Chicken stew
(Made Dec. 24th, 2012) This is a recipe I have adapted from my home economics class back in school (won’t tell you what year that was, lol) , theirs was rather greasy and complicated to do, so I simplified it. While the in laws were visiting they had asked if I could make it, since I used to make it over in Germany too. We did most prep while Nico was napping so it would … Read entire article »

Breakfast cookies
Many months ago I saw this recipe for breakfast cookies in my mailbox from Once a Month Mom and was intrigued since Nico likes cookies so much and wants to eat them all the time, I thought I should look into it more. Nico claims not to like bananas, so I had to come up with a substitute since he would not eat them if he had to put one in there. Then I made … Read entire article »

Spritzgebaeck (German cookies)
Since my parents were coming from Germany to spend Christmas with us, we figured that we would also go for some good old German cookies, among them my childhood favourites of Spritzgebaeck. The recipe is easy, even with an impatient toddler helping left and right and does not take too much time either. It all started with whipping the butter into a fluffy consistency and then slowly adding the other ingredients… into a dough that is not … Read entire article »

Shepherd’s pie Quebec style (Pâté chinois)
Disclaimer: This is not your typical British Shepherd’s pie, but it’s the closest translation I can find, so to all British readers out there please don’t be offended by the way we make it. (Made on December 18, 2012) Nico doesn’t eat this as he’s currently anti-mashed potatoes but eats cubed ones, he also only likes whole corn kernels not the creamy kind but he does like ground beef. So for now I keep a few … Read entire article »

Christmas Crescent Cookies
A few years ago we saw a recipe on the Pillsbury website for a really simple cookie recipe made out of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. We made them for the first time at Nico’s first Christmas, but we wanted him to help us with them and so far he had not been old enough to do so. Now of course can’t find the recipe anywhere anymore, so we figured to go by memory and other than … Read entire article »

Snowman pancakes
(Nov 27, 2012) Asked Nico what he felt like for dinner, he said pancakes! Couldn’t come up with another idea so we made some. It was snowing lightly so I thought why not snowman pancakes! Nico loves shape pancakes, so I did our pancake recipe and just free handed the pouring. I did two models, full snowman and just the head. I sprinkled powered sugar and used chocolate chips (you could use raisins) for the … Read entire article »

Pan-Boo-cakes
( Oct. 26, 2012) Nico asked for pancakes this morning when I asked what he wanted for breakfast, since he normally asks for cereals or toasts I figure we could make some. We did the recipe together, he held each cup and spoon while I poured in and he would then pour them in the bowl, he also broke the egg and stirred. We used our usual pancake recipe. As I scooped a small fairly … Read entire article »

No bake mini “cheesecakes”
(Oct. 17, 2012) Since I had Nico, I rarely make anything but muffins, I was going through a french magazine the other day and I came across this recipe. Now I don’t like cheese cake, but Alex loves them. He doesn’t buy them since he’s the only one eating them and it’s too expensive to waste. I hear it’s a lot of work to make them too, so when I saw this quick, no-bake, easy recipe, … Read entire article »

Boo-ffins & Muff-kins!
This morning I made french vanilla muffins with Nico, my mix was about to expire so I had to use it. Nico doesn’t like icing and is iffy on anything but chocolate flavor, but if add chocolate chips he’ll eat it. I measured and he poured everything, while mixing with Nico I thought about the season, Halloween and that I hadn’t made much for it. The white mix inspired me to make little ghost faces, we … Read entire article »
