No-Bake Healthy Chocolate Chip Bites, 2 ways

October 16, 2014 by EmmaEats

So much to do, so little time. The girls and I took a lot of time off over the summer. Our aim was to squeeze as much fun into summer together as possible. At some point near the end of the school year, I suddenly became very conscious of the changes come September. Our littlest one was flying the coop, so to speak, and that triggered something in me: a need to appreciate the growth, maturity, new perceptions and reactions of the girls. […]

Fun Ways for the kids to say Happy Mother's Day | EmmaEats

5 Ways to wish Mom a Happy Mother’s Day – with a little help from the kids

May 6, 2014 by EmmaEats

The sweetest Mother’s Day gifts tend to be homemade. It’s soon to be Mother’s Day and there are suggestions everywhere about all the things that Mom could want. Although it is always appreciated, many thoughtful gifts feel like they just add to the already insurmountable piles of stuff around the house. Then again, something personal, creative and handmade by her little darlings is a different story. Knowing the effort and love poured into something fashioned by the hands of children makes a lasting impression, even if the gift isn’t intended […]

Meyer Lemon Blueberry Muffins, 2 ways

May 6, 2014 by EmmaEats

Bring mum breakfast in bed with these fresh and healthy Vegan or Classic Meyer Lemon Blueberry Muffins. They are surprisingly light and fluffy even though they are made with whole wheat flour and are just delectable. Tips and Suggestions: Easily convert this to a conventional rather than vegan recipe. Substitute one large egg for the ground flaxseed and water, skim milk in place of the rice milk and butter in place of the coconut oil. No Meyer lemons? Substitute regular lemons. […]

Hot Cross Buns, 2 ways – Vegan and Traditional

April 2, 2014 by EmmaEats

You need to make these right away. Hot Cross Buns. They are as much of an Easter tradition as the Easter bunny and painted eggs. Although I didn’t try them until well into adulthood, Emma was born a fan of hot cross buns. I had intentions of making them for years but my aversion to working with yeast (I’ve gotten past that now – see here, here and here) and the raisins (she loves them, I don’t) has always resulted instead with us picking […]

Sky High Spelt Breakfast Biscuits

February 27, 2014 by EmmaEats

Often with children in the house, someone can feel left out. It’s not always the same person feeling left out either. Mum is cooking or tidying while the kids are wrestling with Dad, big sister is busy doing homework while little brother is colouring or Dad is at work while Mum takes the kids on an outing. Do you sometimes feel like the one missing out on the fun? In our family, the girls certainly influence a lot of what […]

The Ultimate Granola Bar [Vegan, Gluten-free]

February 4, 2014 by EmmaEats

We love to snack. What’s it like in your household? Are you snackers or is there one among you? Katie certainly is. When she’s on the move, which is always, she’s happiest when she has something delectable within easy reach. Emma loves to feel prepared for anything and so, in addition to tissues, hand sanitizer, spare books, an extra pencil and eraser, she often has a snack (or two!) in her school bag to enjoy during recesses. All this snacking […]

Soft Breakfast Cookies, 2 ways [Vegan]

September 5, 2013 by EmmaEats

We haven’t the best track record for getting to school on time. For three years running. Summer was truly a wonderful time for our household. The girls and I leisurely wandered from outing to outing, meeting friends and casually making our way through our days. So easy. So relaxed. Here we are now, along with many of you, a week into back to school and adapting to a new routine. We’re doing well so far. What’s made the difference? First, […]

Oatmeal Spelt Banana Bread, 2 ways [Vegan or Dairy-Free]

August 15, 2013 by EmmaEats

The first day of school will be here in a flash. Truth be told, I’m not ready for the first day of school quite yet. And, I’m pretty certain Emma isn’t either. How about you? Are you and the kids ready to call it quits on summer vacation already? Since the first few days of school will be rather bittersweet, I’m hoping to ease the bitterness with a few treats including these ever popular spelt crust pizza buns and this banana […]
