Make This Easy Pumpkin Cream Cheese Roll for a Hit Holiday Dessert

December 23, 2017 by Kathryn 29 Comments

When it comes to holiday baking, there are a few tried and true favourites that my family absolutely can’t live without. Benjamin always requests his favourite No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars. And Zackary and my husband are both fans of my foolproof Butterscotch Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies.

But personally, my favourite holiday treats must have my favourite holiday ingredient…Philadelphia Cream Cheese! The smooth, tangy taste of Philly is good for so much more than just cheesecake. And that’s why my holiday baking always includes this scrumptious Pumpkin Cream Cheese Roll. It’s easy, looks fancy and tastes absolutely divine! [Read more…]

As much as I love trying new and different foods and recipes, there’s just no beating a classic. And in our house, Kraft Creamy Peanut Butter has always been a classic choice for my recipes, whether I’m making a simple batch of peanut butter cookies or a savoury Thai Peanut Beef recipe.

Easy Glazed Maple Dijon Salmon Recipe Perfect for Summer

August 8, 2017 by Kathryn 32 Comments

I’ve always thought of mustard as a bit of a magical ingredient. Just a small amount turns an ordinary food into something extra special, whether I’m adding classic Heinz Yellow Mustard to a hot dog or putting a half-teaspoon of mustard powder into my egg salad sandwich filling.

But my favourite variety of mustard, both as a cooking ingredient and a condiment, is Dijon mustard. And new Heinz Dijon Mustard delivers delicious Dijon flavour in a convenient squeeze bottle that’s perfect for summer cooking.

Since our newest addition, Baby Cormac, joined the family five days ago, I don’t have the time or the energy to cook up anything too elaborate at the moment. But the great thing about Heinz Dijon Mustard is that it adds gourmet flavour to food without a lot of work! And my version of this simple Maple Dijon Glazed Salmon is the perfect example of that!

Is there anything better than a bite of creamy, dreamy, melt-in-your-mouth milk chocolate? I don’t think so, and when I decide to indulge in a treat, chocolate is usually my first choice. So, when I find a new way to enjoy my favourite flavour, I can’t wait to dig in.

And this summer, there’s a perfect way to do that…new Hershey’s Chocolate Pudding cups! Recently I received some of this decadent refrigerated chocolate pudding to test out for myself and I couldn’t wait to try it.

Easy Tomato Parmesan Breadsticks Recipe with Classico Riserva Roasted Garlic Dipping Sauce

May 2, 2017 by Kathryn 1 Comment

If there’s one thing that I’ve learned during the last few years, it’s that life is much easier when I have a few pantry staples on hand to whip up a quick meal. I love a good pasta sauce but with one boy in soccer and another in baseball, making sauce from scratch just isn’t on my agenda right now. So, I love that new Classico Riserva sauces are made to have a taste that’s almost as good as homemade, without the work!

Containing high-quality ingredients with no preservatives and no added sugar, these sauces come in five mouth-watering varieties: Marinara, Arribbiata, Roasted Garlic, Puttanesca and Eggplant Artichoke. I recently received the Classico Riserva Roasted Garlic pasta sauce so that I could cook up something tasty and for a change, I decided to think outside the pot and make a non-pasta recipe! These easy Tomato Parmesan Breadsticks with Warm Tomato Garlic Sauce are a quick and delicious appetizer, side dish or snack that the whole family will love! [Read more…]
