You know that thought you have when it’s summer time, and it’s beautiful outside, and someone offers you a plate of something sinfully delicious, and you have that nagging thought: “Oh dear, I’m probably going to get coerced into a bathing suit only minutes after I finish this”? Well, it’s officially time to welcome Fall!! […]

Fruit & Granola Wraps
I have a new favourite breakfast. And a new favourite lunch. And I’m sharing them both with you on the same day, can you believe it? AND I’m sharing them conveniently close to sharing homemade granola with you, which can be put to good use in this “recipe” of sorts…although I admit I used a […]
SATURDAY SWEETS: Pumpkin Chocolate Toffee Coffee Cake
Ok, I give in. All the pumpkin recipes circling the blogging world and covering Pinterest make my head spin…and make me very, very hungry. I’m not much of a bandwagon jumper, but this is definitely one of those times I am happy to follow the crowd – it’s a smart crowd. It’s time to break […]
Basic Homemade Granola
I used to be a honey-hater. Turns out I was buying the wrong honey, and getting the wrong impression from those horrid yellow and black fuzzy jackets. Don’t judge a book by it’s fashion, I suppose. Something like that. When you’re incubating a small one and want it to come out with all the appropriate […]
Thankful
We’re back from an amazing extended weekend of much-needed holidays and, while that means a week of playing catch-up lies ahead, there is so much to be thankful for. Healthy, happy kids who love me and each other. A baby who has figured out how to turn head down and is now growing well and […]
Saturday Sweets: Lightning McQueen Car Cupcakes
Thanks so much for following along with muffin week!! To top it off we have an extra special kind of muffin – THE CUPCAKE. I love birthday cake and cupcakes, and it is one of the few scents and flavours I crave when pregnant, so I was thrilled to have an opportunity to make (and eat) some! […]
Glazed Lemon Blueberry Muffins
Yesterday my little man turned TWO! I can honestly hardly believe it, and at the same time I can’t believe he hasn’t been two for ages. I can hardly believe it because I feel like I missed most of his first year and a bit in a blur of us not really getting along or […]
Orange Chocolate Muffins
You know those times when you truly wonder why we do the things that we do? I had one of those this morning. I was attempting to pull a load out of the dryer, and put a new one in, with the help/hindrance of b’s little exploring hands, so eventually I grabbed the big ball […]
Vanilla Chocolate Chip Muffins
I think it’s high time we had a theme week here at Hidden Ponies! We almost had a breakfast theme going, but it was never quite official or quite consistent – so welcome to official MUFFIN WEEK! An official name means good things are sure to follow :) Today’s muffin recipe is a simple […]
Peanut Butter Oreo Ice Cream Pie
Sometimes you come across a recipe you know is bound to become a stand-by for many years of parties to come. Enjoyed by kids and adults alike at a Labour Day barbecue, this “pie” is impressive to look at, and ridiculously easy to throw together. I imagine my kids will be asking for this for […]
Mason Jar Display Wall – Take 2
Remember when I thought it would be such a good idea to plant my herbs in mason jars and hang them on my walls? Yeah. I should’ve realized that you don’t put some things where the sun don’t shine and expect them to thrive. Long story short, the herbs moved to my kitchen windowsill, where […]
Carrot Lentil Soup
Yesterday I went to my first day of school, for about the 30th time, and it was as good as ever, even if I was showing up in a minivan. I absolutely love fresh, clean, lined paper, new pens that flow smoothly over the page, and the slightly overwhelmed feeling I get when I look […]
