PC Salted Caramel Ice Cream is The Bomb
Here at lifeovereasy it seems we write about ice cream a lot. We make it, we eat it, we make recipes from it. Maybe it’s a little bit of ice cream overkill, but I couldn’t resist sharing one of my favorite finds of the year. Now you may become a little irate with me for [...]
Brunch At The King Eddy
Mother’s Day around my house was all about desserts this year. It was also about some lovely gifts the family spoiled me with, mind you. But after months of trying to stay off gluten and sugar, Sunday offered up several memorable opportunities for me to make up for some of that good behaviour. First thing, [...]
Barque is the BBQ Bomb
Yum. This really sums up the experience. Recently I had a chance to sample some BBQ treats at Barque. We were a diverse group and we were looking for something fun, different and casual to please everyone. This crowd is a little restaurant wary, but Barque fit the brief perfectly. The service was outstanding and [...]
Ice Cream You Can Eat For Breakfast
This is what we have been eating around here – a lot! My youngest has been whipping up a batch every few days.

Really Really Guilt-Free Ice Cream
Yes I’m that girl. The one that spends way too much time trolling through supermarket aisles, picking up new products and reading through the labels. It’s true no one wants to food shop with me. It’s always a way-too-long winded experience for most but once in a while it pays off in a big big [...]
Spring Sugarshack Fun
Well the sun has been out for a few days in a row and I’ve actually seen a couple of flip flops walking about. This weather makes me want to get out and experience nature a little, so what would be better than checking out the last week of the spring maple run. This is [...]
My Secret Addiction – Gluten-Free Whoopie Pies
You want these whoopie pies. Trust me. Whoever bakes these whoopie pies doesn’t need gluten. They probably use things like magic and fairy dust instead of gluten. They certainly don’t use any of those ingredients that make gluten-free baked goods taste like sawdust and weigh as much as bricks. They come in 2 flavours – [...]

The Real Signs Spring is Here
So we were able to scoot out of town and head up north this weekend. A quick getaway, gone Saturday and back Sunday. We’ve got two dogs in the house this week and thought they it would be a good idea to escape the mud and get to some snow before it disappeared. It was [...]
Sexy Water
Get blk. It does great things for your body. And it looks good in your hand. That’s a win–win in my book! This water is enriched with fulvic acid, which helps to promote hydration, increase energy, and raise the body’s pH – all good things, and who doesn’t need more
The Great Gluten-Free Sugar-Free Challenge
Strange things are afoot in the house these days. We have somehow become a gluten-free family. By choice. Sort of. Actually, it was kind of an accident. This all started back in November when I decided I wanted to start eating clean. Or at least cleaner. Since I am usually surrounded by 2 teens and [...]
Reno-cation Highlights – Treats from Zane
We are on “vacation” this week, or as my husband has coined it, a ‘reno-cation”. We decided to take a week and spend 2-3 days laying down a new hardwood floor in our bedroom and stair landings and then take off up north for the rest of the time. Famous last words. Here we are [...]
A Cheesy Valentine
How was your Valentine’s Day? Fun? Romantic? Exciting? Mine was a little cheesy. We had our usual Valentine’s breakfast, where I managed to modify our favourite baked French toast recipe to make it sugar-free and gluten-free. It was rushed and early, since the girls have busy schedules, but it was still a fun way to [...]
Hello Cupcakes!
I know it’s all about donuts these days. And you all know how much we love Paulette’s and Glory Hole. But there is something just so pretty about a cupcake. So light and sweet and delicious. While donuts are great and very Canadian and all that, they don’t quite make my heart flutter like a [...]
Peppermint Schnapps Brownies with Fireball Whiskey Icing and Dusted Cinnamon Hearts
Here is one recipe that has become a Valentine’s Day favorite. These brownies look special enough to serve as dessert and taste outstanding.

Valentines Flashback Fun
I’ve got Valentines Day on my mind, how about you? I thought I’d give you another peek at the Valentine’s Marshmallow Pops I made last year. Cute, no? I’ve made homemade marshmallows for the kids on Valentines Day since they were little. These are surprisingly easy, and taste much better than the store bought kind. [...]
Momofuku Noodle Bar NYC
Momofuku ramen Check out some snaps from my visit to the legendary Momofuku Noodle Bar in NYC. We regularly visit as many Chang establishments as we can get too – read my post on my Milk Bar love here. We ducked in for some late night eats on a recent visit. I have to say [...]
Pie in the Sky – Literally
Here’s a neat slice of pop culture compliments of one of my favorite sites, designboom. A compendium covering fifty years of meals served on all the space missions. For someone like me who is food-obsessed it’s interesting to think about what dinner looks like in space. For everyone not food obsessed, it’s curious to see [...]
Paris Patisserie in the Hood
Our Saturday morning (usually afternoon) routine usually consists of grabbing a coffee, stopping for some quality pastry and heading to our favorite dog park to take our pup out for a mega walk. I don’t really have a big sweet tooth, but I am pretty picky about that perfect bite of sweet crispiness and have [...]
Buried Treasure: Radicchio Under the Snow
Life at the cottage really winds down over the winter months. We tend to get buried under reams of snow and most days we contend with snuggling up with a good book or movie around the fire watching the birds fight the squirrels for the loads of birdseed we put out almost daily. Makes for [...]
