All of my life my family has purchased Farmers products. That’s just the way it was. There were a couple other brands out there, but we always bought Farmers. Farmers is an Atlantic Canadian brand that is nearly 100 years old, using milk from local dairy farmers – our neighbours and friends. Even after I got […]
5-Minute Meals: Burrito Bowl
Eating healthy when in a hurry can be difficult. And with the lure of fast food it can be all to easy to take a trip to the drive thru instead of making something yourself. With my 5-minute burrito bowl, not only can you make a healthy meal fast but it’ll be less expensive […]
Expect More From Summer Dining (With Less Work!)
One of the many (many) things I love about summer is the ease of outdoor cooking and dining. Sure us Canadians still bbq in the winter months, but there is something so much more satisfying about a meal cooked on the bbq in the heat of summer. The ease of clean up (no pots and pans […]

Baked Mini Chocolate Donuts
Things happen when people are storm stayed. Things like baked mini chocoalte donuts. Really, what was I expected to do? I had a mini donut pan just sitting there wishing to be used. How could I deny it? The finished product is pretty tasty, though not really as dense as I would like to make […]
