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.

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.

With life being as crazy as it is, I’m always on the search for a quick and delicious meal. I still turn to the Instant Pot when I need to get dinner on the table in a hurry. From ribs to potatoes, it really is my go-to. It’s also perfect to make Instant Pot Lasagna.

Doesn’t this seem like it’s been the longest winter ever! I thought that by escaping the cold in January, it would shorten this cold spell but it does seem never ending.
I’ve decided to forget the cold and dream of Spring, in particular Easter and Mother’s Day. These occasions are perfect for a tea party, don’t you think?
These mini peach and almond cups are perfect with tea, or coffee if you prefer. The peaches bring a brightness, a touch of sunshine while the almonds make them filling and provide a great texture. The combination is very delicious.

While travelling to Texas for a cruise last month, we decided to book an extra couple days to explore San Antonio. We were expecting to spend a few days in the sun. Instead, we ended up in Texas during a winter storm!

If you don’t already know, I am a sucker for a good dip. Whether it be for veggies or chips, dips are just one of my favourite things to serve at a party. So, for Superbowl Sunday, it just makes sense to have a delicious dip to add to the spread. I knew it had to be hot and cheesy and this hot crab dip fits the bill.
