Frozen Berries and Vanilla Yogurt Pops

Frozen Berries and Vanilla Yogurt Pops

By //  by Life In Pleasantville 4 Comments

I love summer and I love summer foods.  I think we tend to live on BBQ meals, cold ones and tons of frozen pops.  Since we seem to inhale every frozen pop around in a matter of a day,  I started to make these super easy and delicious Frozen Berries and Vanilla Yogurt Pops.   Making these frozen pops is really too easy.  The kids will enjoy making them and creating so many different flavours.  I used strawberries and blueberries (fresh) because they are our …

Getting the Kids In the Kitchen + Our Snack Recipe

By //  by Life In Pleasantville Leave a Comment

  Beyond recipes, let's talk about kids, food, and kids and food. And because I can't help myself, I've included a fun recipe, too. Do you allow your kids in the kitchen? I'm not talking about letting them over the threshold to pour themselves a glass a milk or grab a snack. Do you let them create and be a part of the cooking process? Sure, they're messy, and the odds are high that occasionally they will create something you may need to dispose of, discreetly of …

By //  by Chef Christopher 1 Comment

While one could easily assume that lasagna was the pasta that inspired my foray into the culinary world - after all, Garfield and I seem to have a lot in common when it comes to that - it was actually a slightly different pasta that intrigued me. A pasta that is easier, healthier, and to this day remains my favorite. It was a day like any other back in 1997. I was finished college and looking to start my journey into the world of journalism and radio broadcasting. As luck would have it, I …

Ribs! We’re Bringing Sexy (Baby) Back

By //  by Chef Christopher Leave a Comment

"I had a barbeque stain on my white t-shirt, you were killin' me in that mini-skirt" - Tim McGraw Father's Day is just around the corner and Capital Ribfest is about to take over Ottawa, so why not take a look at one of the things dads love most: ribs. Growing up in Montreal, ribs were often an overlooked side-dish at "barbecue" restaurants, which typically consisted of boring rotisserie-style chicken. It wasn't until later in life that I experienced true barbecue flavour. Naturally, …

A Bunny Worthy Easter Brunch

By //  by Dee Brun Leave a Comment

Easter Brunch is one of my favorite things. I think because it is an official sign that summer is finally on it's way. The colors of Easter are pretty and fun. Brunch in itself is FABOOSH because it is served late enough in the morning it is more than acceptable to have a cocktail. After all brunch without alcohol is just a sad late breakfast...and of course there is the chocolate. SO...let's start with THE BOOZE!! I love a good morning Sangria. The key is to keep it simple. A nice …
