Rockit Burger Bar Brunch {Review}

Brunch. It's a meal I enjoy on weekends but not nearly enough as I'd like. But I finally had a chance to enjoy an awesome brunch with my friend Melissa. It was a pretty special outing because it was also her birthday! So to celebrate, we enjoyed an amazing experience at Rockit Burger Bar. If you're a Chicago Cubs fan [The Baron], you'd appreciate this restaurant since it's located directed across the street from the famous Wrigley Field. This makes for great sidewalk eating to take in the vibe of Wrigleyville.So what can you expect at brunch from a burger bar? I was especially impressed with the delicious offerings...We left it to the expertise of Che

New Brunswick is a Canadian (and North American) Leader In Early Autism Intervention and School Autism Services

New Brunswick is a Canadian, and North American,  leader in early autism intervention and school autism services.  I do not doubt that that statement is enough to prompt a retort from many jurisdictions.  New Brunswick is not one of the wealthiest jurisdictions in Canada, let alone North America, but the fact is that New Brunswick has had publicly provided early ABA autism intervention to the extent of 20 hours per week for ages 2-5 for several years.  700-800 education aides and resource teachers also  received the same UNB-CEL Autism Intervention training.  These services have been provided by both Liberal and Conservat

Celebrate Friendship with... Chocolate

Happy Friday! With summer drawing to an end, The Baron and I are spending time with close friends while our schedules still allow. Not everyone keeps childhood friends throughout the years due to a host of variables... but when folks are able to do so, it really is a special thing. I met The Baron's best friend, G, last year and I remember being so nervous to meet him. Thankfully, we soon became friends and had some time to get to know one another. Both of them grew up down the street from each other when they were kids and have since maintained a very strong and close bond. I like seeing The Baron light up when he talks about the crazy fun they'

Fresh Corn & Avocado Salad

This time of year sweet corn is readily available and I love when my favorite market has it on sale. In fact, I recently scored a good deal [6 ears for $1] and stocked up on corn to play with. My immediate thought was to just boil the corn and serve on the cob. But because I had a handful of kiddies coming over, I figured it would be easier to serve the corn off the cob. That's when I thought a corn salad would be a good addition to my menu. A great salad that highlights the sweet flavors is this Fresh Corn & Avocado Salad. Sweet corn is tossed with creamy avocados, diced onions and snips of basil in a simple vinaigrette...So far this summer, this

Cinnamon Nut Roll Coffee Cake Redux

EVERYBODY (every Buddy) BAKESAfter a harrowing kitchen experience – thrice unlucky - followed by a resounding success, I shared my Cinnamon Nut Roll Coffee Cake with the Bread Baking Babes and, as is the tradition, invited others to bake along with us and earn their Buddy Badge. Not to mention allowing others to have such a fabulous yeasted coffee cake in the kitchen. And from what I have heard, there wasn’t coffee cake in the kitchen for long! This is the kind of treat that disappears in no time at all, it is that good!So, without further ado, here are this month’s Bread Baking Buddies and their own Cinnamon Nut Roll Coffee Cakes:Kelly of a Messy Kit

Smashed Steakburger Sliders

Over the weekend, we had friends come over for a relaxing and lazy Sunday at the pool. It was a great time for everyone - especially the kids! With both kids and adults in mind, I wanted to prepare a lunch that all ages could enjoy. Sliders seemed like a great choice since kids can appreciate the small portion size, while us parents could play with the buffet of toppings I provided. For me, I personally liked how easy it was to prepare in advance and with little effort! These Smashed Steakburger Sliders are bursting with beefy steak flavor, shallots, garlic and a hint of Dijon mustard and are baked in the oven to save time...When I entertain family an
