Creativity is Not a Hobby; it's a Way of Life!
We have a longstanding tradition in our family of having pancakes on Christmas morning. After all, they are my daughter’s favorite! Usually, we make them in the shape of reindeer (with bacon antlers). This year, I thought I’d make some fun Christmas tree pancakes to go along with them! When I was growing up, we […]
This is another French Canadian specialty from my childhood growing up in Montreal! Cretons de Quebec is a sort of pork pate served most commonly as a spread for toast at breakfast. Personally, I think it has an acquired taste and I never saw the need to acquire it. My sister, however, LOVES the stuff! […]
Sheet pan recipes make me ever so happy. They are so easy to put together and cut down on clean up. That’s always a winner in my books! This Sheet Pan Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash recipe delivers such a gorgeous display of color with its rich oranges, deep purples, and gorgeous greens. But once you […]
This Wild Blueberry Spinach Smoothie recipe contains affiliate links. If nothing else, you HAVE to check out the mini blender. It is amazing! I love me a good smoothie. They are portable and delicious! I often make up smoothie packs and throw them in the freezer so there’s less to think about in the morning. […]

Have you tried any overnight oats recipes? I must say I was quite intrigued with them from the first time I heard of them. I love oatmeal and it just seemed like such a quick and easy way to make them. You would think that working from home, I don’t need to worry about simplifying meals. […]
Are you a Star Wars fan? We sure are in my family – well, at least most of us are. I still remember lining up to see the very first movie when it was released in theaters. And then, going back to see it again and again with all of my friends. It was showing […]
True confession time: I am not much of a soup fan. Oh, a scrumptious French onion soup, all cheesy and gooey, is a nice starter course now and then. If we’re having grilled cheese, I love to have a small bowl of cream of tomato soup with it. It’s simply ideal for dunking! But, I […]

Simple ideas for lovely days! Pick and choose what sparks your interest and fits into your schedule. […]
Wooohoooo! The polar vortex seems to have come to an end and temperatures are rising. Okay, so it’s just barely over zero but considering it was nearly -40 at one point in the past week, I’ll take it! In other news, my little Moonpie seems to have decided that he’s going to make some big […]
