Burritos (Good for Freezing)

Before Fiona was born we cooked and froze a whole lot of food to have for the post-partum period. It was one of the best ideas ever. I highly recommend it to anyone who is pregnant if you have a deep freeze. We filled ours to the brim (the picture below was before we [...]

Pad Thai

This is a recipe my friend Debbie shared with me, and it is so delicious. We have had it numerous times since she shared it, so I thought I would post it here so it will be easier to find (rather than searching through the depths of my Facebook messages). 2 [...]

Making butter

Butter and buttermilk

A friend gets raw milk from a local farm, and they have lots of extra this time of year, so we took a bottle to try out. Though I am confident Kris and Meredith at least, and Fiona likely, are allergic to the store-bought, processed milk, I do wonder if raw milk would be [...]

September Favourites

Napping together after a long night

I used to read another blog that did something similar to this every month or so, though I don’t remember whose it was. Every month there are always posts someone else writes that are particularly funny or thoughtful or that just say something that I could say in better words than I ever would. [...]

“Hiding” Vegetables

We did baby-led introduction to solids with Meredith, and will do the same with Fiona. Proponents say that this method of introducing foods is more natural and that kids are less likely to be picky about what they eat. One of the keys is to offer variety. I find this part hard sometimes. For [...]

Fight Back Friday

I recently came across the Food Renegade blog when a friend sent me the link to the book she wrote thinking I might be interested in it (I was, in fact when she comes out with her one for kids I may get one or both of [...]

Dairy-Free Nanaimo Bars

My mom made me a little cookbook with all my favorite recipes when I moved away from home. The other day Meredith had it out and was looking at it, and she brought it over to me opened to the recipe for Nanaimo Bars. Of course, then I couldn’t get them [...]

Oatmeal Apple-Raspberry Crisp

I spent the morning baking apple cinnamon muffins and oatmeal apple-raspberry crisp, both to freeze. While searching for my apple crisp recipe I realized I’ve never shared it here and it’s one of my favorites, so here it is! No pictures again, since I haven’t actually baked it this time. I’ve substituted the brown [...]
