Bakerella

No, not Jaia or I.  The website.  I came upon it the other day and have been salivating ever since. It was also the source of the recipe that Jaia and I attempted on Friday (mentioned in Friday Goodness).  They are called cake pops and they were delish!  Sweet to the point of ‘eat only...

Apple Picking 2009

Halfway into our apple picking session, Dan mentions that he thinks that we may have had a good season this year.  The trees were chock full of the most delicious, giant and juicy apples.  I agreed at first, but then I realized, in all the years we’ve gone picking together, we’ve never made it there...

It smells OK …

… ever wonder whether leftovers from Saturday are still OK to eat for lunch Tuesday? http://stilltasty.com/

Our new reality.

Jaia has eczema.  It started very early on in her life, but only became a serious problem in the spring of 2008.  It’s not something that I talk about often, but it has been something we’ve struggled with for a long time. Any doctor will tell you that “it’s just eczema” and that there’s not...

Before we forget – August 28th

Dan and I are very lucky.  Though we haven’t worried much about it, we always wondered if Jaia would be a good eater.  The Fullertons love their food, and we don’t take breakfast, lunch or dinner lightly around our house.  And it turns out, that jaia is just like us.  Surprise, surprise. Growing up I...

Bento-fabulous!

Dan travels to Asia for work.  Not all of us can claim the same.  My work trips have taken me to far less exotic like locations including (and limited to) Toronto, London (ON) and…drum roll…Winnipeg.  So each time Dan packs his bag to head to Japan, China or Thailand, I can’t help but feel a...

More milestones.

Today we saw another first as a family.  In the springtime, as a kid, one of my absolute favourite things was to visit Dairy Queen.  Those were the days that actually saw the DQ close over winter, so their OPEN sign lighting up again after all those dreary winter months was a sure sign of...

OAFe – Patak’s Vindaloo Curry Paste

I am fairly new to the world of spicy foods.  I never liked them, could never handle them and never understood why anyone would want to burn their mouth off rather than just taste the food.  Dan, on the other hand, loves spicy foods.  He’s not quite a ‘suicide’ hot, but he’s pretty close.  We...

That time of year again…

Nope, not Christmas, though the aisles and aisles of decorations at any of your local big box stores (for those of us in the ‘burbs) would beg to differ.  The time of the year I’m currently excited about is Crock Pot season.  Having been packed away as the warmer months arrived last spring, our beloved crock pot...

Anti-OAFE – Terra Grill

Restaurant meals have been few and far between since Jaia’s arrival. It was easier when she slumbered peacefully in her carseat, but now that she’s mobile and incessantly ravenous, she’s a handful! Couple that with the terrible sleeps we get if we keep her out past 7pm, and restaurant visits just aren’t worth it. However,...
