One of the things that stressed me the most when I was still working 7 am – 7 pm shifts, was being home in the early mornings on my days off. There was no routine at home! You would think I would be happy!  Yes it did allow me an extra hour‘s sleep in the […]

I don’t know how I did it? Oh, wait I didn’t! In March 2015 I started making menu and meal plans for the month and not only did my grocery bill drop but so did my weight!  In the past if I cooked, it was whatever I could stick in an oven because I was […]

I love Jamie Oliver!  I find his recipes easy to follow and they work out for me every time, even when I have to alter ingredients to make it kosher. Jamie Oliver over the last few years has become passionate, not only about his cooking but about cooking healthy food and reducing obesity in children. […]

Time to wind down November!  Menu planning for December is going to be interesting as 3 of my 4 children will be away on holiday.  Child #1 will be away for the entire month and children #2 and #3 will be away for 3 weeks and these are my biggest eaters! This past week was […]

I don’t know about you but I have enough gadgets and recipe books in my kitchen to start a restaurant! What do we really need? Now, if you are kosher, just double up! Obviously, you will need plates to eat off and your usual cutlery and crockery. In the kitchen though, the first thing to […]

I belong to a Mommie’s Facebook group and one of the mothers has a ‘what’s for dinner’ post each night. My kids think I am nuts taking a photo of supper every night. What I really like about the ‘what’s for dinner’ posts is that sometimes, when I am tired, this gives me my inspiration […]

I know I do it and my mother does it! In fact, I think most people do it when they are planning big events like birthday parties, year end functions, just about any event where you will have 10 or more people in attendance. Restaurants do it or they go out of business! I am so excited. […]
