I know it’s not supposed to be, but sometimes – food is comfort. Sometimes, food is love. Food can bring back good memories and make us think of happy things. When my kitchen is warm and filled with scents of baking raisins, I’m immediately brought back to my childhood and the […]
Today is pizza day at my kids’ school. Can I just pause for a moment to get an amen for pizza day? It may not be the most nutritionally-sound lunch, but it means there’s a little less for me to pack. Plus, I threw in a pear, some veggies and […]
My friend Brad sent me an email with the subject line: “Dads make lunches too!” and this lovely pic. I love Brad and Dee – they’re fellow parents of 3 wee ones who also have a slight obsession with school lunches. Here’s what their kids are getting today: Turkey rolls on […]

I go on and on about this granola to everyone I meet. But I think it’s because my kids love it, I love it, it’s easy to make and it’s nut-free, so they can take it to school. The gals get protein from the plain yogurt and the hemp added to […]
