Time to put the coffee on and settle in for a good read to decide what I’m going to make from this enticing new cookbook. Congrats to @jannisescott1 and @penguinrandomhouse! #oventotable #canadiancookbooks #cookbook Inspired by my latest blog post, 7 Fast, Easy, Family-Friendly Meals, I just made this one-pan meal of chicken, tomatoes and cannellini beans. I used chicken thighs and sadly didn’t have any parsley for a touch of green freshness, but sometimes you just have to go with the flow. Already looking forward to the leftovers! #simplemealideas #simplemeals #familyfriendlymeals Just one of the many reasons I like to shop at #remarkfreshmarkets in #canadaslondon. I bought bananas anyway, but I have Prosecco at home. The best of both worlds 😊 #wordsofwisdom A collection of 7 fast, easy, family-friendly meals, on the blog now. #familyfriendlymeals #mealplanning #cooking Making my own sunshine on a gloomy day. #newrecipecomingsoon #baking #muffins #ldnont #canadaslondon #orangepoppyseed This is me, not breaking any bones this evening (if you know me, you’ll get that). I was going to go play cards. I did my hair. I put on makeup. I changed my clothes. I got 40 feet from my door and discovered the downhill pathway to my car was a sheet of ice. I went back home. Oh well, at least I got out! Stay safe everyone! #icestormontario #homesafe The most popular recipe on the blog right now: Hamburger, Potato & Tomato Skillet Dinner. Fast family food! #fastfamilydinner #hamburgerskilletdinner #fastdinner #fbcigers #canadaslondon I think I may have knocked it out of the park with this one. Chocolate Ginger Granola takes the humble breakfast granola to a new level of indulgence. Recipe just published on the blog — link in profile. #granola #chocolategingergranola #baking #fbcigers #canadaslondon #ldnont A little Saturday morning recipe development ... hope this second version is the charm! Any guesses? #baking #recipedevelopment #muffins
