Chocolate chip cookies never go out of style, and I’m glad. They will always be one of my favourite snacks, but I never thought I would share a recipe for any since everyone seems to pretty much have a go-to one that they love from somewhere or another. Who am I to tell you to […]

Jalapeno Cheddar Hamburger Buns
Some weeks I buy a jalapeno or two, other weeks I buy none. One or two usually last me two or three weeks, maybe more. Last week I came home with 8 jalapenos. Sometimes I wonder who takes over my body in the grocery store and tells me to do such crazy things. And then […]
Saturday Sweets: Cadbury Creme Egg Brownies
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say something I’ve thought long and hard about. These are the best thing I’ve made so far this year. There you have it. Need I say more? Oh, you know I can’t resist :) First, I have a disclaimer: Carl did not think these were the […]
Easy Cheddar Chive Biscuits
When spring arrives and the flowers bloom, I am always thrilled to get a cool, rainy day. Call me crazy, but I hang onto fall and winter as long as I can – I love the coziness of being inside, the cooler temperatures when I’m outside, and the food, all the winter food! I just […]
Glazed Chai Spiced Muffins
I’ve been trying to cut back on sweets just a little lately, mainly because my 1 year old is a snackaholic and I can’t even look at a snack while he’s awake without being forced to give him some. My 3 year old was never, and still isn’t, that into sweets, and would take raw […]
Whole Wheat Lemon Raspberry Muffins
I think it’s fairly well established that I am a muffin lover. So instead of rehashing that, can we talk about painting prep? I know, it’s a random subject, but with summer around the corner I have already had to deal with several interesting conversations in my job at a paint store. Take yesterday, for […]
Guest Post: Nutella Rice Krispie Squares
Guess what?? It’s my very first guest post! I was kind of nervous to spread my rambling self outside of my personal little internet zone, but I was so honoured when Kim asked me to guest post for her blog, Cravings of a Lunatic! You can find me over there today talking about these delicious […]
Home Improvements: Little Boy Blue
Since I showed you Gemma’s bedroom, I thought I’d share Kristopher’s room too! I love his room almost as much as hers! Although I was sad to sell my little toddler bed and replace it with a full size twin bed, we were so thankful to get the bunk beds from some friends who […]
Easter Traditions: Poffert
Happy Saturday!! This recipe reminded me again of how wonderful it is to blog with my sister – while I was planning Easter picnics for the kids, making weird brown gingerbread eggs, and going to concerts, she was hard at work on Easter recipes. Since she gets to go away for the weekend with family, […]
Pumpkin Spice Muffins
Does anyone else have a problem choosing a mascara? I was once again reminded of my inability to choose which one to get when my latest tube ran out. I am a grown woman. I make decisions. I make choices. Some are big, some are small. But why, oh why, am I completely inept at […]
Rhubarb Cinnamon Muffins
I love completing things I’ve pinned on Pinterest. The majority of things I check off are recipes, so it’s doubly exciting when I actually manage to pull off something decor related. I found this fantastic idea on the lovely blog Not JUST a Housewife, and immediately fell in love. I’ve had empty walls in the […]
“Free Range” Gingerbread Easter Eggs with Royal Icing
We don’t usually post on Sundays, but “First on the Second” just doesn’t have quite the same ring as “First on the First”, so happy April 1st! No fooling here, sorry, and I do not look forward to the day someone shares the joy of April Fool’s Day with my innocent kids. Believe me, you […]
