After a two-week spring break, I’ve learnt what keeps kids entertained on a rainy spring day. Creating food and new recipes can take a boring day and make it fun, especially if you get the kids involved in the creating. Take a look at a few of my favourite kid-friendly recipes.

Spring has sprung and it’s time to get your grill on. If this is the year you’re planning on upgrading your BBQ to a Napoleon grill, I’ve covered everything you need to know.

Before I tried the Spherificator I had no idea you could make caviar from any ingredient. This is one kitchen gadget that’s fun, easy, and really adds flavour to every dish.  

It’s almost Easter, and if you’re not quite ready for the festivities next week, here are a few great Easter sides and treats you can make for Easter this year.

Out of all of the things that have happened since we moved from a quiet cul-de-sac with neighbours to a 12-acre farm, having break-in after break-in has been the worst. Possessions can be replaced but when you lose the sense of security you have in your home? That’s really hard to get back. Thankfully we discovered Arlo smart home security, and I sleep better at night because of those cameras. Here’s my take on Arlo and how we use it on our property.

Did you know there’s a difference between BBQing and grilling? You can grill a burger or hot dog in under 10 minutes, but when you want true Southern BBQ flavour, you need to use wood chips and a slow cooking process. Read on for some great Southern BBQ recipes you can make on your grill this year.

When’s the last time you did breakfast for dinner? If it’s been awhile, you’re long overdue. Try these recipes this weekend and up your breakfast/dinner game.

Until you actually fly a drone, you have no idea how amazing it is to have one around. Although some people use them strictly for entertainment purposes, I decided I wanted a better look at my property from the only angle I hadn’t seen it yet: up above. The Yuneec Typhoon G drone for Gopro cameras is easy to set up, fun to fly, and I’m in love with the solid 1080p footage of our property.    

It’s almost St.Patrick’s Day again, and along with the green beer and shamrocks you’ll also find a bunch of different Irish dishes you can try. Here are a few I make every year

Pressure cookers: who knew that one small appliance could cook up so many different dishes? I spent the week trying out the very versatile Instant Pot Smart pressure cooker, and now I’m a huge fan of pressure cooking and an even bigger fan of Instant Pot’s smart features.
