Welcome to all of the recipes found on my blog! These easy family recipes are the ones I turn to over and over again when I’m feeding my family, my daycare hooligans or entertaining friends. None of my recipes are difficult to make, but they ARE delicious. Trust me. I wouldn’t share them with you if they weren’t. 🙂
Below, you’ll find my favourite recipes for homemade soups, comfort food, kid-friendly lunches, appetizers, cookies, holiday treats, desserts and more.
Grown-ups love them, my kids love them and some of them make an appearance regularly at lunch or snack time in my daycare.
Every recipe is easy and inexpensive, and they’re made with everyday ingredients. Best of all, they’re all delicious! That’s the whole reason they’ve made it onto my blog and into this collection of easy family favourites.

I hope you love them all as much as we do!
