Top Recipe Posts from 2017 and a Free Meal Planning Challenge

I love this week…the time between Christmas and New Years when I’m never sure what day it is….PJ’s are considered appropriate day wear…and there are endless treats and coffee. Seriously…it’s the best!  I’m only partly serious….sometimes I get dressed and DO things!  I have a post of the Top 10 Things To Do the Last …

Simple Roasted Sweet Potatoes

I love sweet potatoes. Sweet potato soup, sweet potato and black bean chili and sweet potato fries are all things that rank high on my favourite foods list.

Meal Planning Made Easy with Sam’s No Frills- October 6

I love Thanksgiving. It’s one of my favorite holidays with the focus being on family and food. On top of that, the weather and beautiful fall foliage, has me swooning. We always head back to my in-laws on Sunday for a big family feast, but I also host a family dinner here on Monday which …

Meal Plan Monday- Fresh Cuts Market

Fresh Cuts Market in Bridgewater opened their doors just about three weeks ago and I can already see this will become a regular stop in my week. There was a lot of excitement to see what this new Market was going to look like, what they would sell, and of course, what would the prices …
