Slow Cooker Beef Stew Recipe
One of my fav tips for back to school season is to make dinner – school lunch once a week. That’s right – make dinner – pack the leftovers – and school lunch is taken care of for tomorrow (one less thing is always good n’est pas?!). I’m sharing my Slow Cooker Beef Stew Recipe…
Dempster’s Healthy Ways Bread
As a Mom who tries to offer the best nutritional choices for her kids (it’s doesn’t always happen – sometimes you have to indulge in an ice cream cone right?!) thus I am always on the look out for new ways to switch up their regular foods. Introducing Dempster’s Healthy Ways Bread – it’s a new…
Steak, tomato, and lettuce wrap
Too hot to cook and too much fun to want to leave the back yard to spend even an hour in the kitchen..I had an idea to bbq dinner with a twist…this Steak, tomato, and lettuce wrap. It was easy, healthy, and oh so yum! They are so good…you will want to eat at least two! Oh…
Valentine’s Day Chocolate Cupcakes
Ok since the afternoon I made these Valentine’s Day Chocolate Cupcakes with my son…I have been asked for “heart cupcakes” ever since. Big hit in the Valentine’s-Day-Activity department!

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipe
I love the activity of baking. And my kids have a long tradition of dragging a chair across the floor to the kitchen counter – climbing up -and rolling up their sleeves to bake with me. They don’t even ask now. Drraaaggg and voila I see a chair and little helper magically appear the moment…
Making Packed Lunches

It teaches them about eating well as well as fueling their bodies for their busy school days. In making packed…
Easy Applesauce Muffins
Some recipes are memorized simply because they are so easy. This is one of them. My easy applesauce muffins are dense, moist, and yes…a bit healthy (wheat bran, ground flax…it is good to make fibre your friend!). Great for a grab n’ go breakfast, mid-day snack with a cup of tea, or after-school treat. You’ll…
Slow Cooker Mac N’ Cheese
You read that right. Slow. Cooker. Mac. N. Cheese. And it’s awesome. I invented it last week and it was so well received that I made it again (in the same week – the kids were asking for it!). Crunchy on the top, creamy in the middle, and a great week night meal…I think you…
