Ok, I give in. All the pumpkin recipes circling the blogging world and covering Pinterest make my head spin…and make me very, very hungry. I’m not much of a bandwagon jumper, but this is definitely one of those times I am happy to follow the crowd – it’s a smart crowd. It’s time to break […]
Saturday Sweets: Lightning McQueen Car Cupcakes
Thanks so much for following along with muffin week!! To top it off we have an extra special kind of muffin – THE CUPCAKE. I love birthday cake and cupcakes, and it is one of the few scents and flavours I crave when pregnant, so I was thrilled to have an opportunity to make (and eat) some! […]
Peanut Butter Oreo Ice Cream Pie
Sometimes you come across a recipe you know is bound to become a stand-by for many years of parties to come. Enjoyed by kids and adults alike at a Labour Day barbecue, this “pie” is impressive to look at, and ridiculously easy to throw together. I imagine my kids will be asking for this for […]
Boterkoek AKA Butter Cake
I hate missing an instalment of Saturday Sweets. Sweets are near and dear to my heart, and I love that they have a day around here all to themselves! (Not that sweets never make other appearances :)) But alas, sometimes there are just not enough hours in a day, or even in 3 or […]
Raspberry Plats
Are you ready for another delicious, easy recipe to add to your repertoire? Oh good. This recipe actually comes from Anna’s mother in law, who was kind enough to share it fresh out of the oven with my husband and myself when we were visiting – oh, and we let Anna and Carl have a […]
Saturday Sweets: Honey Yogurt Cheesecake
Let me start off by saying that this was not my favourite dessert ever. Normally I’m all “oh-so-delicious”, “must-make”, “best thing ever”! and I totally mean all those things. So I want to be completely upfront so you know you can trust me all those other times – straight up, this was a dessert I […]
Apple Rhubarb Crisp (Gluten Free)
Saturday! It’s my first official Saturday of always-working-Saturdays along with my other days since I’ve decided to buckle down and see if I can’t get my 600 hours in to qualify for maternity leave again…3 months to go, so as long as I can work till mid-October I should be fine! Who says no to […]
Peach Raspberry Crisp
Since I’m sure you’re all totally tired of hearing about my lovely time on holidays, I thought I’d tell you about a delicious recipe you should all make instead :) My mom made this family favourite for us to enjoy this week and was kind enough to let me photograph it before (and after) we […]
Roasted Cherry Chocolate Brownies (or Cake)
Have you noticed cherries are all the rage lately? If not, here’s the facts: They kinda are. So are brightly coloured pants. I hope? Because I have some and I love ’em. And you all know being all the rage is what I’m allll about. *jokes* Cherries are one fruit that only seems to be affordably […]
BAKLAVA, baby
When I’m pregnant, I don’t grow leg hair. Apparently this is a sign of it being a boy on the way, and indeed, a boy is what I had last time around when I noticed this fantastic phenomenon, but I honestly can’t say if it was the case the first time around, when I had […]
