This is such an easy, delicious, and healthy recipe that can be enjoyed warm or cold.  I make a huge batch and eat it for lunch for a few days.

I adapted this recipe from from my new Yum & Yummer cookbook (Beets & Sweets Buddha Bowls).  Seriously, this is an amazing book.  The best part?  Each and every delicious recipe has a picture (so you know what you’re making), and a 1-minute online video.   (Note: Bad Moms Canada is...

Fellow Mamas – the holidays are upon us. Which can mean stress, with the countless events to attend, gifts to wrap, entertaining, and maybe even some travel. How about this year, we do things a little differently? Let’s not allow the stress take over. Deep breath. Here is a secret weapon to help make things a little more, um, tolerable 

This is a recipe just for Mama (I mean, you could share with other adults, but why?!)....

Last year leading up to Christmas, my husband and I were working hard to pay off our debts, and with Jingle bells soon approaching, it was time to get creative and economic with our gift giving. Christmas is the most ridiculously expensive time of the year. What better way to be thoughtful and economic than with homemade fudge? What’s the best Christmas present that you can send to EVERYONE on your list that’s made by the kids...

This past weekend, I spent most of it sick with a brutal head cold, chills, and sinus congestion.  ‘Tis the season – and it happens to me every year around this time, without fail.  On the flip side, my daughter C did use the potty all weekend!  We may almost be finished with pull-ups.  Woot woot!

My hubby recently got me a great book to celebrate some big changes in our lives.  This actually may be my most favou...

It’s the incredible thing about the end of the year and this inevitable hopefulness that goes along with the seemingly blank slate that a brand new year brings. 

I’ve been that person who usually has the same goals come 01.01.__ they usually sound something like, eat healthier, get in better shape blah blah blah. 

I’ve taken some notes from great things I’ve read and heard this year from friends and it’s helped me to nail down w...

So it’s Sunday afternoon, one son is with his grandpa and the other is asleep. This means I have sometime to reflect on Bad Moms Canada: what it is, what it was, and what it can become.

When the blog was first born, the Bad Moms team had no idea of the reach it would have. Pre-blog, I remember nervously sending out an invite to my mom pals saying “hey, you wanna be part of a blog?” knowing full well that I did NOT have the time...

Fellow Bad Mom Kristin is the ultimate drink master / delicious beverage mixologist. She’s always concocting amazing combinations whenever the Bad Moms get together. It’s super refreshing, and perfect for any occasion at all, such as:

• It’s almost Summer!

• I’m hosting a playdate! (make it for your Mom friends)

• I just hosted a playdate! (I’m tir...

Your kids will beg to eat apples with this easy hack!

If your house is anything like mine on the weekend it’s nothing but one snack after another and basically the minute they finish chewing one thing they’re in my face asking for something else. It’s literally endless!

I came up with these easy ‘Apple Nachos’ to fancy up this old classic and turn it into something my kids would devour…and boy do they ever!

Couldn’t be easier:

This right here is THE best homemade granola bar recipe I’ve ever found. And I’ve tried a lot of recipes over the years. Usually, I find them too sweet, with too much sugar, and they generally fall apart as soon as I cut into them. I started making these for my daycare provider – she doesn’t eat refined sugar – and I’m always looking for healthier versions of familiar favourites for my daughter. Plus they are no-bake, which is...

You guys. You MUST make this delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Shake. Immediately. I needed an afternoon pick-me-up, so I made this and it was insanely delicious. And healthy, too. If you love the combination of chocolate, peanut butter, and banana as much as my daughter and I do, you’ll love this recipe.

Enjoy!
