Life In Pleasantville
Food, Travel, Life
I can safely say that rarely a day goes by without a tomato crossing my lips. I love them. That’s why this Cherry Tomato Bake is a household favourite. It takes very little time to throw together and it’s a terrific side dish with meat or fish. It also brings through that roasted flavour I …
I recently had the opportunity to test the new Kraft Fruit & Veg Dressings. What I love about these dressings is that they’re made with real fruits and vegetables, have no artificial flavors or colors and, most important in this post-heart attack home, is that they are also low in salt and fat. I’m happy …
I posted this recipe for Rice Krispie French Toast when I first started Life in Pleasantville. I didn’t like the original picture and the title was less than search friendly. Also, I got this recipe from a friend and couldn’t remember where she got it from originally, so I wasn’t able to hand along proper …

What I’m trying to tell you is that these muffins are calling your name. Don’t ignore them. These are perfect for school lunches. Wrap and …
Today, I’m loving lemon bars. Snowmageddon Part Deux or Trois, I can’t keep up, is on it’s way today, this second last day of February and I’m trying hard not to get cranky. I am so over this winter. But the signs are there that spring is just around the corner. The days are getting …
I love chips. Chips and me go way back to my formative years, where we would curl up on the couch together and watch Gilligan’s Island. Chips are the best thing ever. Kale chips? Not so much.
