Mom’s here today showing everyone who ever doubted exactly where I got my math skills and love of happy dances from :) Let’s not pretend this cake is anything but an excuse to eat a massive layer of cream cheese frosting and feel ok about it because there’s fruit in the cake. Also, before we […]
Cranberry Bliss Cupcakes
Aren’t fourth pregnancies supposed to be predictable? I thought by now that maybe, just maybe, I would have this pregnancy thing figured out, but I most assuredly do not. I’m reasonably sure this little one will be the biggest “little” one to date, given its ability to kick me up under the ribs while simultaneously […]
Strawberry Oat Bars (with Strawberry Chia Jam)
While I’m still just as obsessed with chocolate as ever, I’m eating berries in at least equal amounts while the gettin’s good. But fresh berries don’t last forever, and sometimes you need to use a bunch quickly or risk crossing that fine line between sooooo juicy and sweet and ewwww gross my finger just went […]
Double Chocolate Skillet Cookie
Skillet cookies have more than one use around here. Not only do they satisfy any major sweet craving handily, they are also cooked in my cast iron skillet, which apparently can help with iron intake. Dark chocolate also happens to be high in iron, so this extra-chocolately jumbo cookie is really a health investment. My […]
Mom’s Recipes: Rhubarb Tart
Fresh rhubarb doesn’t last nearly long enough, so let’s make the best of it while it’s here! While my rhubarb plant is busy recovering from being a re-located weed, and I can sense rhubarb blitzes in my future, it’s a couple weeks away for me. Thankfully, Mom is here with another fabulous rhubarb recipe for a […]
Saturday Sweets: Dipped Coconut Macaroons
It’s a beee-yoo-tiful sunny cold day here in Ontario, the first draft of my impending paper is printed off for editing, and we’re off to visit my littlest sister and some butterflies, so it promises to be a great day! We won’t talk about the fact that Carl leaves on Monday, putting an end to […]
Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake
Happy New Year! What better way to start off the year than with a sticky caramel cake? New Years for many is full of resolutions about the sorts of food you will be eating, or not eating, but my resolution in that regard remains the same as always – eat a healthy, balanced diet, enjoy […]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Cupcakes
I am stuck in the vicious cycle of emptying my dishwasher just so that I can immediately fill it back up and start it again. This cycle is lousy because it means I’m not emptying my dishwasher in the morning, so dishes are piling up all day just waiting for me to give in and […]
Saturday Sweets: Apple Crumble Pizza
Well, it’s early in the season (in fact, the season is being stinkin’ elusive), but I feel confident declaring this my favourite new fall dessert. You all know how much I love my apple crumble, and I stand by my bold claim that it is the best ever, but this whole wheat apple crumble pizza? […]
Saturday Sweets: Peach Almond Bars
This week was peachy around here! Chelsea showed up mid-week with 40 lbs of peaches and we over-ambitiously flash-boiled every single one of them to make for easy peeling so we could make them into a variety of recipes for the freezer. Well, we ran out of steam mid-peeling (read: the kids ran out of […]
