Salted Caramel Chocolate Pudding

Do you love chocolate as much as I do? I’ll be honest, I was never a huge chocolate lover, until I became pregnant with my son. Now, I crave dark chocolate regularly. I try to avoid unrefined sugars as much as possible though, and this can sometimes be tricky with chocolatey treats. I normally end up making my… [Read More]

Vegetarian Christmas Menu – Appetizers, Sides and Main Dishes

Over here in Canada, we celebrate Thanksgiving waaaayyy earlier than in the U.S. Seriously early. We were giving thanks and gobbling up delicious meals about 6 weeks ago.

Trick-or-Treating – Healthy Halloween Treats & Alternatives

Do your little ones love Halloween? I know K sure does! Are you dismayed by the sheer amount of sugar that often ends up in their little tummies after the trick-or-treat run, though? I definitely am!

Healthy Peanut-Free Snacks for School

Now that many parents are back into the lunch packing stage, it can be tricky to come up with enough peanut-free snacks for school. While we enjoy peanut and other nut butter sat home, I know that most schools have a no-peanut (and often no-nut) policy in place to protect those kids with severe allergies. I… [Read More]

Eco-friendly Coffee with Kicking Horse (+ a Giveaway)

After water, coffee is the most popular drink in the world. I have to be honest – I’m not a regular coffee drinker. I’m more of a tea fan myself, although I do love a good espresso smoothie made with a good dark roast. But Adam aka HEN Papa, loves coffee. Especially after having children,… [Read More]

Making Time for Mom

Alone time. What’s that? If you’re a mom, you’re quite possible in the same boat as me. Some days, okay, most days, I feel like my needs come last in the whole scheme of things. From the second our eyes open in the morning, it’s all about the kids. Getting everyone changed and fed, answering 800… [Read More]
