Christmas Gift Guides

I can’t believe it’s already November 1st. Geez, Louise did this year ever fly by. Guys, there’s only two more months left in 2017, crazy. And it’s also gift-giving season. The Holidays are my absolute favourite time of the year. Snow falling, cool weather, Santa visits, and of course, gift giving. Let it be said, I enjoy giving gifts more than receiving. I mean, it’s really nice to receive gifts, and I’m definitely grateful all of it, I just enjoy watching people eyes light up when I give them something that they wouldn’t get for themselves or something that they absolutely wanted or needed so much more. There is such joy in it, which is why I always donate toys to toy drives, food to food drives, surprise people with gifts from “Santa”, etc. It truly makes me happy to make others happy. BUT I also know that sometimes it’s not easy to figure out that perfect gift for that special somebody. Trust me, it’s taken me years to figure out the perfect gift for some people in my life, but now, I don’t want to brag but I’ve nailed gift giving.Read More

Pancetta Cranberry Brussel Sprouts

So up until a few years ago, I was not a fan of brussel sprouts…not surprising, I’m generally not the kind of person who prioritizes her veggies, especially when there are carbs on my plate, but I’m slowly changing that. Anyways, brussels sprouts weren’t really a thing I enjoyed eating until I added some extra ingredients that made it a dish I couldn’t resist anymore. Introducing the brussel sprouts and pancetta aka bacon!Read More

Healthier Sweet Potato Casserole

I’m always trying to find a way to make the foods I love, healthy but flavourful. The hardest time to do it though, it during any major holiday. I mean people get really attached to their favourite holiday comfort foods…like really attached…people like me…So I knew that if I was going to change the way I made sweet potato casserole, I had to make it good. I’m proud to say I found a way!! I cut out the refined sugars, minus the marshmallows. Common now, I couldn’t cut out the marshmallows, but I cut out the rest of the sugars which are usually added. Read More

Apple Pecan Salad with Honey Balsamic dressing

This is the ultimate fall salad. It has so many wonderful flavours that remind me of the cool weather. I love making it during the season, especially for big holiday feasts. Chris and I love it and he’s constantly bugging me to make it every few days. He says his favourite part of the salad is the Honey Balsamic dressing that I make, I think the whole darn salad is good.Read More

Thanksgiving

So I kinda sorta maybe forgot that Thanksgiving is this weekend. Bad Canadian….also busy mama. Between appointments, chasing after Wendy, and just tiredness, I’ve really been dragging behind on my organization….my poor Erin Condren LifePlanner is gathering dust right now….

Forgetting about a major holiday is rather new to me, I love Thanksgiving and fall so I couldn’t just skip over it without at least trying to put together a small dinner for my family. So when Chris drove past a Real Canadian Superstore and saw an ad for a free ham, I made him jump on that! Not that it took much convincing. So with a 10.5 lbs ham, I had to figure out some of the other details quickly.

I literally decided we would have Thanksgiving dinner at 9 am, quickly went through the stuff I had at home, bought groceries, and started cooking at 1 pm. Dinner was scheduled for 6 pm and I’m happy to say I pulled it all off, on a budget.Read More

Hi Friends,

If you know me, then you know I’m obsessed with all things Disney, especially Disney World. So during the holidays, as I was surfing through Instagram, I found a totally new to me subscription box called Mickey’s Mystery Box. I had never heard of this box before, but they were offering a special Christmas box and I just couldn’t say no.Read More
