So what do you do when you make an 8x8 inch pumpkin cake and you finish it off in less than 30 minutes after it came of the oven? You make a double recipe right away! If you don’t, then you are out of your mind and you should call me to help talk some sense into you. Okay, let [...]
If you have been following me for a while, you know how excited I am about Angela’s recipes (and website Oh She Glows). They are healthy, delicious and accompanied by mouth-watering photos that Angela herself takes. She is extremely talented. Angela just released her second cookbook “Oh She Glows Every Day”.

Are you ready for more than 50 healthy and tasty lunch ideas for kids? Me too! But first, I would like to talk (just a bit) about breakfasts. We are known for unusual breakfasts at our house. They are not really unusual for us as my kids are used to them by now ;-) . This is what my kids eat [...]
This cherry banana cake is amazing! Can I please say it again? This cake is amazing! We can’t get enough of it. I made it every week for the last 6 weeks. First, I did a test run to improve the recipe. Then another just because the cake disappeared before our eyes in less than 48 hours. We shared the cherry banana [...]
This summer we planned to go to a few U-pick farms in Alberta (the province where we live). But the summer was rainy and we ended up going to only 2 farms as during many weekends the rain prevented us from leaving the house.

Adding sweet fruits to their smoothies masks the taste of vegetables. The perfect smoothie for a picky eater! When I make smoothies for my family, I load them with as much [...]

When I was growing up I used to spend a lot of time on my relatives’ farms. Spending time on the farm was one of the most fun times of my life. Most of our relatives lived on farms in the North and in the South of Romania. Every summer, my parents and I would pack the car and drive either to [...]
You are probably wondering why “how to choose the best watermelon” deserves a whole post, aren’t you? Let me tell you why. I LOVE watermelon. Like really, really LOVE it, not just like it. I have beautiful childhood memories of eating amazingly sweet watermelon on a farm while visiting my dad’s relatives in the north of Romania. I was born [...]
Poop conversations happen daily at our house. Not because anyone is constipated, but because I like to keep track of every member of my family’s pooping habits. I know, quite glamorous. But you know what, nothing makes me happier than hearing that everybody has easy daily poops. Okay, maybe a trip to Greece would make me happier ;-) . Anyway, pooping is [...]
