If you look up ‘comfort food’ in a dictionary, I’m pretty sure that you will see a picture of French Onion Soup. Is there a better dish to serve on a cozy fall day? I think not. While spending a weekend at our family cottage I was bound and determined to serve up my best…
Cherry Citrus Oat Bran Muffins
Back to school is right around the corner (gulp!) and my mom brain is already thinking of school lunch ideas and healthy snacks for Max and Charlie. These cherry muffins are moist and not too sweet with a touch of citrus and a healthy dose of fibre… not that you can tell!
Chocolate Banana Olive Oil Cake (GF option)

Basil Pesto
This classic basil pesto recipe is a staple in our house! We grow so much basil that making pesto is a must, and it freezes well without the parmesan. Simply follow the recipe but leave out the parmesan, put into small plastic containers and drizzle a bit of olive oil on top before placing the…
