The kids are back in school and the autumn feels are in the air. As you know, we’ve been away this summer and are quite excited for all things autumn. From jumping in piles of leaves to layering up (best fashion season!), we’re looking forward to it all. Living in Ontario means that there’s plenty […]
As we come to the last month of our trip we’re starting to think about back to school and as you can imagine, one of the things I was never a fan of was the kindergarten lunchbox prep that needs to happen every single day. I’ve always prepped the lunchboxes the night before and it […]
As you know, I’m always looking for dishes that are not just healthy and easy to make, but also ones that will be enjoyed by kids and adults alike. This is how I discovered my love for Israeli couscous. I first had it at a restaurant and then spent a year trying to find it […]
This year we’ll be in Spain for Easter and I was a bit sad that we’d miss out on some of our favourite Easter traditions. Sure there’s the egg hunt but it’s the treats and the celebration of new life as our extended family gathers together, that I’ll miss most. In typical fashion, I decided […]
If you follow our Instagram stories, you know I love having the kids in the kitchen any chance I get because it’s just one way to keep them from fighting with each other or being glued to their iPads. Little Monkey has always shown an interest in cooking but it was only recently that Baby Boy has […]
This month Gay Lea asked me to share some of my secret indulgences and the first one that came to mind are the “girls nights in” that I end up hosting once a month. Yup! It wasn’t eating in front of the iPad watching Netflix ALL BY MYSELF or enjoying that decadent piece of chocolate with […]
I wish I enjoyed cooking, I really do, because I certainly like to eat. Every time I have a memorable restaurant experience, I think to myself, ‘why don’t I try to replicate this at home’. Yet whenever I find a recipe I think I would enjoy following, I end up a broken man, having usually […]
Christmas definitely arrived early this year and I’ve been ALL about getting in the mood. Toronto has many events and the Christmas trees have been popping up at every corner so the urge to get our Christmas tree up early was strong. As you may recall, we usually wait until December and because we’re spending […]
Remember last month when we took a break to have some fun? Last night was another hard one with Little Monkey and Baby Boy spending most of the late afternoon fighting with each other. Walking through the door after a hard day at the office, the last thing I wanted to hear was them whining and […]
I know summer is over and that the warm blankets and drinks should be gracing us but I’m not ready to give up on Ice Pops/Popsicles and it seems neither do my kids! I recently discovered a delicious way to not only use up all the pumpkin flesh that will be left over from all […]
