An easy Cranberry Pumpkin Seed Bark that looks as good as it tastes! When it comes to holiday baking, we definitely have our list of favourites and a simple, classic Almond Bark is a must-have each year for my husband. It's so easy to make and looks very pretty, but after years and years of making the same bark, I decided it was time to mix things up a bit! Inspired by some salty pumpkin seeds we picked up for our salads, I decided to make a festive Cranberry … [Read more...]

This Hot Chocolate Brownies recipe was sponsored by Nestlé. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience. "Mommy, can I have some hot chocolate to feel me better?" How many times have I heard my little guys say this? Countless times. It started around the time my oldest was four and had just started kindergarten, it would often be the first words out of his mouth as he walked in the door from school on a cold winter's day. Soon after, the other boys would pick up the … [Read more...]

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! When summer temps are sizzling, our favourite cool dessert is ice cream and it's so fun to make right at home. We've made a couple different flavours over the past few summers but we had never tried one with a chocolate base before. Seeing the Nesquik packages in the pantry gave us inspiration to Stir Things Up and try a fun Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream this year, and it turned out amazing! Chocolate Peanut Butter … [Read more...]

My husband plus all three of our boys have birthdays within 10 days of each other. Between all the parties with friends and family, it tends to be one big cake fest and we end up sampling every flavour during those days.

Ice cream cake is his most requested cake so this year I decided to 'Stir Things Up' a bit and combine two of his favourites, chocolate … [Read more...]

March Break is right around the corner and my mama brain is busy thinking of things to keep the boys occupied for a whole week straight. The month of February was a busy one for us with two weekend getaways, so even the boys are just hoping for lots of down time. I'm all for sleeping in and movie nights, but if I leave the schedule up to the boys it will be filled with all the electronics, all the time, so I'll still plan some fun activities for us to do together. My boys have … [Read more...]
