Everything’s coming up blueberries in the GetJoyfull kitchen this week with breakfasts, snacks, and even homemade sausages on Canada Day—all boasting these tasty blue gems.

Sunny days are a sure sign picnic season is here and summer is around the corner. Will you be packing up for a picnic this month? I know we will!

This week’s GetJoyfull Snack Plan features a delicious, make ahead treat that’s truly summer on a stick!

This Mother’s Day I’m looking forward to a few of my favourite things. Coffee in bed before all my munchkins wake up, an uninterrupted bath and tasty tostadas for dinner. 

May 4th to 10th is Mental Health Week, and rallying call for all of us to #getreal about how we really feel. For many of us, myself included, it can start with talking about the stresses of everyday life, and the stress of our “new normal.”

Now that we’re spending so much extra time at home as a family, I’ve been finding myself in the kitchen a whole lot more. The downside is a constant pile of dishes, but the upside is a stock of recipes that keep my heart happy.

In stressful times, cooking together as a family can be a great way to relax and escape worries of the day. Thankfully, my kids like to help out at mealtime and Papa can be enticed with snacks.

With everything that’s going on in the world, and at home right now, our family is hunkered down with a plan to make all our favourite comfort foods in the coming weeks. Our hearts need it.

It’s hard to believe, but March is here. Did you know it’s National Nutrition Month? This year’s campaign is focusing on “More than Food,” and encouraging all of us to consider not just WHAT we eat, but HOW we eat, too.

It’s World Pulses Day and we’re celebrating with an after school snack of yummy, crunchy “Pizzalicious Chickpeas.” As a Dietitian, I love that they’re loaded with fibre and folate.
