Two ingredients that I often try hard to cut back on are sugar and fat. When I first heard of Dempster’s ZERO bread with no added fat or sugar, I honestly thought it was too good to be true, but after reading the label and tasting the bread, I now know that what you see is what you get and it tastes GREAT too! On the weekend, I picked up a loaf of Dempster’s ZERO bread and made my children a fun Olympic and early Valentine’s themed lunch. Children absolutely love it when food is presented to them in a … Continue reading →

On New Year’s Eve, I made some fun chocolate cookie pudding pops using my new popsicle maker. The recipe called for pudding so I used two Snack Packs, vanilla flavour. Our dessert pops turned out so delicious! The popsicles were super easy to make, however, the most convenient thing about Snack Packs is that they make a yummy and fun addition to a child’s lunch bag for school. Making lunches fun is something that I love to do! I love to use cookie cutters and sandwich cutters to create fun shapes. I love to get creative with notes in my … Continue reading →
