I make, I think the whole darn salad is good.Read More
Honesty time, I’m not a fan of raw carrots, especially plain raw carrots. Disgusting. I used to cover them in some sort of dip or I fed them to my dog, Lady. But now that I’m a mama, I can’t really do that anymore….or at least I’m more aware that I shouldn’t do that with a set of little eyes watching me. I want her to eat her carrots so I’ve had to come up with ways to make mine a heck of a lot tastier, ergo roasted parmesan garlic carrots. Read More
Did you know that Nanaimo Bars are a special Canadian treat? It’s named after the city of Nanaimo, British Columbia on Vancouver Island and it’s amazing. So I thought, here why not make a special version of these special treats for Canada Day. So I present you with the Peanut Butter Bacon Nanaimo Bar. It’s by no means healthy or clean but it’s tasty and goes great with a beer. Plus it’ll make you super popular this weekend.Read More
