Nobody cheeses like this guy cheeses. Me: Can I take a picture of you lookin’ so handsome? Him: Shhhheeee-uuuuurrre! Me: Can you smile nicely? Him: Cheeeeeeeeezzze! Me: Maybe try saying….yogurt? Him: Hahahahahaha! Cheeeeeeeeeze! Me: I love you. Never change. This kind of enthusiasm can’t be taught.
Five-Banana Bread
Sometimes I get frustrated by the constant mess in my house and get on my kids’ case about helping out, putting things where they belong, etc. Then I notice my one-year-old puts his milk cup back in the fridge and brings his empty snack bowl to the dishwasher, and I wonder where all the mess is […]
Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
I love oatmeal cookies almost as much as I love chocolate cookies. Why have I never thought to put the two together before? Too much of a rule follower? Not enough mental energy for creative thought? Probably both, a little :) Although on the mental energy front, major gains are being made here, folks. My 3 […]
Nanaimo Bar Cheesecake
Sometimes you just know something is going to be a hit. Or at least, you buy the 4 bricks of cream cheese and a bunch of chocolate and whipping cream and hope like crazy you aren’t disappointed about moving up a pants size. I am not the least bit disappointed. Of all the crazy things, […]
Chocolate Oat Muffins
It was time for a new muffin recipe. Soup was on the dinner menu to combat the sickness that finally made it’s way to our house (I had hoped with March’s arrival we had missed the fall/winter plagues, but alas), and soup-for-dinner always calls for some kind of freshly-baked side. I was thinking chocolate chip muffins to […]

Triple Chocolate Cookies
Two days ago, we walked home from bringing Gemma to the bus stop, opened the garage door to go in, and a large, glossy red chicken walked out. This was surprising, considering we don’t own chickens. The boys, needless to say, were thrilled, especially since the confident hen noisily clucked back at their every […]
Funfetti Sugar Cookies
Last weekend we went out for nachos and dessert because, well, healthy, and something shocking happened. I couldn’t finish everything, Didn’t even want to finish everything. Couldn’t have eaten more if I tried. I’ve officially transitioned Gavin onto bottles and, with the loss of breastfeeding, I get full again. I literally haven’t felt really, truly full for the […]
Cranberry White Chocolate Magic Bars
Sometimes I am seriously surprised to realize I haven’t shared a particular recipe with you on this here site of wonder. These particular bars, for instance. I contributed these to our family cookbook 5 years ago and have made them semi-regularly since – how have I never told you about them?! My friend Alyssa would tell you […]
