Welcome to Baking, Babies, Diapers and Dinner!

I am a busy mom of 4 children.  Yes, that's right I said 4!  My husband is in real estate so he works crazy and unpredictable hours so most of the meal duties are up to me! Meal time in my house (and I'm sure any other family home) is hectic and can be very stressful.  I wanted to make meal time memorable in my home and I wanted to make food that they love - so I decided to really commit to making meals from scratch, to challenge myself by learning a new skill but also knowing what I was feeding my family!


 

After leaving my teaching career to be at home with my children I felt that although I was busy I still needed a challenge.  Since I was making meals already - why not learn to cook?  Not having time in my crazy schedule for a class, I decided to teach myself. Through my searches online, cooking shows on TV ( some of my favourites are Pioneer Woman, Rachel Ray, Top Chef and Food Network Star) , old family recipes and various cookbooks - I have found some real gems! I've learned a lot along the way and I feel that I have some meal ideas and tips to share with other busy parents out there. 

This blog is a collection of my family favourites.  Recipes I have tried, some I have modified and some entries will be new recipes where I will give you my honest feedback.

This is just one busy mom trying to keep her family happy and fed!  I have absolutely zero training in the kitchen and everything I have learned is totally from hands on experience.

 Hope you find this blog fun, interesting and inspiring.  Let's have some adventures in the kitchen together!
