Breakfasts made easy with Hamilton Beach
Disclaimer – This is a sponsored post for Hamilton Beach but all thoughts and opinions are my own. This post contains affiliate links.
As the kids head back to school, and we start worrying about what to pack for snacks and lunches, one meal that cannot be forgotten is breakfast. Let’s face it, sometimes the kids don’t eat at school. There are more important things to do sometimes and the last thing we want to see is an uneaten lunch.
That’s why, making sure that the kids have a good breakfast is so important. We may not be able to control what they do and don’t eat at school, but we can make sure that they head to school with full bellies.
Hamilton Beach makes breakfasts easy with items like their Breakfast Sandwich Maker and Skillet.

Win! Back to school with Bear Paws!
Back to school! That means back to packing snacks and lunches. I know most schools have a nut-free policy so it’s important when choosing what to pack for the kids.

Have a Trampoline Party with Springfree and Tgoma!
Looking for a fun party idea? A trampoline party with Springfree is definitely a fabulous way to celebrate. When planning the trampoline party, I envisioned balls and balloons and jumping and bouncing. I wanted to incorporate all of these into our trampoline party.

1918 Tap & Table
A few weeks ago, hubby and I checked out the new 1918 Tap and Table located in the new Legion building in Kensington. It was a fun evening where we got to hear from Chef Chris Murphy while trying some bites of what they had to offer.

mushroom jalapeno poppers
This post is my submission for the Mushrooms Appetizer Spotlight Contest which is open to members of Food Bloggers of Canada. The contest is sponsored by Mushrooms Canada for a chance to win 1 Full Conference Pass to FBC 2017.
Summer days for us in Canada mean we are usually outside, grilling our food, and enjoying time with friends and family. We try to make the most of our short summers, so we try to cook as may meals on the bbq as we can.
Anyone who knows me know that I love appetizers and could eat a whole meal of them. We have done a few appetizer parties and they have always been a hit. It’s always fun to come up with the perfect bite so I loved that this contest meant coming up with an appetizer that showcased mushrooms. These mushroom jalapeno poppers are filling and pack a punch.

grilled eggplant with honey, lime and goat cheese
A couple months ago, hubby and I escaped to Spain for a few days. It was a whirlwind trip that I still need to share with you. Soon. Of course we had lots of tapas, loving the little bites.
One item that we loved was from Ultramarinos where we had gone for dinner our last night. We had the eggplant fritters with honey and lime and were surprised by how great the flavours worked together.

Legoland Discovery Centre (Toronto)
Disclosure: I was provided tickets for my family to visit the Legoland Discovery Centre but all opinions are my own.
My family and I headed East to spend some time with family in Toronto and celebrate Canada in Ottawa. The whole time we were there, it rained. So what do you do when you have kids that need to get out and play? Head on over to the Legoland Discovery Centre in Vaughn.
The Legoland Discovery Centre is very different from the Legolands in the US. This was an indoor playground and exactly what we needed to escape the rain.

sparkling lemonade by the glass
I can’t believe the weather we have been having lately. It has been HOT! It’s been a bit unbearable but it’s much better than the snow that seems to stay around forever. The only thing to do is be grateful and embrace it.
The best way to beat the heat is with something cold and refreshing. Sparkling lemonade is always my go-to. I keep my fridge stocked with a couple things that make having a glass anytime easy and quick – simple syrup and fresh lemon juice. Make it even more special by muddling in some mint and you’ve got yourself something delicious to cool you down.
