One of our favourite chocolatey treats has to be puffed wheat squares. These seem to be loved by most people. Little wheat puffs covered in chocolate and made into squares. So good! These are no-bake, so dangerous that they can be made in minutes.

Omo Teppan & Kitchen
Disclosure – Omo Teppan & Kitchen hosted my family and I for dinner. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I headed to Omo Teppan & Kitchen a few weeks ago with the boys for dinner. Z loves to pretend that he’s cooking like a Teppanyaki master and Q loves sushi so everyone was excited to check the place out.
Omo means hospitality and did they every live up to their name. From the moment we walked in, they made us feel right at home. The service was great, which is huge for me.

Cilantro Mint Chicken
It’s been hot lately. Which has been amazing since we had the longest winter ever. Cooking outdoors has been happening on a daily basis. Why warm up the house when we can throw things on the bbq? I’m always on the quest for simple recipes that are packed with flavour. This cilantro and mint chicken fits the bill!

Grilled Shishito Peppers
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.

Food Mamma is 8! {Giveaway}
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.

No-Bake Lavender Cheesecake
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.

Brazilian Cheese Bread
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.

Buttercream Icing
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.

Fudgey Pecan Pie
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.
