These cookies are easy as pie to make and a great way to get the kids eating their vegetables.

They taste just like, believe it or not, carrot cake! Well, without the frosting – which means they’re low in fat, low in carbs, gluten-free, and absolutely deadly.

On top of all that, they’re super moist on the inside and full of fibre. Wait, it get’s better. You’ll have delicious, mouth-watering cookies in under 20 minutes!

Okay, before I start sounding like an infomercial, let me start telling you exactly how I came to make these:

When I think of spring being just around the corner, Easter immediately comes to mind. And with that comes delicious desserts, baking and painting eggs with my girls.

I absolutely love Easter. I love when my husband hides the easter eggs and our toddlers frantically hunt for their chocolate (oh, how they do love their chocolate!)

But most of all, the smell of fresh, rich carrot cake  warm and ready to eat.

Carrot Cake Cookies (Gluten-Free, Low Fat, Kid-Friendly)

For those tuning in, I have a three year old and a two year old, so “cookies mom, COOKIES!” is a common phrase in our household.

Remarkably, I was able to mix up some carrot cookie batter that’s healthy and tasty enough to get the whole family to want to dig right in. Score.

For the love of cookies:
  • Oatmeal Raisin Pumpkin Cookies (Gluten-Free, Paleo, Toddler Friendly)
  • Almond Butter Cookies (Flourless, Gluten-Free, Dairy Free)
  • 4 Ingredient Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

Did I mention that they make your home smell spectacular?! That’s the cinnamon.

#AD The living room is the heart of our home, and #AD The living room is the heart of our home, and so is our television. We live for all of the cozy movie nights together as a family, or the simple everyday uses, like asking “Hey Google” to tell us the weather or to play a favourite song, not to mention navigating through apps like it’s nobody’s business! (our old TV lagged like crazy and would completely freeze).

It was time for an upgrade — our new @HisenseCa TV exceeds our expectations and is everything we wanted and needed for our family. It’s affordable, functional and convenient, and the quality is outstanding. They really hit it out of the ball park by making a luxury TV with all of the essential features at an affordable price. The picture is crystal clear, it’s easy to mount, quick start-up, and looks perfect over our fireplace!

A few specs of the 65U88G Android 4K QLED Premium:

-Access to a huge selection of apps (400,000 TV shows and movies in Canada)
-Native4K UHD Resolution
Dolby Vision + HDR10
-Chromecast & Google Assistant built-in
-120Hz refresh rate, 6ms response time
-Hisense proprietary ULED technology meets Hisense QLED (Quantum Dot)

Let’s settle a debate. Android or Roku? Which model would you choose?

Feels like summer! We went to cheer on big sister Feels like summer! We went to cheer on big sister at track meet and G is officially out of her infant car seat and in her big girl @clekinc like the little boss baby that she is 😂 Tell me, how long do you keep your LO’s in rear facing position? Do you wait as long as possible or switch to forward facing around the 12 month mark?
