Bone-In Chicken Noodle Soup and a Giveaway

January 29, 2015 by EmmaEats

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 […]

Whole Wheat Gingerbread Pancakes

November 10, 2014 by EmmaEats

Christmas is one of my favourite holidays… And pancakes are the ultimate breakfast for Emma and Katie. Offer them as an option and they will never be rejected. Now that we’re approaching the holidays, all the girls in our house are pleased — these festive pancakes are flavoured with traditional gingerbread spices and fill the house with a delightfully warm aroma. Truly a wonderful way to start the morning. And my little girls would agree! For this recipe, we use an easy-to-make […]

Spooky Mini Turkey Meatball Sliders

October 1, 2014 by EmmaEats

It’s sorta scary. It’s Halloween-y! Incredibly, the month of September has flown by — just as the rest of the summer. Hopefully though, you’ve had a wonderful start to the school year. After a spectacular hiatus with Katie and Emma over their summer vacation, it’s time for me to get back to a routine as well. What better way to get back into the kitchen than to prepare Halloween treats. These meatball sliders are super simple and so much fun. Buy some or all of the components or make them yourself. […]

Braised Lamb Shanks with Red Wine and Vegetables | EmmaEats

Lamb Shanks Braised with Red Wine and Vegetables [Dairy-Free]

February 19, 2014 by EmmaEats

We are one month away from Spring. When the weather is like this, I’m reticent to bundle up the kids and head out in the evenings. Maybe it’s the 4-times-a-day bundle up/dress down that we go through every weekday. Perhaps it’s my own disdain for having to shovel snow every time we step outside this winter. Thank goodness there are foods like this to help us through the snowy, icy coldness that has taken hold. Thank goodness we have something […]

Spanish Chicken and Quinoa [Dairy-Free]

November 7, 2013 by EmmaEats

Are you ready for some comfort food? Fall has arrived and it’s been wet and cold. It is November after all, so I guess it’s no surprise but it has meant a change from hovering out at the barbecue which is what I was doing two weeks ago! This hearty and flavourful dish epitomizes comfort food. It’s quick to put together and infuses the kitchen with a warm spicy aroma as it simmers away. It includes some of the most […]

Spooky Halloween Cupcakes, 3 ways [Vegan]

September 26, 2013 by EmmaEats

Trick or treat! Halloween is a lively time at our house — one year, it warranted three costume changes on the big day. Even before we had a family, it was always a highly anticipated holiday. Hopefully, this year won’t be a triple-costume Halloween (there’s a habit I’d prefer to not encourage) but it doesn’t mean we won’t have some fun! These rich, dark, chocolatey vegan cupcakes and their “costumes” are quick and easy to make. This leads to a […]

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, […]

Quick Udon Soup

March 28, 2013 by EmmaEats

Sometimes you just need to get a meal on the table. Stat. And if it’s fast, flexible and healthy, all the better. This is that meal. Days can go by so quickly with such a wide array of activities on everyone’s schedules. Add in the countless items needing attention around the house and no wonder it feels easy to turn to fast food or other unhealthy options when mealtime comes around. This quick udon soup offers a healthful alternative to those […]

Roasted Turkey and Mushroom Soup

February 21, 2013 by EmmaEats

Do you get a chance to get away during the winter? We’ve been making an effort to do so and this year was no exception. Only with the extremes we’ve seen lately, it’s hard to believe that it’s been just over a week since we were in the sunshine. I’m mildly envious of those people that embrace winter – the skiiers, skaters, snowboarders. You know the ones. They’re energized by the cold temperatures and freshly fallen snow. They don’t mind […]
