Grab Your Kids and Try a Bacon and Corn Muffin Recipe

August 12, 2016 by Kathryn 158 Comments

One of the things I love about summer vacation is that I can spend time teaching my boys some of the valuable skills that aren’t covered in school. And as somebody that loves to cook, I always enjoy getting into the kitchen with Zack and Ben so that they can learn how to make a few foods on their own.

Baking is my personal favourite kid-friendly cooking choice since the boys can help measure and mix the ingredients, so when Trudeau sent me some of their top bakeware items to test out, I decided to use the Trudeau Mini Muffin Pan to whip up my favourite bacon and corn muffin recipe with the boys.

Bacon and Corn Muffins may sound a little odd, but they are hands-down my favourite muffins ever. My mom used to make them for us as kids and the combination of sweet corn with the salty and smoky bacon is a match made in heaven. In mini form, they make a perfect bite-sized snack that the entire family loves! I cooked the bacon while the boys measured wet and dry ingredients into bowls. The finished bacon corn muffin recipe was a hit!

The Trudeau Mini Muffin Pan was the perfect choice for these muffins since the pan made it so easy to pop each one out thanks to the silicone design. I especially liked that the pan still had a metal frame for structure, yet also provided me the convenient food release and even cooking of silicone. I’ve wanted a mini muffin pan for quite awhile and now that I have such a great one, I’m sure I’ll be making bite-sized treats much more often!

The muffins themselves came out tender, delicious and beautifully golden-brown. I filled a bag with them and took them on our recent road trip for breakfast since their small size and lack of muffin papers minimized any mess.

As an added bonus, their small size means that usually I just pop them in my mouth as they are, rather than adding butter like I normally do with the larger bacon and corn muffin recipe. Less calories and fat in my diet without compromising taste is a win in my book!

I was thrilled with how easy to use the Trudeau baking products were, and I can’t wait to check out some of the other items in the Trudeau collection. Whether you like making pies, cakes, cookies or muffins, Trudeau bakeware will help ensure great results every time. Check out the website for the complete collection of products and make something tasty with your kids this summer!

Celebrate the Long Weekend with a Super Easy Buffalo Bacon Cheddar Dip Recipe

May 12, 2016 by Kathryn 4 Comments

It’s no secret that I absolutely love Philadelphia Cream Cheese. I love it in cheesecake, on bagels, in dips and occasionally even just scooped right out of the tub. And even though I’m a big fan of original Philly, I also have so much fun creating new recipes with the many different flavoured Philly cream cheeses available. So when I saw that Philly was introducing a brand new flavour of cream cheese to its collection, I couldn’t wait to whip up something delicious.

Easy Buffalo Bacon Cheddar Dip! Delicious with tortilla chips and fresh veggies!

New Philadelphia Creamy Cheddar Cream Cheese combines creamy, dreamy Philadelphia Cream Cheese with real cheddar for a taste that’s sure to be any cheese lover’s dream come true. And with Victoria Day just a little over one week away, I knew I wanted to use it to create a tasty appetizer recipe that would be perfect for celebrating the long weekend.

Cooking for a house full of men means bacon is always a good addition to a recipe. So I decided to try the Creamy Cheddar Bacon Dip…with a twist! Since my guys like it hot, I added one simple ingredient to create an absolutely addictive Buffalo Bacon Cheddar Dip! [Read more…]

Going Back to School is Better with a Mexican Breakfast Pizza Recipe

August 6, 2015 by Kathryn 170 Comments

The school year is fast approaching and I’m already starting to plan out some easy and delicious meals for the busy school season. While I tend to stick to fairly basic sandwiches and snacks for the most part, I like having some fun and creative meal ideas at the ready as well.

And that’s especially true for breakfast! Even though my boys love their cereal, they also love heartier options in the morning and since breakfast is the most important meal of the day, I want to make sure that they head out the door feeling satisfied.

This year, Ozery’s Pita Break is helping with that thanks to its extensive variety of delicious and healthy Morning Rounds and OneBun products. I recently received a variety of products to create a tasty back-to-school recipe, so I decided to combine a few kid-friendly favourites into one quick and easy breakfast idea: a Mexican Breakfast Pizza recipe!

Treat Your Taste Buds to a Canadian-Inspired Chipotle Maple Bacon Jam Recipe

May 4, 2015 by Kathryn 98 Comments

Ever since I was a child, I’ve had a bit of a maple syrup obsession. It’s not something that we had in the house often, but any time we did I would put it on everything from pancakes to oatmeal. Now, as an adult, I always have maple syrup in the house so that I can add its unique, natural sweetness to any dish I desire.

If anyone had asked me, I would have said there was no way to make maple syrup any more delicious than it already is, but PURE Infused Maple Syrup has found a way with its unique syrups infused with complementary flavours.

From Lavender & Chai to Chipotle & Lemongrass, these syrups take a product I already adore to a gourmet level! Recently I received all five varieties of PURE Infused Maple Syrup so that I could cook up a tasty recipe that showed off the syrup in a unique way.

Broccoli Salad Recipe for Sobeys Food Revolution Day #BetterFoodForAll #PotluckChallenge

May 20, 2014 by Kathryn 58 Comments

Friday, May 16, was the third annual Food Revolution Day, an occasion created by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver to help teach children about the joy and importance of cooking with real, wholesome ingredients. This year, Sobeys teamed up with Jamie Oliver to host the country’s biggest potluck, the Potluck Challenge, through the Better Food for All website and I was so excited to be a part of it!

The mission was simple. Host a potluck for Food Revolution Day, Tweet and Instagram pictures from the event using the hashtags #PotluckChallenge and #FRD2014 and for each hashtag mention, Sobeys would donate $1 to Children’s Aid Foundation’s Cooking Toward Independence project. This initiative teaches children in the child welfare system how to cook so that when they reach adulthood, they have the skills they need to prepare nutritious meals for themselves. I’ve always taken for granted the cooking skills I learned from my mother when I was younger but since learning about this program, I’m so grateful that I had her in my life. Thanks to Sobeys and Food Revolution Day, now other children will have a chance to develop the same essential skills!

I shared a few tips for hosting a potluck a few weeks ago, and I took advantage of every one of them when Food Revolution Day arrived and it was time for my own potluck. I decided on an outdoor barbeque potluck, so as host I provided burgers and fixings while guests brought salads and desserts. But I couldn’t resist also whipping up one of my favourite potluck recipes, Broccoli Salad! [Read more…]
