The Best Mom on the Block: Taco Puff Wreath

http://thebestmomontheblock.blogspot.com/2014/12/taco-puff-wreath.html

Monday, December 22, 2014. My parents host a Christmas Eve party (almost) every year and it's a lot of fun. Family, neighbours and friends stop by for laughs, news, reminiscing, Christmas cheer, and of course, food! I try to make something new every year, an appetizer, a dip, or something sweet. This year I'm making this! Arranged on a platter with a pretty bow, these make a really eye-catching addition to your holiday party! 1 tube Pillsbury Cresent Rolls. 1 cup prepared guacamole. 6 Arrange into a wrea...

The Best Mom on the Block: Greek Feast! Chicken Souvlaki, Rice Pilaf & Greek Salad

http://thebestmomontheblock.blogspot.com/2011/02/greek-feast-chicken-souvlaki-rice-pilaf.html

Monday, February 28, 2011. Chicken Souvlaki, Rice Pilaf and Greek Salad. I am not Greek. Such a craving hit this week and being that I don't live in a city, my ability to get Greek Take-Out is less than slim. A quick scouring of Google for recipes had me mixing and matching ingredients to recreate the flavours of some of my favourite Greek restaurants. I in no way claim this is an authentic Greek recipe, but the taste is spot on to any Greek food I've ever had and it was so easy! 1/3 c lemon juice. 2 Ske...

The Best Mom on the Block: Christmas Tree Roll-Ups

http://thebestmomontheblock.blogspot.com/2014/11/christmas-tree-roll-ups.html

Wednesday, November 19, 2014. We never have a holiday party because I'm never organized enough to have my house presentable and party supplies bought AND all the gifts bought and wrapped. Something has to give! But we do get invited to a few parties and I hate to show up empty-handed. How cute are these easy little appetizers from Life Made Delicious. I can whip these little bites up in no time and still have time to put on something sparkly! 1 pkg (250 g) cream cheese, softened. This is a Sponsored Post...

The Best Mom on the Block: Apple Nut Sticky Buns

http://thebestmomontheblock.blogspot.com/2014/09/apple-nut-sticky-buns.html

Tuesday, September 30, 2014. Apple Nut Sticky Buns. It's September, September means the return of my beloved book club meetings! Coffee, chat, books and treats. What could be better? Our first book of the year is The Five Love Languages for Children. Interesting read, not sure I subscribe to the theory 100% but I definitely see how my kids respond differently to different expressons of love. But I digress, let's talk about the most important part of book club. the treats! And I knew I had to try them!

The Best Mom on the Block: Review - Betty Crocker Chocolate Chunk Brownies

http://thebestmomontheblock.blogspot.com/2014/10/review-betty-crocker-chocolate-chunk.html

Wednesday, October 15, 2014. Review - Betty Crocker Chocolate Chunk Brownies. I got sent a box of goodies from Life Made Delicious. This month and I had to laugh. As I pulled each item out of the box I walked over to the pantry and pulled out basically the same product from the shelves. Everything they sent me, I already had! Usually I try something new and write about it, but since there was nothing new to me in the box I decided (okay, my stomach decided) to make a batch of brownies! My husbands second...

The Best Mom on the Block: (Orgasmic) Caramilk Fudge

http://thebestmomontheblock.blogspot.com/2009/08/orgasmic-caramilk-fudge.html

Monday, August 24, 2009. My favourite chocolate bar of all time, hands down, is Cadbury's Caramilk Bar. I've enjoyed other bars, even loved some of them, but I always come back to the amazing milk chocolate and caramel combination that is Caramilk. I used to get one everyday after school in middle school on my way home from the bus. I can honestly say the majority of my babysitting funds in seventh grade went to the corner store. Try it and tell me it doesn't live up to it's name. 2 c packed brown sugar.

The Best Mom on the Block: Pub Style Beer Battered Fish & Chips

http://thebestmomontheblock.blogspot.com/2011/01/pub-style-beer-battered-fish-chips.html

Sunday, January 16, 2011. Pub Style Beer Battered Fish and Chips. My husband's second favourite meal, after a huge juicy steak, is fish and chips. Shortly after we met I made this homemade version for him and I'm pretty sure that's why he proposed. My grandma never bought frozen fish sticks or frozen french fries. She was a "from scratch" kind of lady. I inherited her love of making food the old-fashioned way, so when my family wants "fish sticks" this is what they get (no complaints so far! 7 Add the co...
