Did you know last Sunday was #nationalcookieday? Not to be confused with #nationalpecancookieday, #nationalchocolatechipcookieday, #nationalsugarcookieday, and #nationalpeanutbuttercookieday (my personal favourite). There seems to be a “day” for literally everything. Did you know there is even a National Day Calendar website to keep track of every unique and special day.? While I don’t need a special day to…

How To: Snack Healthy – Cheddar and Cornmeal Muffins

And it’s not only because of me – my…
How To: Snack Healthy – Peanut Butter Bars
I honestly can’t believe it has taken me this long to share this recipe with you. My husband actually looked at me wide-eyed and exclaimed “You haven’t posted this yet?!” So, my sincere apologies for holding out on you.

How To: Snack Healthy – Applesauce Oat Cranberry Muffins
I may be a bit of a weirdo, but whenever I can get some “me-time” I thoroughly enjoy using it for grocery shopping. Having the time to go up and down the aisles without a child requesting every second food item we pass feels like a luxury. This past weekend, however, that was not the…
