    A few words about these muffins before I begin. 1) My daughter requested raspberries, which were only available frozen this time of year, meh results – while the flavour was good, they bled purple juice throughout the muffins. I don’t like the purple streaks. 2) Both kids are annoyed with me for using pecans in the muffins.  Read more >

    Not sure if I should call this a dip or a spread.  All I know it is absolutely yummy!  Full of veggie goodness and with only a dash of oil, it’s low-fat too.  Trust me, the flavour will blow you away – the carrots become incredibly sweet and rich. Not what you would expect from a lowly carrot.  Read more >

    Teaching kids about healthy food is difficult. Kids want to know. My kids ask me all the time – “Is it healthy”? And honestly I have a hard time answering the question. I don't want to label any food as "bad." Guilt and food is just a bad combination and saying "such and such is bad for you" will just cause feelings of regret and guilt when later they indulge. In addition, some foods are healthy if eaten in small quantities – like peanut butter.  Read more >

    This is a hearty snack bread that is great for packing in school lunches.  Ground flax adds texture and fibre. I generally by whole flax seeds and store them in the freezer until I need them.  I’ll grind them in my Magic Bullet – about 1/4 cup at a time – and then store the ground seeds in a small mason jar in the fridge.  Interesting thing about flax seeds – when you grind them their volume increases. 1/4 cup of whole seeds will yield almost half a cup ground.  Read more >

About Me: 

I'm just a mom. I'm a mom who works, a mom who cooks and a mom that tucks her kids in at night. I blog about the balance. The balance between work and family and the laundry.  Mostly, I blog about food. I believe food is powerful. It provides us with nourishment. It grounds us and calms us. It excites us and makes us crazy. Food is to share. Food is to grow. Food is love.
