This post is a celebration of my kids having learned about the family cookbook! I created this signature cereal treat bar in honour of my third born. In the final month before she was born we weren’t quite sure yet if we were going to name her Everly or Evelyn but we knew whichever we…
The Georgia Bar
This post is a celebration of my kids having learned about the family cookbook! I created this signature cereal treat bar in honour of my second born (by 8 minutes). We named her Georgia, which is the first name that my wife and I could agree on for the twins (Eloise was a much later…
The Eloise Bar
This post is a celebration of my kids having learned about the family cookbook! I created this signature cereal treat bar in honour of my first born (by 8 minutes) – for the record, she wanted this treat called “The Eloise The Awesome Bar” but for consistency with the naming of her sisters’ bars, we’ll…
Signature Cereal Treat Bars
This post is a celebration of my kids having learned about the family cookbook! I wasn’t keeping it from them, at least not intentionally. I’m not quite sure why I hadn’t yet told them directly about this cookbook project other than maybe, habit? When they were little I knew they probably wouldn’t understand or care…
Mom’s Baked Rice Pudding
If there were only one recipe I could pass down to my kids from the family collection, it would be this one (once I get it right, which I think I have now). Rice pudding, for me, is the ultimate comfort food that takes me straight back to my mother’s kitchen, every time I make…
Vegan Wooster Sauce
A lot of recipes in Grandma’s cookbook (and beyond) call for Worcestershire sauce. Not only is this sauce not vegan, it’s also not even vegetarian (it includes anchovies). You can purchase vegan alternatives (if you can find them!) but I find that they are often very expensive and are often very few hits with a…
Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls
This is a recipe we’ve adapted from The Veg Life. The kids don’t love it, but they also don’t hate it so we will chalk that up as a win. A very easy fridge-ready meal if you want to make it ahead for a quick reheat the next day. Ingredients 2 Tbsp vegetable oil 1…
Cheezy Bread
When I made this recipe, I had no idea how familiar it would be until I took the first bite. My mom made this several times when I was in my pre-teen and early teen years. The mix of mayo and cheese is unmistakable, even if you substitute for a cheese alternative. My kids usually…
Guacamole
There are a lot of different ways of making guacamole but I will never enjoy a version that adds garlic or bell peppers. Those are insults to guacamole. Ingredients 1/2 ripe tomato, finely chopped 2 tbs finely chopped onion (I used a white onion) 1-2 tbsp of chopped cilantro (to your taste) 1/2 – 2…
Fresh Salsa
This is one of my most requested recipes… and it is SO EASY to make! Fresh salsa goes with pretty much anything you can think of… I serve it with tortilla chips, molletes, any mexican dish, beans, rice, you name it! Ingredients 2 large ripe tomatoes, finely chopped 1/2 onion, finely chopped (I used a…
