Manage Devices – Circle With Disney

Disclaimer – I was given a Circle Home to try out and review. All opinions are my own.

Things are really different from when I was growing up. There were no cell phones or laptops until I was a lot older. There was no internet growing up and I didn’t get email until I was in University. Whoa, I am totally aging myself here.

Circle With Disney

We live in a connected world where the kids have access to so much on their ipads or computers or their phones. It’s great to have so much information at their fingertips but also very scary….

You hear it all the time, when kids go back to school, colds and sickness are soon to follow. When school started earlier this month, we were determined to get this year off to a healthy start.

We tried to develop habits like coming home and washing hands right away. Fresh orange juice has become a daily occurrence to ensure we are getting our Vitamin C to ward off any colds. We have also started drinking Feel Good Syrup….

Chimichurri Sauce

September 17, 2018 By Fareen Leave a Comment

Garlicky and packed with flavour, this chimichurri sauce is a great way to use up parsley and perfect with steak and chicken.

Who has an abundance of parsley they need to use up from their garden? With the recent cold we have experienced, I harvested a lot of parsley and was looking for ways to use it.

Since we were having steak for dinner, my mind naturally went to a sauce that I could serve with it. As most of you know, I am all about the sauces and dips. All the condiments in my fridge are a testament to that.

Nutella lovers rejoice! This Nutella latte is super easy to make at home. Cozy up with a cup and a good book and you have the perfect day.

Snow in September. Living in Alberta, this is definitely nothing to be surprised about. Snow in the summer, chinooks in the winter – it’s what we deal with every year. But, with the beautiful hot weather we had this summer, I didn’t think the snow would come so soon.

Nutella Latte

My love for Nutella is no secret. It’s delicious in brownies, ice cream, cookies….and lattes! This cozy drink is super easy to make.

Steak Bites with Sesame Steak Sauce

September 9, 2018 By Fareen 11 Comments

One of our favourite sauces has to be the steak sauce from Japanese restaurants. This is sesame steak sauce is simple to make at home and enjoy with easy to make steak bites.

Those who know me know I can’t resist a good dip. It doesn’t matter how tasty the food is on it’s own, if there’s a tasty dip to go along side it, I can’t resist. Q is the same way. When he first tried the sesame steak sauce at a restaurant, he was hooked. He’s been asking for a while to recreate it at home.
