We celebrated my son’s first birthday with a smash cake. Of course with anything I give him, I try to make it healthier by making at home. Here is a recipe that I tried out. Start by beating 4 egg whites (room temperature) with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar, 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar and…

Baby Cereal Muffins
Transitioning my baby from purees to solids has been quite the adventure. Some days he likes baby cereal, other days he doesn’t. He’s currently in the mind set of “I want to feed myself” mode. So we’ve allowed him to explore more and more solids. One of the first solid foods I made was baby…
Baby Puree Prep
I’ve been currently creating meals that are versatile for dinner for adults and babies. It has been a challenge but I’ve discovered that it was easier to use the same ingredients and make a pot on the side. Until my kid is old enough to have the same meals as us, this was the easiest…
Mango Coconut Popsicles
It is never too cold to have popsicles! Even when it is freezing out and windy and rainy and all those things that happen in Vancouver in October…. These popsicles will remind you of warmer tropical weather! And they are so easy to make that you can make them year round. You will need two…
Zucchini Pasta Sauce
This recipe was inspired by Meghan Markle’s Sexy Pasta Sauce. I also saw this recipe on emmymadeinjapan. For this version I decided to use the instant pot. It is a simple recipe and all you will need some broth (or bouillon) and zucchini. So the difference between this recipe and Meghan Markle’s is that for…
Cheesy Savory Shortbread
I got this idea because my son loves shortbread cookies. I looked up a couple recipes but I wanted to make it simple and slightly healthier. To start, grate 2 cups of Cheddar cheese and 1 cup of butter cubed. Mix together the flour and the butter. Cut up the butter until you get coarse…
Cloud Bread
I have been wanting to make this recipe for a long time, but then I stopped eating eggs and kind of forgot about it until recently. This weekend I decided to try it out. It only takes 4 ingredients and doesn’t take that long. It is also a good gluten free alternative to bread. Start…
Easy Natural Sweetener
As you may know, I still struggle with eczema. It isn’t as bad as before but it will get worse with the holiday season coming up. This is mostly because of all the sugar!! To fight my sugar cravings I made this date paste. It is so sweet and tasty. I love it on toast…
Easy DIY Smash Cake
My son just turned 1! For his birthday we decided to make a smash cake. I did some research and saw that there were a lot of “healthy” smash cakes. I did think about making one of those but decided that it was not worth it since he probably wouldn’t be eating a lot of…
Fast Microwave Custard
When you are feeling lazy (or you are just lazy), here is a dessert for you. It is super easy and tastes like creme caramel. Start with eggs, vanilla extract and whole milk. You can use 2% if you want to cut down the fat, but it wont be as creamy and rich. Beat all…
