The great thing about traditions is that they can ebb […]
Tasty Taco Sliders #Recipe Will Make Entertaining Easy With #OldElPaso #LetsTacoBoutIt
During the holidays we have often found ourselves having friends and family over, sometimes at the last minute. It used to be a struggle to think of putting a meal together that would feed everyone and not look like it came out of a take out box, but then we started thinking outside that box. […]
Oatmeal Pancakes – A New Family Favourite #Recipe
I have the perfect thing for you to make for Sunday brunch this weekend – oatmeal pancakes! Apparently, oatmeal pancakes are not the amazing new discovery I thought they were, but they come pretty close. At least for my family they do. We have never had, nor heard of, oatmeal pancakes before, until my hubby made them […]
Let’s Taco Bout It and Bring Old El Paso Back To Your Dinner Table
Now that my kiddos are getting older, with the newly minted teen acting like she is 25 and the seven year old just being a seven year old, I have found we can expand their palates a little bit. This means we get to add a little more variety to our meals, maybe even some […]
#ShareTheTable This #FamilyDay With Barilla Pasta and Chef David Rocco

Canadians Rejoice! Reese Spreads Are Here!! #DoYouSpoon #Giveaway 10/14
In my family it is no secret what my absolute favourite sweet treat is – Reese Peanut Butter Cups. I have loved them for many years, but alas, like all good things, these babies need to be consumed in moderation. After all it wouldn’t look very good if you have gobs of these little guys […]
Easy Peasy Cheesy Cheesecake! #Recipe

What To Do With Your Leftover Easter Chocolate: A Recipe
I am sure my household is not the only one to have leftover Easter chocolate coming out of your ears, right? Now usually the words ‘leftover’ and ‘chocolate’ would not be uttered in the same sentence by moi, but this year I am trying to be good for my waistline’s sake the kids sake. Every […]
