Popcorn with all the things is pretty much always a good idea. Gemma had plans to make this popcorn for Christmas Eve before Christmas holidays even came, but when little Jack arrived early it got pushed to the back burner as we significantly scaled back our offerings of food at family gatherings. Like, if we had […]
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie Dough Cheesecake
While scrolling through Instagram at my annual birthday hair appointment, I came across a cheesecake that stopped me in my tracks. It didn’t help that I hadn’t eaten lunch and was ravenously hungry; the worst possible time to look at pictures of food. I picked up the necessary 3 bricks of cream cheese on the […]
Homemade Oreos
There are few things I like better than a good giant Oreo entering my face. Oreos are one of my only hard cookie weaknesses (only the chocolate ones, not the goldens). Being able to make an even more delicious version at home can only be a dangerous thing. Thankfully they require the extra step of […]
Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
I rarely make pie, but when I do, I must say I make a pretty good pie. I think Strawberry Rhubarb is my very favourite flavour. Sweet, tart, fruity, and a beautiful colour to boot! My pie dough skills leave a lot to be desired – it’s never quite the right size, it’s always crumbling, […]
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, […]

From Mom… September marks the beginning of the year, […]
Mom’s Recipes: Roasted Strawberry & Rhubarb Eton Mess
I made a strawberry eton mess once, and it deliciously lived up to it’s name. Easy, sweet, light, creamy, crispy and, of course, messy. My mom has taken it further with the addition of rhubarb, and roasting, and she’s here to share it with us today! My rhubarb plant survived the move but I won’t […]
#MenchiesMyWay Frozen Yogurt Creations (Giveaway!)
Carl has never been more pleased with me and my blogging as when I agreed to be a summer ambassador for Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt. It was only three weeks ago that he had his first Menchie’s experience, and he was hooked. I had yet to experience it myself, but his rave reviews piqued my interest. Turns out […]
Field Berry Pie
I’m realizing that often I use the expression “I struggle with…” as code for “This really ticks me off and I complain about it more than I should.” For instance, “I struggle with the time around dinner when the kids are hungry and the house is it’s warmest and I feel like I need 23 more […]
Mom’s Recipes: Meringue Nests with Lemon Cream and Mixed Berries
A lot of people ask me, “how do you do it?”, and I’m never sure how to respond. Do what? When? Probably the best answer is not very well, and with a lot of help. No one can do it all, and my recipe testing has fallen far off to the wayside this past couple […]
