We have been eating a lot of shishito peppers lately. Shishitos are long twisted green peppers that are mild in heat and sweet in flavour. Well, maybe that’s not totally true. Although they are mild, sometimes a couple will sneak in that have a little bite to them.
Sure we grill all year long but with the weather being hot and beautiful, our bbq is getting used more than usual. You can bet, if we have peppers in the house, they are definitely going on the grill.

It’s May and it’s finally feeling like Spring. Didn’t that feel like the longest Winter ever?
This nicer weather means it’s probably time to get some spring cleaning done. The Libman company, a 122 year old manufacturer of cleaning products, offers some tips to help you make the most of spring cleaning time and resources.

March is a big month around here. It’s my birthday month but also the blogiversary of Food Mamma. Usually there are celebrations all month long. This time was different. It was busy! Like crazy busy. From taxes to kids to work to hubby being away, we almost forgot to make a big deal of it!
It’s hard to believe that Food Mamma was started eight years ago! Q was just one at the time It started out as an outlet to place my never ending food pictures. I was constantly photographing my food so it just made sense to put them somewhere to get shared. When I started the site, never did I imagine the great foodie community that I would become part of.

If I had to choose a dessert that was simple but looked like it had taken work, it would be a no-bake cheesecake. It’s surprising how easy they are to whip together but the minute you say cheesecake, people think that you put a lot of effort into making it. This no-bake lavender cheesecake is no exception.

This past weekend, we went out for dinner with our friends to Pampa Brazilian Steakhouse. We always enjoy a good meal there and I was not just looking forward to all the delicious meat but the cheese bread.
Cheese Bread from Pampa Brazilian Steakhouse
Brazilian cheese bread, also known as Pão de Queijo, is a small little cheese puff. It’s made with tapioca flour so so perfect for those who are looking for something gluten-free. It bakes up a little crisp on the outside and hollow on the inside. It is a cheesy, chewy delight.

I’m constantly looking for ways to increase our fiber intake. Increasing the amount of veggies and beans and grains to our diet has helped. I’ve also tried prunes but that doesn’t go over so well with the little guys. But chocolate….add chocolate to anything and they will eat it up. They definitely take after their mamma. So when the kids were introduced to these chocolate fiber muffins, well, they were thrilled.

Navroz Mubarak! With this new year and the start of Spring, our wish is for happiness and peace. Hope you have a wonderful day celebrating with loved ones and a delicious year ahead.
It’s my birthday! I figure since cake will be involved, it’s the perfect day to share a recipe for buttercream icing.
I don’t discriminate when it comes to icing but if I had to pick just one, this would have to be it.

Growing up, we took a lot of road trips. We drove through most of Canada and a lot of the United States, going a different route every summer. Those were some long hours in the car but so many great memories were made. One trip which stands out was one where we drove from Eastern Canada all the way down to Florida. We made a stop in Hershey Pennsylvania and went to the Hershey Factory. Naturally, a visit to a chocolate factory is definitely something this chocoholic still dreams about.
