I’m A Cheater With No Regrets
Yes, that’s right. I’m a cheater with no regrets. It’s time I come clean. Today, I’m vlogging (this is a fun one) about my sins and confessing to you and my husband about what I’ve done. I really don’t think I should have to take 100% of the blame here though. He’s partly to blame… Continue reading I’m A Cheater With No Regrets
Quinoa Veggie Taco Bowl
This is one of my favourite dinners. My Quinoa Veggie Taco Bowl was born out of a craving for tacos but not the meat or the shells. So on nights when the kids are having traditional tacos, I’ll whip this up for myself in a flash. It’s so quick and easy and cooks up in… Continue reading Quinoa Veggie Taco Bowl

3 Ingredient Mounds Cookies
This isn’t a new recipe (thanks to my friend Jenny for this new favourite) but my version is nut-free and so darn easy to make. My recipe swaps sweetened coconut for unsweetened to cut down on the sugar and in my opinion, you’d never know the difference.
