Raspberry Bran Muffins

The first day of school is fast approaching, and if you’re like me, you’re looking for easy snacks and meal plans–stat!  While I still haven’t mastered the fine art of meal planning, I’m pretty good at whipping up a batch of healthy muffins.

Yum, I've just found an easy healthy breakfast recipe--raspberry bran muffins! Just like the ones from Tim Hortons. #raspberry #bran #muffinrecipe #healthy #healthyrecipe #breakfastmuffin #breakfast

This recipe was born out of a love of Tim Hortons Raspberry Bran muffins.  They are in stores seasonally, but I want them all year round!  The taste is pretty close, although I wish I could get them to rise better like they do in the store.

Grab your fresh or frozen raspberries and lets get started.

Every year I can't wait until Tim Hortons serves Raspberry Bran Muffins. They're my favourite! I developed this easy copycat recipe to fill the craving. Healthy, delicious, and perfect for snacks and back to school lunches.

10 Must-Have Summer Bag Essentials

The temperatures are soaring, flowers are blooming, the sun is shining. . . it feels like summer to me.  For our family, summer means impromptu play dates, trips to the splash park, lazy beach days, and lots of ice cream.  It’s hard living a block from the best ice cream spot in our city, but somebody’s got to do it. 😉

The bad part?  The crazy mess that’s left over when the fun is done.

Or even worse, running late because you can’t find the sunscreen or mosquito spray or insert whatever else you can’t leave without.

Enter the summer bag.

One place for all your essentials to be immediately emptied out and repacked when all the fun is done.

The summer bag was our sanity saver last summer, and this year will be no exception.  Here’s my list of 10 items we don’t leave home without, and a few nice-to-haves for certain outings.

Avoid the mess and stress this summer with one grab and go bag full of all your summer essentials. Perfect for keeping your kids happy and safe during all those trips to the park or beach.
