Trifle… better than birthday cake

Today I want to dedicate this post to my mom, not only because I love her more than chocolate (and I really LOVE chocolate) but because yesterday was her birthday and I would not be the woman I am today without her. Mom I love you because even on my weakest day you are my…

Cuckoo for Cacao Crunch

I know, I know I have been a horrible blogger lately but I have an excuse; my life has been consumed by school, who knew that Anatomy was going to be a giant pain in my ass, or should I say gluteal. But enough about school, I have a little game I want you all to…

Fish and chips Makeover

You know how certain flavors can take you back to a food memory. For me fish and chips takes me back to a place filled with tartar sauce, tangy coleslaw, crispy French fries and fish galore. You could almost cut the smell of grease in the air with a knife. The booths had the old school flip…

Parsley Pesto Pasta Party

Say that three times fast… As much as I would love to take credit for this bomb ass creation, I need to give credit where credit is due. When I first started out on this joyous journey of health and letting go of pizza buns and beefaroni sandwich (yes I use to eat beefaroni sandwiches)…

Raspberry is the NEW Chocolate

When it comes to indulging or allowing myself a treat I NEED chocolate to be in the mix some way or another. A few years back my sister and I decided to pack up and ship out, we did our very own version of the amazing race only there was no cash prize in the end,…

Hummus… it’s a Smooth Criminal

Olive Oil, sesame seeds and maple syrup, exactly what I needed… More things that I can’t eat. Sometimes I want to punch Aunt Jemima right in the face. Stupid Maple Syrup… No wonder she’s smiling, she can still eat the stuff. For some odd reason I seem to be having a reaction to all of…

Savvy Savoy

Oh hello sunshine… finally we are crawling out of this abyss of cold and our weather has actually reached double digits and stayed there, now we just have to bring on the heat. So I thought in honour of this lovely sunny day that I would celebrate the sun and eat cabbage. Certain foods make…

Breakfast of champions

When I first had the idea of starting up Cow Crumbs and sharing all of my delicious goodies, I was living in what some would call a hobbit village. My home or cottage as I liked to call it was from the 1600 hundreds and it just oozed character. From the skeleton key that would…

Gettin’ jiggy with my figgy

Do you ever notice how certain tastes change as you get older? Certain things you may have loved as a child you wouldn’t eat now if someone paid you. When I was a kid if you had said to me, one day you’re going to LOVE brussel sprouts, I would have thought you were drunk….

Deconstructed Stuffed Mushrooms

There are a few things that I consider guilty pleasures…One of them is watching a show we all love to hate… The Bachelor. Because c’mon, any television show that put 25 single gals in the same house with the hopes of meeting the one is fine by me. But how can you all immediately fall in love…

C is for Cookie

C is for cookie and cookie is for me. Words to live by and it actually reminded me of a funny story when I was first diagnosed. I’ll never forget it, it was literally right after my birthday and I remember thinking to myself; WORST. BIRTHDAY. EVER!!! This was then followed by a why me…

You wish Tim Hortons

Not sure if it was just in our home or maybe I was just lucky growing up, but a box of donuts was a pretty regular event in our household. I can still remember my mom walking through the front door and my eyes would immediately go to her hands, was she carrying the brown,…
