Super Blueberry Banana Bread {Recipe}

October 8, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

I love baking. I really wish I didn’t, but I do. Spending time to make tasty treats always feels like time well spent, but I know I should be cooking something healthy-ish. My favourite thing to make is blueberry banana bread. If you’ve made banana bread before you know that when bananas are overripe they are PERFECT for baking banana bread. It’s getting to the point that I buy … [Read more...]

Fibre 1 Almond & Cluster Delight for Every Day Breakfast {Review} #Fibre1ACD

June 26, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

I am guessing I'm not the only one that hears fibre and immediately thinks about "bathroom regularity". We all know fibre is supposed to help prevent constipation and keep you "going regularly". And because I've never had problems with constipation, I am totally guilty of ignoring how much or how little fibre I'm getting in my diet. Recently I had a conversation with my mom … [Read more...]

Pesto Crepes with Smoked Salmon & Asparagus

June 4, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

I love crepes. Specifically, I love savory crepes. But it's something I've never made at home. I had the notion stuck in my head that crepes were fancy and hard to make.  I have been on an everything tastes better with pesto kick, and just got a bee in my bonnet that I wanted to try pesto crepes. So I looked up a couple of basic crepe recipes and messed around until I came up … [Read more...]

Do you sleep in when you’re on vacation? What time do you eat breakfast?

May 15, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

Am I the only person in creation that wants to sleep in when on vacation? What the heck is with hotels that only serve breakfast until 9 or 10 am?  I don't want to be awake at 9am. When I roll out of bed at 11am or Noon, or hell 1pm, I want to be able to find something to eat. This is not a dig at my recent stay at The Grand Hotel & Suites in Toronto.  This is a … [Read more...]

Peanut Butter Love Meets Cheerios, Yum

February 4, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

 I've talked about my love for peanut butter in the past, like when I decided to add it to my chocolate cake , and the way my girls love to eat fruit with homemade peanut butter yogurt dip. I mean, who doesn't love peanut butter? (Ok, I mean aside from those poor souls with a peanut allergy, and those poor guys don't know what they're missing out on, right?) When I was a … [Read more...]

Kelloggs Cereals, Not Just For Breakfast….

January 19, 2012 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

Kelloggs sent me a giant box full of happy-fun. Well, okay, so it was really full of cereal, and bowls, and a t-shirt.... but I found it pretty exciting, and so did my girls. I opened the box, they saw boxes of cereal and they went crazy begging me to eat some right now  (Yes, even the little one -- she was signing "eat" and "please" while saying, "Cereal, num … [Read more...]
