Just popping in with a quick post today in case you have yet to make and decorate sugar cookies this year, and still have plans to. This is something I only do at Christmas because rolling dough makes me crazy and I never have shortening, which my mom’s (obviously delicious) recipe calls for. This year, […]
Three New Cookies
I haven’t posted many cookie recipes on here lately, and it’s because I was busy preparing some top-secret spectacular ones for this holiday issue that I now get to share with you all! I was honoured to be asked to come on board as a guest contributor for EatInEatOut magazine, an online magazine published by Lori, […]
Apple Cinnamon Energy Bars
There have been times when I’ve said about a recipe, “You could totally eat this for breakfast!” when actually it’s probably not the most highly recommended. That is, while I might eat it for breakfast, I wouldn’t let my kids do the same. Today though? You can totally eat these for breakfast, and so can the kids. Those same kids-who-want-breakfast […]

Baked S’mores Squares
S’mores are what camping is really all about. This summer’s brief camping foray reminded me that I’m not much of a beach person, don’t particularly like wandering down a dirt road to use a public bathroom home to an entire terrarium worth of small, unpredictable wildlife, have no fondness for dressing out of a duffel […]
Lemon Crumble Oat Bars
Sometimes it seems like it’ll be really easy to get what you want, until you actually try. When we moved into our new house, we knew that we wanted chairs for a small seating area in our kitchen/family room area. There isn’t a lot of space, so I don’t want anything huge, just a couple armchairs. […]
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 […]
Peanut Butter Date Snacking Bars
Self-checkouts are all the rage these days in grocery stores near me, and I always wonder how they manage to prevent major loss this way since it is would be so easy to bag two things at once, or just skip the bagging process altogether and walk on out with your belongings. The attendants never […]
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 […]
