This was a summer of delicious peaches for us here in Ontario. We’d buy them by the basket and eat them every chance we got. They were sweet, juicy and just a perfect way to beat the heat. We ate peaches on their own, mixed into smoothies, on top of yogurt and with ice cream! I’d been meaning to make a Peach Crisp all summer long but only got around to it just recently. It was the perfect way to enjoy the last of the summer peach season and to give our summer a sweet and nutty send off!I promise you this Crisp will be a hit in your house. The kids asked for seconds and thirds :) It’s a...
Wanna know the trick to getting your kids to eat something? Easy! Just put it on a stick! But seriously, these Lamb Kebobs disappeared in 5 minutes flat, they didn’t even make it to the dinner table. Super moist and full of flavour, these kebobs are a perfect protein packed meal! They might even get the pickiest eater in your gang to try out some new flavours. So go ahead, get your hands a little dirty and make these for the fam! They will thank you for sure! Ingredients: 1.5 pounds of Ground Lamb (or you could do a Lamb-Beef mix) 1 medium Red Onion 4-5 large cloves Garlic 1 tbsp Ginger, pureed 1 cup Coriander or Parsley 1-2 small...
I’m always looking for quick simple recipes to have on hand as ‘after school snacks’ for the kids and myself :) I want something that we can just grab on our way out the door that’s yummy, filling and that will give us energy. These banana oat cookies totally hit the spot! It’s a great way to use up those super ripe bananas you’ve got lying around when you’re not in the mood for banana bread. I can quickly whip these up and they’ll be ready in less than 20 minutes! The kids love them for breakfast too! Ingredients:Cookies2 super ripe bananas2 cups old fashioned oats1/2 cup natural peanut butter1 tbsp maple syrup1 tsp vanilla1/2 tsp sea salt1/3 cup semi...
The kids were playing in the other room while I was making this pesto. All of a sudden they went really quiet, and a moment later they both walked into the kitchen to ask what smelled so good! I’m telling you, make this pesto and your kitchen will smell like Italy! Fresh basil and cilantro, garlic and olive oil .. these flavours were just meant to be together! The best thing is that you can add it to to everything .. pastas, zoodles, salads, wraps and I even used it to marinate my chicken and salmon! :) Traditional pesto calls for just basil, but I always have so much cilantro in the fridge that I thought this would be a...
These are some of the best “clean” brownies I’ve ever made! Deliciously chocolatey and oh so moist. They take no time at all to whip up and are definitely kid approved! I’ve tried different recipes for brownies before, but I especially love how this one is super simple and clean .. and still tastes delicious! I get the feeling this recipe’s gonna become a staple in our house (I’ve already made 2 batches in the last week) and it could become one in yours too :) Ingredients:½ cup Hazelnut Butter3 large Eggs ½ cup Maple Syrup1 tbsp Vanilla1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar½ cup Cacao Powder½ tsp Sea Salt½ tsp Baking Soda½ cup Almonds (you could use chocolate chips or any...
