    • Savoury Breakfast Muffins Recipe

      Posted at 1:54 pm by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on February 9, 2016

      I wasn’t planning on making these muffins.  If I remember correctly, I wasn’t in a baking mood.

      It was pretty early in the morning, but my daughter had woken up full of energy.  I felt a little tug on my arm with her cute little voice saying “let’s make muffins mommy!”   She’s lucky she’s so darn cute!

      Our kitchen was pretty much bare.  You know the feeling you get the day before grocery shopping when you swear you see tumbleweeds in your cupboards?  I really had no idea how we were going to bake muffins.

      I first thought bananas but of course we were out of those.  Apple sauce? Nope, out of that too.

      I popped my head into the fridge and found the golden ticket: leftover soup!  My Roasted Tomato + Carrot Soup from last week’s post.

      The texture was close enough to a mashed banana consistency so we went with it.

      I’m glad we did because they turned out amazingly well!  The aroma must have been pretty great as well because as soon as the muffins came out of the oven, the rest of the family began crawling out of bed.  Isn’t it interesting that they just happen to wake up right after fresh baked muffins come out of the oven?

    • Roasted Tomato + Carrot Soup New Instant Pot Recipe

      Well, you might have been wondering if I had dropped off the face of the planet.  It’s been over two months since my last post so, yeah, I guess you can say I’ve been MIA.

      Sometimes we all need to take a step back.  The world is very busy and it’s a great re-energizer to spend some time away.  I practiced being totally present in the moment and engaged with family and friends.  I also had time to collect thoughts, and let’s be honest, focus on real world stuff!

      Today I’d like to talk about the Instant Pot and share a recipe for Roasted Tomato + Carrot soup.  Have you heard of the Instant Pot? Let me say…it’s totally and completely revolutionized my time spent in the kitchen.  I’m actually quite in love with it.  I make delicious soups like this one below.  all.  the.  time.

      So what is the Instant Pot?  If you’re not familiar, it’s an electric pressure cooker that also happens to serve as a slow cooker, steamer, and yogurt maker with quick modes like soup, meat/stew, poultry, rice and porridge.  You can also sauté and brown your meat right in the pot.  I LOVE the sauté function.  Say hello to one pot meals and goodbye to additional pots and pans.  Yippee.

    • Oregano Roasted Potatoes with Lemon Slices

      Posted at 3:54 pm by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on November 13, 2015


      SimplyWholeFoods_Oregano Potatoes

      A tasty side dish can be as simple as roasted potatoes.  Potatoes are a cost effective, satisfying and hearty option.  They are a delicious comfort that we all love right??

      Potatoes are generally one of the most cost effective root veggies and this time of the year they are super cheap!  I just picked up a 10 lb. bag of for $1.99 CAD.

      After you scrub ’em and chop ’em, go ahead and toss ’em with your favourite herbs and a few dollops of healthy fat.  Also be sure to add a splash of citrus.  Properly salting your potatoes is they key to a delicious flavoured potato.  Some suggestions of herbs and spices include: oregano, basil, paprika, dill, turmeric, red pepper flakes.  Pick your favourite combination and sprinkle away!

      I love easy dishes like these that don’t require a ton of ingredients on hand.  Sometimes there’s just no need to over complicate things!

      These roasted potatoes come together with less than 5 ingredients and are easy peasy to make.  No need for measuring spoons because roasted potatoes are pretty forgiving.

      Here’s how I made these scrumptious potatoes: Continue reading →

    • Level Up Your Child’s Lunch with a PlanetBox Kit (Review and Giveaway!)

      Posted at 3:57 pm by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on September 20, 2015
      My son's lunch on the first day of grade 1. Pretty healthy huh??

      My son’s lunch on the first day of grade 1. Pretty healthy huh??

      If you’re a parent of young children then you’re probably all too familiar with lunch packing.

      Making lunches is not as easy as it might sound!  You need to be organized, creative and always have food on hand.

      The real thorn for me was the packing.  Endless food containers and missing lids contributed to a lot of unneeded stress.  You know those mysterious house gnomes that hide your car keys and seem to eat your pairing socks?  I’m pretty sure container lids are their next favourite target.  I always end up with a ton of containers with missing lids.

      My son is only 6, so the number of containers that he has to worry about keeping track of is hard for him as well.  Not to mention opening and closing them all properly.  I’ll often open a lunch bag with yogurt everywhere because my son didn’t close a lid properly.

      I’m so thankful those days are done with the arrival of his new lunch kit from PlanetBox.  Have you heard of them?

      SimplyWholeFoods_PlanetBox_Review

      Lunch bag, Rover box and little dipper shown  (Spork not included!)

      One container with one lid that is permanently attached!  Eco friendly, made of durable stainless steel and will hopefully be the only box my son needs for the rest of his school days. Continue reading →
