Breakfast is one of my family's favourite times of the day. During the weekend, we take the time to prepare breakfast. During the week, as my son has to hop on the school bus at 8:30 am to go to kindergarten, I usually choose something quick. But any day of the week, I make sure our breakfast is delicious, filling, [...]

This year my son is in kindergarten. And this year he and I prepared Valentine cards for each of his 20 class mates. A long process from my point of view (as he is learning how to write), but he enjoyed every second of it. He wrote his name and each classmate's name on each card. We also bought some [...]

The gluten-free wraps we tried were too dry, did not taste good, and were breaking when folding; until we found the winner wrap! It is gluten-free and it has only three ingredients: coconut meat, coconut water, and coconut oil. It has [...]

My son has been asking me for a long time to make him some hot chocolate. One cold day, while my children were playing in the backyard, I made the coconut hot chocolate for them to warm up with when they came inside. Both my children loved drinking it and since then I make the coconut hot chocolate frequently. Is [...]

I freeze one batch and we enjoy the other one for two dinners in a row. On nights when I do not have too [...]
We had a potluck at our house a while back and one of my good friends brought a tray of delicious baked apples. Everybody loved them, so I had to get the list of ingredients. A few days later, I made my own version. My friend’s list of ingredients did not have the amounts, so I improvised. I also removed two [...]
