There are very few foods which are better than cheese and wine, especially when you are celebrating the season of parties and friendly get-togethers. I also know how impressive a good cheese board can be. For some reason, many people find them really complicated to put together. I know I felt that way once. At one point I didn’t even know what cheeses I should put on the board or even what board I should use. I really overthought this whole process. Then I stopped overthinking it and realized I had access to a pretty good source on cheese and deli boards, my mom. She used to work as a manager for a high-end grocery store in the deli and cheese department. She spent years recommending cheeses and meats and putting together beautiful cheese boards for some fancy people. So I asked her for some tips and advice on putting one together.Read More

Last Minute Thanksgiving Ideas
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

Homemade Baby Food: Sweet Potato Pie
Feeding Wendy all kinds of food is probably my most favourite thing about dinnertime as a mom right now. I love that I can be creative in the kitchen and she’ll pretty much eat anything I give her, even when she makes a face of disgust. I know it won’t last long or can change in an instant but for now, I quite enjoy itRead More
