This week is going to be dedicated to one of my favourite citrus fruits - GRAPEFRUIT. We love it around my house and eat it in all sorts of recipes. It makes such a delicious, healthy snack and makes a nice side for breakfast, brunch, or lunch but can also be eaten as a main.

As the winter days start to settle in and the wind is blowing snow around outside it's nice to have something to bring warmth and comfort to your taste buds. This is the final day of our carrot week and I decided we should go out with something delectable. This is actually the first time I have ever made a carrot cake. It's a dense, moist, dessert with a frosted cream cheese icing. Perfect for kids and adults alike. I started by running all of my dry ingredients through a str

I was up early today, and started my routine while the rest of the family were safe and sound snuggled in their beds. This is always the quietest part of the day before the starting pistol for the day fires off. I bought my husband a Latte Espresso Machine for Christmas this year. We didn't used to drink a lot of coffee but in the last year and a half (since the twins were born) we've gone from coffee virgins to connoisseurs in a relatively short amount of time. (Parenting ha

In our family we eat a lot of vegetables. When the twins were first brought home from the hospital we loved using our steamer and Vitamix to make nutritious baby food. It seemed like a lot of work at the time but eventually we got into the groove and froze a lot of ice cube size portions of broccoli and carrots. On Sundays we make a grocery list for the week, pack the kids up and head off to the Superstore bright and early. I love the 'AnyList' app (parenting hack alert!). I

When my husband and I first found out we were expecting twins via a surrogate we were over the moon and rejoiced that our family was going from two to four. We immediately started scouring our local bookstores to see what resources and books we could find.

So many resolutions, goals and hopes are set at the beginning of each year with dreams of fulfillment. I stop to wonder this morning what are the main goals I want to achieve and how best to accomplish them. Also, this year has the added bonus of starting on a Monday. When most of us set goals, we wait for the start of a new week, a new month, or a new year and at the

At the end of every year I try to give the upcoming year some sort of one word theme. This year, as we approach 2018 in just a few hours, I think about all that came before this moment and all that the new year will bring. But maybe, most importantly, I sit here in the present moment writing to you about my thoughts and experiences about parenting and baking because no matter what 2018 brings I know my year will be filled with both. This is my year of 'rejuvenation' and as fo
