When Jessica Seinfeld’s first cookbook came out Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food I remember thinking why would you need to trick your kids to eat good food??? You’re the adult they’re the child they eat it or they don’t get up from the table. That’s how we did it….

Everyone seems to have a preference when it comes to sleeping. Left side, right side, window open, heated blanket, teeny-tiny night light, bat cave dark, maybe even a little white noise in the background. For me I need black out darkness, I don’t even want to see my hand in front of my face. AND…

There have been a few times in my life where I felt that I knew where I was going, thought that I was on a pretty clear path to my future. But life has a funny way of changing when you least expect it. A few of those forks in the road have put me…

I think out of all of the holidays Thanksgiving is one of the BEST. Turkey with roasted root vegetables, petits pois (that’s French for DELICOUS) and of course it wouldn’t be thanksgiving without stuffing and pie. People always tend to think that the bird is the showstopper but it’s what’s shoved inside that really counts….

There are three reasons why I like the fall; one because the leaves are amazing and it makes me want to be outside. Two the fashion is so stylish, scraves, boots, knee high socks, lots of layers… LOVE. Sometimes less is NOT more. And three because root vegetables complete me. You know that scene in…

Twinkies, Pop Tarts, Jos Louis, Bugles, they all have one thing in common, they immediately bring me back to my childhood. And let’s not forget the square dish of sugary gelatinous jello that used to make an appearance on occasion, but for the most part snacks were made from scratch. Like rice krispie squares. It was one…

Lately I can’t seem to get enough zucchini, raw with hummus, spiralized into pasta, sautéed with coconut oil. Ooooo that last one is good one. But the one thing I’ve never tried my hand at is zucchini bread. If I’m being perfectly honest the idea has never really appealed to me. Zucchini… in bread… sounds…

I have this thing that I do on a nightly basis, after dinner no matter how full I am I have to have a treat, it’s the fat kid in me. That being said a very wise friend of mine once explained that dessert has a completely separate compartment in your stomach so there will…

When I was younger eating fish was on par with eating liver and onions. Sorry for all you liver lovers out there but ewwww grossy. Lucky for me, in my old age I have learnt to love Nemo & Friends and it is now a part of my weekly meal rotation. I would still rather eat dirt…

Remember when you were a kid and after school you would get home and your house smelt like the Pillsbury dough boy was just there? I always loved those days, especially when the scary looking bananas that were on the counter that morning were now gone. Because nothing makes a better after school snack then scary…

Do you ever stop and wonder where a craving comes from? Yes I know they say that if you crave chocolate you need magnesium, or if you crave salt you could be deficient in chloride or silicon, but what about if you crave something south of the border??? I remember back in my Sheridan College days…

I find I tend to be a bit of a creature of habit when it comes to the way I eat, and to be perfectly honest I think it’s a trait I’ve inherited from my father. My dad tends to go on these food kicks and eat the same thing day in and day out,…
