It’s a nice quiet Sunday at my house today. The baby is asleep, the girls are out with daddy, and I’m left in a peaceful kitchen to whip up some food for baby. I’ve been wanting to add more protein options into his foods because he’s mostly been getting fruits and veggies when feeding himself. … Continue reading Turkey Meatballs for Baby Led Weaning
I just finished up another baby food frenzy over here, making enough food (pureed and finger foods) to last me at least a month. As Parker, my fast growing baby girl, keeps getting more independent with her own eating I’ll have less and less to actually prepare in advance *sigh*. Isn’t that always the … Continue reading Baby Food Blitz -Purées
If you have a toddler, you may experience some kind of feeding struggle either everyday or just from time to time. Lucky for me, I have a kid who eats anything and everything most of the time. She does go through phases of wanting the same things over and over, otherwise known as a “food … Continue reading Fun Toddler Feeding
A fellow dietitian was looking to share and get some feedback on a local cookbook titled Mustard- Makeovers and More put out by the Saskatchewan Mustard Development Commission. I took on the challenge, as I’m always up for trying new recipes, but to be honest I was skeptical of a whole cookbook devoted to mustard. When … Continue reading Mustard Mania
Haddock happens to be my gateway fish into the world of seafood. Growing up in a Northern Ontario community, predominantly Italian, meant little exposure to fresh seafood. In turn, any experience I had eating seafood was usually a negative one. It either tasted too “fishy”, or I’d chomp down on a bone, or the texture … Continue reading Cajun Panko-Crusted Baked Haddock
This recipe will satisfy your craving for a creamy coleslaw but is a healthier alternative using fat free Greek yogurt. Pair this coleslaw with fish (like this Cajun Panko haddock), use it for a topping on fish tacos, use it as a sidedish to bbq’d fare, or be like me and eat it straight out … Continue reading Creamy Greek Yogurt Coleslaw
I just roasted another batch of beets to have on hand for salads, dips, baby food, etc. I think beets are becoming more popular. I see them more and more on restaurant menus, which makes me happy! Not only are they a very versatile root vegetable which can be used in so many different dishes … Continue reading Just BEET it
This week we went heavy on the vegetables, which to me is heavenly. I could easily leave meat out of my diet and be a vegetarian but my husband is a serious carnivore. What he has come to realize though, is that some vegetarian dishes are really tasty. After downing a bowl of this Coconut Lentil … Continue reading I ♥️ veggies
You’re probably thinking, does this girl have anything else in her kitchen other than avocados?? I think the majority of my posts so far have contained an avocado, but that is what happens when you buy a bag of avocados at Costco and need to use them up before they go bad! So let me … Continue reading Avocado “mayo”
After spending a great sunny vacation in Mexico with my family, it’s always a bit bittersweet to come back home to real life. I definitely enjoyed the break from cooking and cleaning up while away, but also probably ate one too many tacos and sipped a few too many mojitos, so getting back to … Continue reading Back to reality
