We’re getting back into the groove of things after spring break last week. We had a great week together, ice fishing, sleepover at Nana and Grandpa’s, swimming, playing with friends, and baking with Mom! Kids were happy with their week together, and this Mama was pooped out by the end. […]
It’s still winter here. Cold/flu season, stay in the house and watch movies kind of weather. Today was actually a snow day for my little man. He was thrilled to stay home, although, I did drag him along to playgroup with his sisters. He ended up having a ton of […]
I just started bringing my girls to playgroup regularly again after a loooong break. It feels good to get back into going and the kids are loving it. I’m also enjoying some time to talk to other Moms. It has brought back memories of when we lived in Ottawa. […]
I tried out my Mom’s waffle maker one day and absolutely loved it. I knew I needed to buy my own. I settled on this one, since it was inexpensive. Now I’m wishing I hadn’t cheaped out, and bought the same model as my Mom’s, simply because it is prettier. […]
I love cinnamon. I have always been a huge fan of cinnamon. There’s just something about the sweet spicy flavour that draws me in over and over again. I love medjool dates. Pre AIP, Larabars were my go-to snack. A bar made from dates and nuts, brilliant! Now that I’m […]
Last week I was down with the flu, at least I think it was the flu. Whatever it was, it was awful, and this time I really mean awful and not offal! Fever, cold sweats, then horrible coughing for days…. Just awful! But as with everything in life, I try […]
This tigernut butter is completely nut-free, AIP, Paleo and whole30 compliant and is the perfect spread for those who need to avoid nuts!
YOLO! I know when most people think of food and the term YOLO, they aren’t thinking about a restrictive diet and nomming on organ meat. It’s more like “I’m going to eat this bowl of pasta because…. YOLO!” Or “I indulged in way too much ice cream, but…YOLO!” Now I’m […]
I’m okay not eating desserts that everyone else can eat. I’m even okay watching everyone else eat these desserts in front of me. Seriously, I am okay with it, for realz. BUT when I perfect a treat that I CAN eat, especially an all-time favourite, I get pretty darn excited! […]
This recipe involves two things that I am kind of absolutely obsessed over: Plantains and the Instant Pot. I know I pronounced my love for plantains in my Chewy Plantain Cookie post, and my Instant Pot love in my Rosemary Curried Lamb Rib Stew post, so I won’t get all giddy again […]
My 17 month old is now answering “Me” to any question we ask her:Who wants some offal meat? – “ME!”Who loves veggies? – “ME!”Who is a lil’ nutrivore – “ME!”Who thinks Mama is the best -“ME!”Who’s a perfect little angel? – “ME!”Who used to eat oatmeal for breakfast every single […]
I was never a big fan of biscuits before. I never needed extra bread with my meals. What’s the point of adding bread to a meal that is already complete? You see, that’s how I used to think. Then I gave up grains, and all of a sudden, I was […]
