I’ve learned a lot about “atmospheric rivers” in the last couple days, as the rain poured down and our kids’ school flooded, along with so many other homes and roads and businesses. Water is an incredible force of nature, and rivers in the sky are no joke. But when you’re unexpectedly at home with wind […]
Double Chocolate Zucchini Cake
My computer was revived long enough to get the necessary photos, hurrah! What is a recipe without a little convincing proof that I actually made the cake? We need to try at least one new zucchini recipe every year, and it’s even better if that recipe is a huge success. This one uses 3 cups […]
Lemon Bundt Cake
Some desserts are just so pretty I wish I could keep them on the counter for a few days as decor. Bundt cakes generally fall into this category, and this lemon bundt cake with its bright lemon glaze is no exception. Isn’t it a cake that just looks like spring? I know it’s officially summer […]
Pumpkin Coconut Cake
I need you to hold on a hot minute before you start thinking about Christmas baking. Every year requires at least one new pumpkin recipe be added to the blog, and it’s getting harder and harder to find one that catches my interest more than what I already have here. But not one to give […]
Blackberry Rhubarb Pie
You might have had strawberry rhubarb pie, but have you tried blackberry rhubarb? This is what happens in summer, when you look at the abundance of gorgeous fresh stuff in your fridge and don’t want to let anything go to waste: pie happens. First, though, you text your family and ask, blackberry & rhubarb: yes […]
Berry Meringue Torte
Also known as a berry pavlova, or meringue log? Naming recipes is almost as hard as naming boys. This berry meringue was Gemma’s birthday dessert request, and I made it again this weekend with just strawberries to be all red and white for Canada Day. All the helpful-aged children were out of commission with the […]
Doughnut Waffles
I have been so excited to share these with you since the day we made them two days in a row. Over Spring Break I had a couple new cookbooks to try out, one of which was the 150 Best Waffle Recipes. I assumed this book would be Carl’s, since he bought me the waffle maker […]
Lemon Raspberry Trifle
Last month we celebrated the birthday of my favourite person! He helped me out by running my errands one morning while I was at work, which included buying a birthday present for himself…good thing I had a couple surprises up my sleeve, like a shirt peppered with cacti (thank you, online shopping ;) I also […]
Ricardo’s Peanut Butter Brownies
February!! Have you all fallen off the healthy eating bandwagon yet? Are my Whole30 barely-acquaintances ready to become my real, fun friends again? Because brrrrooooooowwwnies! Basically I have (re)taken up exercising so I can (re)take up consuming more brownies. Ricardo (well, probably not him personally) kindly sent me a copy of this gorgeous magazine, and […]
Chocolate Mousse Torte
Carl’s birthday was in February, so the fact that I’m getting around to sharing the dessert from that occasion in April is a little sad, since all this time it’s been weighing on my mind how you’re all missing out on having this chocolate decadence in your lives. Obviously it wasn’t weighing too heavily, since […]
