When I was a child, I used to love it when my mom made traditional Finnish recipes for the family. And one of my favourites in the summertime was Sima, an easy Finnish homemade soda made with lemons, sugar and hops.
So, when I stumbled on the recipe for Sima in my beloved handwritten cookbook of family recipes, I decided it was time to introduce my boys to the homemade soda that I’d loved when I was their age. [Read more…]
My boys and I have been lucky enough to enjoy some pretty amazing vacations together, and I absolutely love looking back at the pictures and remembering all the fun we’ve had. I’ve started a tradition of picking one favourite photo from each vacation and having it printed and framed to hang on the wall so that I can relive the memories every day. So when CanvasPop contacted me about reviewing its beautiful 16×20 framed prints, I was thrilled.
CanvasPop.com specializes in customized canvas prints and framed art prints. The company’s quick service and attention to detail make it a great option for anyone that wants to showcase special moments in a gorgeous way. I chose one of my favourite pictures of the boys at the Mexico resort we’d visited in January and waited eagerly for my picture to arrive.
I love making tasty, healthier sparkling beverages with my Soda Stream machine and because I have it, I don’t buy soda very often. There’s just no need when I can enjoy all different types of beverages right at home that taste better and have less sugar than anything I can buy in a store. Now, SodaStream has introduced a brand new set of cranberry flavours from Ocean Spray just in time for the holidays!
I am absolutely giddy about trying these new flavours, but I can already tell that they’re going to be perfect to have on hand for whipping up fun and festive cocktails. To help you treat your guests to tasty beverages too, SodaStream is very generously offering one lucky Mommy Kat and Kids reader a fabulous prize pack containing a SodaStream Source Plastic Black and the new Sodastream Ocean Spray flavours, a $150 value! To enter to win, just leave a blog comment about which of the three new Ocean Spray flavours you would most like to try. [Read more…]
With the temperature finally warming, my boys and I are in the mood to enjoy all the pleasures of summer. Recently I received the new cookbook 200 Best Ice Pop Recipes from Robert Rose Inc. and whipping up one of the recipes promised to be the perfect way to enjoy the nice weather.
The recipes in this book range from the simple to the exotic and the best part is the recipes contain much healthier ingredients than any ice pop I could find in the store. I’m looking forward to trying some of the fancier recipes over the summer but since the boys were eager for a treat, I decided to whip up the incredibly simple Grape Lemonade Ice Pops first. With just three ingredients, water, lemon juice and grape jam, they were such an easy snack to make! [Read more…]
