Sunday morning… – Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

November 3, 2011 by EmmaEats

Emma loves apples. She eats at least one every day. In fact, probably one of the first phrases she uttered includes an apple a day keeps the doctor away. We made Apple Crumble Pie this week (coming soon to EmmaEats) all due to her love of apples (and not of pumpkin pie which I learned after making it for Canadian Thanksgiving). When it came time for her to choose a breakfast on Sunday morning, I was not surprised when she was […]

Scones - plain, lemon cranberry and pumpkin spice

Hello baby! – Lemon Cranberry Scones

July 22, 2011 by EmmaEats

It has been awhile! I’m happy to be posting again, and happy that you’re here reading. Things at Emma’s have been pretty topsy-turvy as of late — mainly because at the end of June, we welcomed a new member into our family: Katie. That’s right, Emma’s a big sister now. And, the first two weeks after Katie’s arrival lulled me into a false sense of security — and then BAM! she doesn’t sleep consistently anymore, all routines are blown away […]

In between meals… — Chewy Cranberry Chocolate Chip Granola Bars

March 3, 2011 by EmmaEats

Most of our friends (with and without children) are always looking for healthy, portable, easy to assemble snacks. When I was pregnant with Emma, I was looking for the same. I ate many All Bran bars, blueberries, Babybel cheeses and baby cut carrots, and although it satisfied my need to eat constantly, I would have been happier to have a bit more variety. I posted a granola recipe awhile back that is incredibly popular in our household and thought would […]

Happy New Year!

January 5, 2011 by EmmaEats

Incredibly the holidays have already passed by and we are back to our normal day-to-day. Emma pointed this out on Sunday morning when she asked for me to take the reindeer sheets off of her bed and bring back her “non-Christmas” sheets. Once I convinced her that it wasn’t urgent to remove all signs of the holidays that very moment, I asked her what she’d like for breakfast. “Sweet buns,” she replied without hesitation. Emma’s introduction to sweet buns (aka cinnamon […]

All the leaves are brown… — Apricot and Raisin Granola

October 29, 2010 by EmmaEats

Well, fall seems to have arrived with a vengeance. Temperature has dropped nearly 10F everyday over the past few days! I feel as though we need a quick injection of something warm and cinnamon-y in the house. And since Emma’s also been asking (out of the blue, I may add), that she’d really like some granola, I’ve set to work on some. I never really thought I’d be the granola-making kind of girl, although I remember loving the Quaker granola […]

Not for the faint of carb

August 12, 2010 by EmmaEats

My family is a carb-loving family. My daughter could eat pasta for every meal, every day if we permitted it. My husband can eat multiple loaves of bread weekly, and if I had to pick one food to eat for eternity, it would probably be pizza (one cannot sustain oneself on chocolate alone). So imagine the horror when we realized one holiday morning that we had no bread for toast/sandwiches/snacking! Thankfully, after some quick thinking (and searching the cookbooks in […]

Good Morning Sunshine

August 11, 2010 by EmmaEats

We start every morning the same way — Emma wakes up and calls out to my husband, G, and I “Mummy! Daddy! I’m ready!”. This is the indicator that the day is starting, whether we’re ready for it or not. I’m usually not. After some of my own delay tactics (I can hardly wait until someone else wants to sleep in when she hits her teens), we do eventually get moving and it’s on to breakfast. Emma usually is pretty specific […]
