Family Dinner is Quick and Tasty with an Easy Peanut Beef Recipe

April 19, 2016 by Kathryn 30 Comments

A few weeks ago, my fiance and I were setting the table for dinner and he mentioned that one thing we’ve really mastered since moving in with one another is the family dinner.

Without fail, the four of us manage to sit down to a home-cooked meal almost every night. And even on nights when Jeremy’s job takes him to work, the boys and I have a family dinner of our own.

Making meals that we enjoy as adults, but that are still kid-friendly, is a big help when it comes to making family dinner a priority. And since we’re a typical busy family, having quick and easy meals in our repertoire is a must.

That’s why Canadian Beef is a frequent choice for our dinner table! Whether we’re cooking up succulent burgers, tender steak or spicy tacos, beef is the perfect fast and delicious choice for the whole family!

Looking for a great recipe for those busy weeknights? This easy Peanut Beef takes just twenty minutes to make and is a surefire crowd pleaser! Serve it over rice or vermicelli and tailor the vegetables to suit your family’s tastes for a meal that kids and adults will both enjoy! [Read more…]

October 10, 2014 by Kathryn 225 Comments

Popcorn is one of those snacks that I tend to forget about unless I’m at the movies, but it’s one of my absolute favourite treats when I do buy it. And while good old-fashioned buttered popcorn will always be something I love, I have to admit that I can’t resist some of the tastier gourmet popcorn snacks available. So when I heard about the new Chocolate Peanut Butter Drizzlecorn from Popcorn, Indiana, I knew I had to see what it was like.

Popcorn, Indiana specializes in fresh, delicious popcorn in a variety of flavours ranging from sweet and salty Kettlecorn to traditional buttery popcorn to decadent Drizzlecorn. And considering the fact that October is National Popcorn Month and November is National Peanut Butter Month, this brand new popcorn treat was clearly something that was meant to be! I received a case containing a few varieties of Popcorn, Indiana popcorn including new Peanut Butter Drizzlecorn to review and I was so excited to experience the blissful combination of peanut butter, chocolate and popcorn.
