This Hot Chocolate French Toast recipe was sponsored by Nestlé. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience. Is french toast really french? Turns out it's not. It's actually an old dish that's older than the founding of France itself and the recipe has been around as early as the age of the Roman Empire! In the 15th century the dish was called "pain perdu" or "lost bread" because people would use hard or stale bread as a way of using it up instead of … [Read more...]

This year our garden runneth over with zucchini, literally spilling over the edges of our raised bed and out onto the grass. Blooming with flowers and growing the biggest zucchinis we've seen! For our first year trying zucchini, we were impressed and couldn't wait to taste our bounty! All the boys in my family, including the hubs, are big fans of chocolate zucchini bread, and we made a few to start but I really wanted to try out some new flavours like, lemon!

Do you have a green thumb? I definitely don't, not for house plants anyway, I tend to kill most plants within a week.

It was a lot of fun growing our own food and a great learning experience for the boys so I was eager to plant again this spring. This year we decided to try out some zucchini and boy did we grow some nice big ones! We harvested 3 biggies late this summer … [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?"

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...]

"Boys, stop playing with your food!" Who else is guilty of shouting that one out at the kiddos while they mess around with their lunch? This weekend was totally different when I surprised the boys with Whippet Sticks for a fun afternoon snack. The stick like shape of Whippets are just perfect for playing around with and the boys didn't hesitate to break into a light saber battle with theirs. When they caught me watching them from the other side of the room they looked a little guilty, but … [Read more...]

This post is in partnership with Canadian Turkey, I have been compensated to share this recipe and Thanksgiving tips with you. All opinions on this blog are my own. Even though summer's warm temps seem to be hanging on a little later this year, we can tell by the changing leaves that fall is indeed here. After the cool and rainy start to summer we had, I don't think anyone is complaining and it's always nice to visit the orchards, pumpkin patches and fairs with nice weather. The … [Read more...]
