With Canada Day right around the corner and the kids finishing up the last day of school, I think it's safe to say that Summer is officially here! Woot!! Just not having to pack 15 lunches a week is cause for celebration enough for me! I'm looking forward to lazy mornings, sunny afternoons and evenings spent sharing stories on the deck. It's not family time if food isn't involved though right? Families love to gather around the food, and the boys and I have created a super fun dessert that is … [Read more...]

Kraft Peanut Butter Snack Bites
Last month my son and I had a little fun in the kitchen making our own version of the no bake Kraft Peanut Butter Snack Bites. Because we are big chocoholics in this house we decided to dress ours up using Kraft Smooth Peanut Butter and a few layers of chocolate! We called them Triple Chocolate Peanut Butter Snack Bites and they were a big hit both at our house and online!

Apple Zucchini Bread
We are still working our way through our Autumn bounty, can you believe it? I decided to play around with an apple/zucchini combo to kill two birds with one stone and came up with this yummy Apple Zucchini Bread. It's not an overly sweet bread, so my boys who expect chocolate chips in even their banana bread weren't big fans, but it's a nice fall bread that would go well with a cup of coffee, tea or cider! The recipe makes two loaves, which I like, because I just wrap one up to freeze for … [Read more...]
