This traditional East African dish is a staple in our house. It is one of the first dishes I learned to make from my mom and can also be made in less than 30 minutes.

Sometimes as moms you’ve gotta be a bit sneaky. We’re always looking for fun & new ways to get our kids to eat those veggies .. right? These tots will fool everyone in the house. My kids still think they’re made with potatoes and I’m totally fine with that! These are super easy to make and are great for school lunches, as a side with dinner, or as an after-school snack.

In came the idea of “Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls”. I’ve tried them a few times at health food stores and often wondered ‘how hard would it be to make a batch of my own’? Plus, Reese’s Peanut...
Looking to kick your meals up a notch? I‘ve been adding this green chutney to just about everything! It’s got such a nice mix of spice and flavour and adds a tasty kick to whatever you’re having. In addition to using it as a topping/dipping sauce, I’ve also been adding it into my marinades and curries as well as combining it to yogurt when I’m making ‘raita’ to get some of that delicious flavour. The secret ingredient here is the coriander. This chutney lasts for week, so it’s just the thing when you’ve got a bunch or coriander lying around in the fridge, threatening to go brown. Green ChutneyIngredients:1 small bunch Coriander5-6 Green Chillies2 cloves Garlic1 tsp Cumin Seeds2 tbsp...
