Chris and I recently attended an LG Kitchen event hosted by Rick Campanelli and Chef Chuck Hughes (Yup! Those guys on TV!) where we picked up a few tips and tricks for whipping up a quick kid friendly but delicious dinner. If you watch my Instastories you know that I’m all about the quick dinners, […]
Summer has finally arrive in Toronto, or at least we’re pretending it has since our condo’s rooftop has opened for the season. If you follow our Instastories you know that I absolutely LOVE hanging up on our rooftop because I get to entertain friends without having to clean my house, Chris does the actual cooking […]
As much as we love our downtown Toronto condo life, I do miss having access to a large kitchen and an unlimited number of kitchen gadgets. I suppose it’s one of the many reasons I love visiting my parents in Niagara on the Lake! As you know, I do enjoy cooking and while I do […]
Little Monkey turns 6 today!!! Birthdays are always a big celebration at our place but the kids’ birthdays definitely draw the most attention. Grandparents who live in Nova Scotia and grandparents who live in Niagara on the Lake will all be arriving to our place this afternoon for a weekday celebration as Little Monkey had […]
A couple weeks ago, I was invited to an event at the Distinctive Appliances showroom called “Fried Chicken in the Kitchen”, hosted by Canola Oil and one of my favourite Toronto chef personalities, Matt Basile.

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 […]
