You can enjoy canned pears straight from the jar or in cobblers, pies or sauces for ice cream or pancakes. They can be canned in simple sugar syrup or you can add in some spices like vanilla, cinnamon and cloves for an extra kick in flavour. When you pick your pears, make sure they are […]
Spider Cake
While the Ghost Cake was the kids’ favourite one, this Spider Cake was my favourite. I loved creating a cute 3D cake without having to use fondant for the details (which I almost always use for my custom 3D cakes). Also, I enjoyed covering the Spider Cake with the velvet texture made out of chocolate. […]

Kiwi Banana Smoothie with a Twist
We like kiwis because they’re tasty and super healthy! The only problem is peeling them off as sometimes we’re too lazy to do this and we would rather go for an apple, pear or other fruits. I can’t believe how many people eat kiwis with the skin on though! It has such a fuzzy texture… […]
Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese Roll-Ups

This Grape and Banana Dolphin Parfait is even easier to put together and is an awesome breakfast or dessert choice for kids and adults alike. Seriously, how can you resist anything […]
Crispy Roasted Asparagus
Asparagus is one of those veggies that we love eating during this time of the year. I’m a bit sad that the asparagus season is almost over as we love to pick our own veggies at local farms or buy them at the farmers’ market… they taste so much better than the ones you buy […]
Spinach Sweet Potato Dip
I was hoping to share this delicious recipe with you last week but I’ve been busy… too busy partying. We had our 10-year high school reunion and it was so exciting to catch up with old friends I hadn’t seen since graduation! I’m still kind of half-asleep as I write this : -). What can […]
