Bringing Families Together Through Food

March 14, 2018 by Leslie Kennedy 16 Comments

It’s always been my goal to eat dinner together as a family, but our busy lives have gotten in the way. My husband gets home late. My kids are picky. It’s just been easier to feed them before my husband gets home and prepare a more elaborate meal for him and me to eat later. March is Nutrition … [Read more...]

Mealspirations! What I need right now!

February 6, 2014 by Sonya Leave a Comment

Do you ever get stuck in a rut when it comes to cooking for your friends or family? I'd like to think I have time to plan out my meals for a week. I have a friend that does that and I admire her ability to be so darn organized. I'm not that way. I find I'm always rushing or sometimes I'm just … [Read more...]

RECIPE: Kimchi Chahan (Japanese Fried Rice)

January 23, 2014 by Sonya Leave a Comment

I've been obsessing over this dish ever since we had inhaled a dish of it at a small Japanese ramen spot at Sapporo  in New York this past December. I had ordered my usual ramen noodle bowl but hubby ordered Kimchi Chahan (Japanese Fried Rice) I couldn't get enough of it. The dish is so simple yet … [Read more...]

About Harissa Spice

October 17, 2013 by Sonya 2 Comments

I had first tried the Harissa spice this past spring at an event at the President's Choice test kitchen and I couldn't get my mind off it. Our family, yes even the kids, love spicy foods. Thank goodness. I discovered this delicious blend and waited anxiously for it to arrive at my local grocers. … [Read more...]

Weekday Go-To Dinners

September 25, 2013 by Jason Leave a Comment

The picture above is not part of my weekday meal planning. My sister is a way healthier cook than I am, so she gets credit for the beautiful summer salad that I blatantly used to draw you into reading my post. Shall we begin? I am primarily responsible for the food in our household.  I do most … [Read more...]

Ya, you know me and those points cards.

May 13, 2013 by Sonya 2 Comments

A few days ago I was grocery shopping at my local Loblaw store. I was excited (not just to replenish my tortilla chips and salted caramel ice cream) but I had just downloaded the new PC PLUS app onto my mobile device. I had recently learned about this newly launched rewards program and it caught my … [Read more...]

I Just Wanted Some Pasta Vongole…

February 26, 2013 by Tracey

It all started when I noticed fresh littleneck clams in the seafood counter at my grocery store on Sunday. I seldom shop with a list that really needs attention, since I do most the shopping and  cooking - I know what's in our fridge. I read the circulars, checking the specials at my local places, … [Read more...]

What a Crock.

September 26, 2011 by Amanda

After a five-year maternity leave, I went back to work last week. It's a huge adjustment and we're all trying our best to find our ways through the changing waters, but it's exciting all the same. One thing that's become crystal clear, however, is that I am going to have to ramp up my organizational … [Read more...]
