Recipe: Eight Freezer Meals
Eight Freezer Meals Total bonus – they’re all gluten free! About 2 months ago I prepped all of these meals, and as you can see, many of them can be turned into tacos. We love Mexican food. It took me about an hour to shop for these meals and then about 90 minutes to prep. We have one day a week, usually on nights, when things got just too busy to cook and they are perfect. We just pull them out in the morning and…

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving 2018! It’s time to cook up some great recipes and hang out with family. Check out these recipes to make your holiday tasty.

Recipe: Healthy Pumpkin Brownies
Healthy pumpkin brownies? Yes please! Sugar? No thank you! A few weeks ago we had some family visit and I like to think I’m a pretty good host. Food is plentiful, treats are stocked and we have beautiful guest rooms that are welcoming and cozy. One thing, however, is that I don’t often eat a lot of treats. So when I do, I crash hard from the sugar. If I eat it for 3 days, I crash for about 6 hours. So with a week…
