Happy Easter weekend, everyone! Hot cross buns were an Easter tradition in my house growing up, but this is the first time I’ve made them myself. I find anything involving yeast is such a commitment for me – 3+ whole hours with the same recipe? What if I want to look around? What if something […]

Greek-Style Shrimp Scampi with Linguine
Follow my blog with Bloglovin …Good-bye Google Reader, let’s give something new a try :) So, how do people feel about shrimp? Shrimp is definitely a food that’s grown on me, from something I didn’t think I liked at all, to something I could tolerate when really hungry, to something I now actually crave at […]
Monday Moments
While Theo and his siblings continue to be completely enamoured with each other, I’m definitely seeing the not-too-distant future where the little guy becomes a source of frustration to his brother and sister. He can only roll one direction so far, but that doesn’t stop him from inching his way around the entire room, looking for a […]
FASHION FRIDAY: A Treasure Hunt and Sequins!
Today I am SO excited to debut a new feature on the blog!! We’ve been wanting to incorporate fashion in some regular way since the beginning of Hidden Ponies, and now I am so excited to announce that it’s actually happening, and not just in stories about people forgetting their pants. I’m thrilled today to […]
Best Ever Banana Muffins
It’s been too long since I posted a muffin recipe! I have been on a muffin making BINGE, and, having made every single muffin recipe known to man (ie. every muffin recipe on this blog), I then realized my mom had included a recipe in our family cookbook entitled “Best Ever Banana Muffins” which I […]
Easter Round-Up
If you’re anything like me, holidays have a way of sneaking up on you. St. Patrick’s Day? Yeah, I totally missed that green boat. I am not the blog to follow if you want holiday ideas weeks in advance, or are wondering what National Food Day you should be celebrating. I make it, I take […]
Monday Moments
I finally found a way to keep my 2-year-old boy in one place for more than 5 minutes (besides TV) – who would’ve thought painting would be the trick? You don’t generally think it will be a good idea to give paint and paintbrushes to a rambunctious whirlwind, but he’s getting too old to be […]
Saturday Sweets: Chocolate Cranberry Bliss Cookies
It wasn’t too long ago I made some Cranberry Bliss Cookies that I dubbed my favourite cookies so far this year. My parents were here this week so I wanted to make them again, but, finding myself with no white chocolate, I thought I was going to have to change my plans. Enter my 4-year-old helper: […]
Monday Moments
On Fridays I go to university. I’m pretty good at school, to be honest, and I really love it. But sometimes I take notes on whatever paper is handy in my purse or around my house, and I look reaaaallly professional pulling out Littlest Pet Shop notes in a meeting. But last Friday? We got […]
S’mores Cookies
Oooooh, cookies. I just never get tired of cookies. Today I’m super excited to share a new favourite cookie recipe with you! These cookies have it all: a chewy soft cookie, toasty marshmallows, chocolate, and serious cute factor. While “cute” was a questionable term when I applied it to this meatloaf, it is most certainly […]
Kid-Friendly Meatloaf
The things we do for our kids, right? This recipe was inspired when Gemma and I were looking through the Better Homes and Gardens New Junior Cookbook that we had taken out of the library, wondering which recipe to try together. I must confess to never having made meatloaf in close to 7 years of married life. […]
Monday Moments
Sometimes I worry about what Kristopher will do with himself when Gemma heads to school in September. He already spends much of his day entreating me, “Plaaaay with me!”, his lower lip quivering and eyes filling before I even start to respond, prepared for all-out dramatic hysterics if I say “Not right now”, or some […]
