Happy Thanksgiving Canada! Are you wondering what I am doing here with a mushroom salad when the rest of the country is eating pumpkins and sipping the pumpkin latte? Well, I was going to make a pumpkin dish as well… But… Changed my mind and decided to bake a squash. Technically, they belong to the…
Do you like partying like we do? We have been so lucky to have met a large group of families who like partying as much as we do here in British Columbia. And we do go wild once in a while 🙂 We do costumes, games, prizes and so on… Lots of it is thanks to…
You know I love simple dishes that don’t take hours to make. However, once in a while we do like making “unusual” meals just to keep it interesting 😉 This is one of those “not-quick” but totally worthy dishes. The vegan red beans burger with potato patties instead of a bun. Wanna check it out?…
It is mid-September and it’s been raining today. Which means it’s a perfect day for a good soup. Let it be a creamy soup with vegetables and green beans! It is vegan and gluten-free. We have added hot Thai pepper to make it a bit spicy (we love spicy ;)), but you can add any spices…

Woot! Woot! We got an award! I am so excited to announce that our Simple Family has been nominated and graciously accepted the Sunshine Blogger Award! This award is given by bloggers to other bloggers who are positive, inspiring, and creative. I wanted to thank One Sharp Mama for nominating us for this award! We…
If you asked me what my favourite cuisine is, I would have such a difficult time to name one only! I am so cosmopolitan when it comes to food 🙂 If you asked me to name just five, that would be easier! But I will still need to cheat a bit naming them: Oriental (this…
Hey! It’s a canning season here! Are you ready for a delicious raspberry-blueberry jam? Both my hubby and I grew up in the families where summers were very busy canning and prepping for winter. And our families were in no way unique doing that. Whoever I knew back then, was making homemade food, homemade, jams,…
