Quick, easy Peanut Butter cookies! Perfect for breakfast.

The Diy Almond Milk has been a massive hit at our house. I make a fresh batch every 2-3 days, and the almond pulp was building up in the freezer. I wanted to use it in in something that would get eaten a no-fail type of recipe.

I don't know how it happened, but I LOVE carrot cake everything. I still remember years ago when my sister told me she was baking her husband a carrot cake for his birthday and I joked around that he must have been really bad that year.

Our family loves granola bars; I try to make my own to save money and to avoid unnecessary preservatives. This recipe is simple, quick, and only requires a few ingredients. 

Sunday dinners have always been special to me, I set a lovely table, invite family over, spend hours preparing delicious food and make sure I take at least 10 minutes to take a deep breath and look around my table thankfully.

A few years ago, Anthony and I were lucky enough to get tickets to one of the last Tragically Hip concerts. The only catch was it was in Ottawa. My parents stayed the night to watch the kids and Anthony, and I headed out for a rare two days away. We stayed close to the Parliament Hill in the Lord Elgin Hotel. Located in the lobby or around the corner ( I can't remember) was a Starbucks. The morning after the concert we grabbed a coffee and a muffin. It was my first time having one of those blueberry cake like treasures.

Sundays, are usually spent catching up on laundry, tidying up bedrooms, and baking for the week ahead. School is almost finished for summer break, and I couldn't be happier. I'm tired of figuring out new snacks and creative lunches. I am, however quite proud that I gave my kids a litterless lunch every single day this year. 

Happy Friday, Friends! 

Friday nights are always Movie nights around our house. We get in our jammies, make some snacks, snuggle on the sofa and watch a movie. My kids favourite part is the food. If you're not careful, you can end up spending a lot of your weekly grocery budget on processed crappy food. Kids can still enjoy the traditional treats without the cost or added preservatives. Making these treats at home only adds to the fun family night. 

Over the next few weeks, I'm going to share some of my favourite food DIY's, that save you money, require only a few simple ingredients, and taste better than anything you'll find at the grocery store. 

This lemon delight is perfect for Mother's Day or any occasion this summer. It's simple and beautiful. I did make a glaze with icing sugar and lemon juice, but the organic icing sugar makes it off-white and almost invisible, so I sifted a small amount of icing sugar on time to add some colour.

Anthony has been gluten-free for almost one year, and I still have a hard time with baked goods. I was on the cookie kick for a while, but eventually, the kids were tired of "Daddy's cookies" and requested the ones I used to make.  After the cookie phase, I went into brownies and blondies. Today I decided to experiment with muffins.
