Hey cyber world. I wanted to take a hot min and let you know, I’ve taken a few weeks off posting. Life is busy. Between working 4 days at 12 hours a day, 3 kids going to school, a puppy and maintaining a house and a blog. I’ve been pretty overwhelmed. So, taking a few weeks to just chill. My work life is going to be slowing down soon. And after a recharge of me time, I’ll be back on my game filling you in on all my meal plans 🙌🏻. Until then, I’m just a mum trying to do it all, and taking breaks when life is telling me to take breaks. And here’s a picture of my giant 13 week old puppy Goose 🤣 . . . . . . . . #canadianblogger #canadianmoms #mealplanning #mealprepideas #dinnerideas #dinnerprep #momlife #worklife #momsofinstagram #portperry #ontario #canadianmom #lifestyle #foodporn #foodie #dinnersofinstagram #familylife #honesttoafault #reallife #canadianlife #canadianfamily #greatdane #greatdanesofinstagram #newpuppy #giantpuppy https://www.instagram.com/p/CGtYN41lAI6/?igshid=1a7764ghgaj6t

Happy thanksgiving to the Canadians out there! It’s second wave here in Ontario so our feast is a little smaller this year. Just my fam and my wonderful sisters who I’m super fond of. These bitches always have my back, and I’ll always have theirs. Bonds like these are rare and just absolutely fantastic. Thanks @emily.hubers_ @baileymerc21 You ladies bring so much to my world and I’m sooooo thankful you’ve been along for this ride since birth. . . . . . . . . . #canadianblogger #canadianmoms #mealplanning #mealprepideas #dinnerideas #dinnerprep #momlife #worklife #momsofinstagram #portperry #ontario #canadianmom #lifestyle #foodporn #foodie #dinnersofinstagram #familylife #honesttoafault #reallife #canadianlife #canadianfamily #sisters #threebestfriendsthatanyonecouldhave #thanksgiving #canadianthanksgiving #tryptophan #canadianautumn https://www.instagram.com/p/CGODN5wltY-/?igshid=1q5hh5fnz68xf

@grabaplate Oktoberfest sheet pan dinner with roasted veggies This was amazing. So simple, so quick to prep. And great fall flavours to enjoy. It’s also mid week and after 3 12 hour days. I’m not really looking forward to completing another one. But then extra long weekend. Let’s get this week over with and on to thanksgiving... whatever that’s gonna look like this year 😬 . . . . . . . . #canadianblogger #canadianmoms #mealplanning #mealprepideas #dinnerideas #dinnerprep #momlife #worklife #momsofinstagram #portperry #ontario #canadianmom #lifestyle #foodporn #foodie #dinnersofinstagram #familylife #honesttoafault #reallife #canadianlife #canadianfamily https://www.instagram.com/p/CGD80FMFrBv/?igshid=yeast2y6rwdj

@tasteofhome Lasagna My fav. Nothing says hearty autumn like a big lasagna for dinner. I’ve been also making this one for years as well. Love that it combines meat and spinach/ricotta Birthday celebrations are done and it’s back to real life with meals and schedules . . . . . . . #canadianblogger #canadianmoms #mealplanning #mealprepideas #dinnerideas #dinnerprep #momlife #worklife #momsofinstagram #portperry #ontario #canadianmom #lifestyle #foodporn #foodie #dinnersofinstagram #familylife #honesttoafault #reallife #canadianlife #canadianfamily https://www.instagram.com/p/CGBUecZFnt9/?igshid=1on5h562d22hf

Hey folks! Happy weekend! Website has been updated with a new meal plan for this week. Yesterday Goose had his first play date with some of my besties new pups. Because it’s the year of the covid puppy! 🐕 So Goose, Moose (boxer) and Lacey (blue heeler/ACD) had a great time getting to know each other 😍 and this will be the only time Goose is the tiny one 🤣 Check out my website to get onboard for what’s coming up this week! #cheerstothefreakinweekend . . . . . . . #canadianblogger #canadianmoms #mealplanning #mealprepideas #dinnerideas #dinnerprep #momlife #worklife #momsofinstagram #portperry #ontario #canadianmom #lifestyle #foodporn #foodie #dinnersofinstagram #familylife #honesttoafault #reallife #canadianlife #canadianfamily #covidpuppy #greatdane #greatdanepuppy #greatdanesofinstagram (at Port Perry, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF4jWWpl6Yg/?igshid=vpacvip1y33a

@pinchofyum Instant pot Tandoori Chicken Again this is a previously made dinner, but one of our favs. Sooooo simple and sooooo fast to prep! We served it with rice. A recipe you can have ready to go, hit go on your instant pot and while it’s pressure cooking make your rice. Then like 15min later, dinner is ready. I made it to the end of another week. Hallelujah for the weekend! #cheerstothefreakinweekend . . . . . . . #canadianblogger #canadianmoms #mealplanning #mealprepideas #dinnerideas #dinnerprep #momlife #worklife #momsofinstagram #portperry #ontario #canadianmom #lifestyle #foodporn #foodie #dinnersofinstagram #familylife #honesttoafault #reallife #canadianlife #canadianfamily https://www.instagram.com/p/CF0f9oeluSU/?igshid=kvw6ai3d0zka

@tornadoughalli One Pr Creamy Sausage Gnocchi I’ve made this one before and I’ll make it again and again. It’s easy delicious and quick to prep. A perfect midweek meal.

@brooklynfarmgirl Roma Tomato Soup Was able to use up the last bunch of Roma’s from the garden and make a fresh batch of homemade tomato soup, with a side of adult grilled cheese. Literally soup and grilled cheese is my fav dinner. So simple and so fun to get creative with. We call them adult grilled cheese because we like to Boujee them up with fancy cheeses and ingredients. You know, things kids don’t like 🙄 Happy Tuesday 🙌🏻 . . . . . . . #canadianblogger #canadianmoms #mealplanning #mealprepideas #dinnerideas #dinnerprep #momlife #worklife #momsofinstagram #portperry #ontario #canadianmom #lifestyle #foodporn #foodie #dinnersofinstagram #familylife #honesttoafault #reallife #canadianlife #canadianfamily https://www.instagram.com/p/CFvQZzYFJ9Q/?igshid=ctdq1uibfqot

Monday Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon @alyssa_therecipecritic Nothing says fall like beef bourguignon 🙌🏻 So hearty and warm and tummy filling.

Well it’s Sunday evening and everything is ready for the week ahead. And apparently Goose hasn’t got the run down on how dogs beds work. It’s been just over a week that he’s been home with us and it’s been awesome, crazy, wild and fun! Kids are just loving having a dog. And even in a week we can see how much he’s grown! Cheers to another well planned week coming up! 🙌🏻 . . . . . . . . . . #canadianblogger #canadianmoms #mealplanning #mealprepideas #dinnerideas #dinnerprep #momlife #worklife #momsofinstagram #portperry #ontario #canadianmom #lifestyle #foodporn #foodie #dinnersofinstagram #familylife #honesttoafault #reallife #canadianlife #canadianfamily #greatdane #greatdanesofinstagram #newpuppy #greatdanepuppy https://www.instagram.com/p/CFqKs2al17h/?igshid=1wvo1bh2i15ko
