The Great Muppet Caper & Muppet Treasure Island – 2 MOVIE COLLECTION

Let's face it, with the wacky weather we have been having,  it isn't always feasible to spend a lot of time outdoors.  We all love winter activities like sledding, snow fort building or skating, but some days it is just too cold and blustery.   So, if you are  looking for a great way to keep the kiddos entertained during the cold winter days or evenings and on snow days, I have just the thing! A treasure trove of hearty laughs is yours when two of the funniest, most action-packed Muppet … [Read more...]

Grammie’s Oatmeal Molasses Brown Bread

I mentioned in an earlier post how most of Canada is now in the midst of the "dog days" of winter.  I live on the east coast and we have already been totally pummeled this year and winter has officially, barely begun.  On December 23rd we were entombed in ice more than an inch thick, lost power for days (many for up to 11 days!) had four successive snow storms and are now in the midst of bone chilling, record breaking cold temperatures. What is a girl to do with all of this wild weather but … [Read more...]

Increase Your Vitamin D Intake with Kellogg’s Cereals!

In most of Canada we are now in the midst of the "dog days" of winter.  The cold, gloomy, snowy days that make curling up in bed with a good book the only acceptable activity!  I live in eastern Canada and we have been totally pummeled this year and winter is barely two weeks old!  On December 23rd we were entombed in ice more than an inch thick, lost power for days (many for up to 11 days!), had three successive snow storms, four if you count today and are now in the midst of bone chilling, … [Read more...]

2013 Traffic Report {w/Linky}

2013 Traffic Report I posted my first "traffic report" in 2012. I noticed several other blogs had posted their's, so being a very inquisitive person I had to find out what my stats were too. It is super interesting to see all of the yearly stats, discover where my traffic is originating, what sites are referring traffic, what blogs are referring traffic and of course, top blog posts and top recipe posts for the past year. I followed the format of some of the other blogs and then customized … [Read more...]

Top 10 Recipes of 2013

I thought it would be fun to do a round-up of the Top 10 Recipes of 2013.  To determine which recipes made the top 10 list, I went to my site stats and looked at the top posts for the last year and picked out the top 10 recipes. It is actually very interesting and sometimes a bit surprising to look back over the last year and see what posts brought in the most traffic.  If you haven't already done so, you should have a look at your stats, I'm sure you will find it very interesting … [Read more...]

Next Issue Canada ~ 100+ Magazines at your Fingertips {FREE 30 Day Trial!}

I have always had a bit of an addiction to magazines and often scour the newsstand for the release of a few of my favourites!  Do you sometimes find yourself doing this too?  Honestly, for a few reasons, I had recently cut back on my magazine obsession.  At $6.00 or $7.00 an issue and often much more,  it was becoming a bit of an expensive habit. There is the "green" factor too. I shudder to think of the trees that die each year so people like me, can read up on the latest news, gossip, fashion … [Read more...]

Who would like to see a few great Nalgene products under the tree or tucked in their Christmas stocking? I know I would!

Cranberry Pistachio Bark ~ A Little Piece of Heaven!

The first time I had this little piece of heaven on a plate, that is Cranberry Pistachio Bark, I fell totally in love!  It was about 15 years ago and a colleague of mine had brought in a tin of this luscious ambrosia during the holidays. After stuffing  a couple (OK, a few) pieces of this food of the gods into my mouth I knew I needed to have the recipe. Thankfully, my kind co-worker readily agreed and quickly gave me the recipe from memory.  Yes, it is that easy that you really don't even … [Read more...]
