When BFF, Jenn (MomVsTheBoys) ask me to literally take the Trudeau Salad Spinner and accessories for a spin; I was more than thrilled! I fell in love with the look of Trudeau when she first posted her chocolate chip muffin recipe using the Trudeau muffin pan. It's bright colour was such a nice change to the metallic look of the standard pans - I'm a sucker for bright colours. When she dropped off the spinner and I saw bright green, I was instantly happy! Cooking should be fun and … [Read more...]

Everything you need to throw a fabulous Hot Wheels birthday party including some Hot Wheels cupcakes that will be the hit of the party!

A quick and easy ice cream cake recipe that you can change up with different flavours every time you make it! Last year my oldest asked for an ice cream cake for his birthday.

To mix things up a bit in the burger department, we gave our regular mayo a little kick this week with the … [Read more...]

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and I mess this up on a fairly regular basis (re: every day). I'm just not a morning person and usually don't feel like eating, plus on school days I spend so much time getting the kids fed and lunches packed, I don't want to head back into the kitchen once they are out the door. I do make up for it at lunch though and my go-to favourite lunch...brunch? is EGGS! On busy days a quick scrambled eggs, with some salsa and cottage cheese … [Read more...]
