Canada’s Wonderland Funnel Cakes Won’t Be Missed – Make ‘Em At Home!

lilsugar

My family and I have been Canada’s Wonderland ambassadors for many years now, but what is more important is that we have also been members of the park for years before that. When I was little we’d visit with my parents annually, and as a teen my very first job was at Canada’s Wonderland. The park has been a huge part of making memories ever since I can remember. One of the things that we revisit upon park opening every year is indulging in their famous funnel cakes. Funnel cakes…

That was the day things changed. I kept them home. Here we are days…

Loaded Burrito Bowl Recipe

It’s no secret that I am slightly in love with all recipes that call for a little bit of chorizo. I make these healthy burrito bowls for myself at least once a week for lunch or a quick dinner option because they are so easy to make and taste amazing. If I am being completely honest, I do not like vegetables. I know, I am a horrible example of a grown woman but it’s the truth. It takes a lot for me to eat healthy on a regular basis and…
