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.

Perfectly poppable, shareable, and 100% touchdown worthy. These yummy chicken meatballs are stacked with veggies, oats, and fresh herbs then slathered with the tangy heat of buffalo sauce.

The GetJoyfull household is full of sports fans. Come by for a visit anytime and you’re sure to catch a game, sports podcast or documentary in full swing.

Tender, juicy, perfectly roasted chicken has always been a GetJoyfull family favourite. My family enjoys it so much that I often roast two at a time to ensure enough leftovers for soup and sandwiches.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. The GetJoyfull countdown to Christmas is on and our family is excitedly planning a spread of yummy dishes for the festive season.

In Case You Missed it last week the lovely @deanneferguson joined the Mama Joy Monday family with a mini masterclass on how simple, everyday rituals can help us regroup, refuel, and reconnect.
