Our broken oven saga has finally come to an end! After going back and forth too many times to count with a kitchen appliance company that shall remain nameless and too many weeks of frustrations, our oven is finally in working condition.

How To: Snack Healthy – Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins
My 2 year olds new favourite activity is sitting on the counter and “helping” me cook. I use the term “helping” loosely as I usually end up with an extra scoop of flour in the bowl, and all over my counter. Now, I love getting her in the kitchen and cooking or baking is the…

How To: Healthy Breakfast – Lemon Blueberry and Oat Breakfast Cookies
Mondays are rough! Mondays after daylight savings – even rougher. What can we do to make this better? Have cookies for breakfast. It definitely was not easy to get out of bed this morning. Granted, it’s not easy any morning but something about losing that one hour of sleep really hits me hard….
