This non-recipe recipe is so simple, it nearly never made it here. Make them for movie night, make them for Super Bowl…you decide when, but just make them. You won’t be disappointed.

Anyone can cook. The temperatures have been a little colder, G’s hours have been a little longer and extra-curricular activities have been keeping the girls busier than usual. All of these factors together have made us committed to our Friday family movie night more than ever. A short while ago, we watched Ratatouille. Around the same time, Thomas Allen & Sons (@ThomasAllenLTD) provided me a copy of Mark Bittman’s book How to Cook Everything Fast. As I casually flipped through it, a […]

Mission: India is underway. I’ve been actively working at including a variety of flavours at our family table. Indian food has been one of the latest area of exploration and my efforts are paying off. Just this week, Emma asked for these lamb lollypops all the while emphasizing how much she loved them. This chicken masala pizza seemed a fun way to introduce a popular Indian dish while still working within the comfort zone of the kids. Pizza is, after all, a […]

We’ve been somewhat fortunate compared to some of our friends with children. Emma’s always enjoyed flavorful foods without much persuasion. Don’t get me wrong, she has her moments. In fact, one of her beloved dishes is pasta with peas, a splash of olive oil and freshly grated parmesan. But, she’s also willing to delve into some adventurous territory too – Japanese beef curry, sushi, chicken paprikash, and this dish, which I affectionately refer to Emma’s Enchiladas. Technically, they’re not actually enchiladas and […]

A favourite Emma outing is a run to the Ontario Science Centre. She could spend days there playing with her friends, visiting the various exhibits, staring at the stars in the planetarium and wandering outside in their courtyards. All that activity leads to her developing a major appetite and her go-to treat in their cafeteria is spaghetti and meatballs. The last few times we’ve visited has been after the cafeteria has closed for the day unfortunately. And so, to make […]

We’re back from our trip to Florida and it is suddenly cold here. I know you probably aren’t feeling too sympathetic to my complaint especially since we were warm and basking in the Florida sunshine merely days ago. But now we are cold, have finally seen some snow (which turned to freezing rain and then melted again) and are being treated to a not-so-nice few days forecasted ahead. Emma’s take on things here: “Mummy, our garden looks terrible. It really needs […]

My husband came home yesterday and he was broken. I should start this by saying he is normally unshakeable and it takes a lot to finally push him to the point where he will say he’s had enough. Emma sensed things weren’t as they usually are with her daddy and turned to him (after planting a few wonderful kisses on his face) and said “Don’t worry Daddy. I know you’ll feel better.” In an attempt to help things along, Emma […]
