Caramel Dipping Sauce (Two Ingredients)
I was craving caramel today, but I've never made caramel sauce from scratch and frankly, today was not the day I was going to start. I wanted an easy Caramel Dipping Sauce. One that I could whip up relatively quickly and would be thick and gooey and perfectly caramel-y. Then it dawned on me, I do have a quick caramel sauce and it's soo good!

Family Irish Bread
Anytime my aunt is comes to town, fresh Family Irish Bread, is a guarantee. She bakes loaves of it and it is amazing, as is she, amazing that is! Call this a bit of an ode to Ele (my aunt). She is like a second mom to me. She's the aunt I can confide in, scheme with and is always there to help. My aunt drops everything and comes to the rescue of any of her family members, especially her nieces and nephews. In fact, she flew to Georgia for a month-long visit to watch our toddler while I was in labour…

Easy Barbecue Sauce
I may miss my hometown like crazy somedays, but I think it's safe to say the barbecue down here is a fantastic consolation prize! I'm a huge fan! The smoked meat itself is so good, but adding a tasty sauce takes it over the top. When I came across this recipe for Easy Barbecue Sauce in our family cookbook, I was excited to give it a try. I've never made barbecue sauce from scratch before, but as it turns out, it's way easier than I thought. And I already had all the ingredients, score! And you know what else, it was delicious!

Easy Refried Beans (Two Ingredients)
I was chatting with my best friend one night and happened to ask what they were having for dinner. She said tostadas, I asked a few more questions. And found out that her son only liked his tostadas with Easy Refried Beans. I didn't believe her. I mean, I don't know any kid that would choose beans over taco meat. Personally, beans have never been my go-to. Usually, I just leave them on my plate or push them around until the waiter finally comes and takes it all away. Make them at home? No way, so not my thing.

Sierra Turkey Cranberry Wraps (Boars Head copycat)
I have the Kroger Deli to thank for this recipe. Our family goes through just shy of two pounds of luncheon meat a week. My husband loves the Boars Head Blackened Turkey, the boys and I love honey ham or pastrami if I'm feeling really indulgent (it's my fav). One busy Saturday morning, I was out doing the weekly grocery run. The line up with a little longer than usual, so I browsed the pre-made sandwiches and there it was Sierra Turkey Cranberry Wraps.

Easter Peanut Butter Cookie Bars
Did the Easter Bunny visit your house last weekend? Was he extra generous? Did he leave behind mountains of sugar-infused energy stockpiles for kids that are already going a little stir crazy? Why did I do this to myself {face palm}, are you asking yourself the same thing? I've got a fun way to use up some of those extra candies you may have an overload of. Whip up a batch of Easter Candy Peanut Butter Bars.

Wild Blueberry Maple Syrup (Two Ingredients)
Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best! Growing up in Northwestern Ontario there was always fresh, wild blueberries in the summer. Let me tell you there is nothing better than those delicious berries on a warm summer morning. But did you know you can buy frozen wild blueberries and while they might not be freshly picked, they're still delicious and pretty darn close to the real deal! I decided to use them today to create a delicious Wild Blueberry Maple Syrup.

White Chocolate Orange Muffins
My friends, these White Chocolate Orange Muffins are delicious. You may laugh at me, but this blog post started out all backwards. You see, I normally decide what I want to create, test the recipe, photograph said recipe, write the blog post and then figure out social media. Now, in this case, it started with social media.

Greek Pasta Salad
I found this recipe for Greek Pasta Salad in a stack of old recipes I was gifted from my Grandma. When my grandmother moved into an assisted living home, my aunt, my uncle and my dad were tasked with selling her house. We were each asked if there was anything we'd like from grandma's home as a keepsake. I knew immediately, what my heart was set on. It was her handwritten recipe cards. And it is a gift I will forever treasure.

Two Ingredient Keto Pancakes
So, I'm going to be completely honest with you. These aren't my favourite pancakes, I wish I could love them, but they're just not my thing. I know, why on earth would I be sharing a Two Ingredient Keto Pancake recipe if I didn't love it. Well, it's because everyone else in my house thinks these are delicious. Both of my boys devour these like they're going out of style. My husband loves that they're low carb. My parents make them all the time and my niece and nephews also adore them.
