Simple, delicious recipes
I attended a photo styling and lighting workshop in gorgeous Vancouver over the weekend. I flew in and as predicted didn’t sleep well the first night in the hotel. There was a little flashing blue light around the tv that ended up feeling like an episode of Cops. You know when you’re annoyed at 2am everything seems a little over the edge….
When I’m baking with my kids, often I find they lose interest if the recipe takes too long. Robin Hood® quick bread mixes definitely have little ones in mind with only 5 minutes of prep and three ingredients to stir in. Homemade taste in no time!
I love this video from Robin Hood – They’re exactly right, there are no high expectations when baking with kids, just sharing the memories! With the holidays coming up we’ll be spending more time in the kitchen whipping up treats to share!

The love of food ties families together
Thanksgiving is about two things – food and family. Ask anyone what kind of stuffing they like, or how they prefer their mashed potatoes and there is a good chance the will say how their mom, dad or grandparent has been preparing it all their lives. These recipes are as much a part of a family’s history as the memories of the times they’ve enjoyed them.Through the years, a family’s shared love of the food that is only theirs, ties them together. Just look at what’s on the menu for a family feast and you have a unique view of how different cultures converge to form who that family is today….
We all have that vision of the perfect breakfast, don’t we? Beautifully arranged fruit, eggs any style, your choice of toast. A relaxed half hour sharing stories and anticipating what the day will bring. Lately though, breakfast is more and more rushed as we start our Summer activities. I thought the kids would be up earlier now that it’s light out at 4am. Not the case! They want a leisurely day of sleeping in and expect to stay in their pajamas while watching cartoons all morning. Soon my children, soon. August vacation is coming! For now though, we move things along in the morning a little quicker with a bowl full of cereal….
