I’ve been a little lax in the posting department lately since things have been busy around here! My whole family is around since a new baby joined the family and my parents are here from Ontario and also celebrating 30 years of marriage, so we’re enjoying copious amounts of far-too-rare family time! Naturally, this means […]
Chewy Homemade Granola Bars
Granola bars that aren’t really all that healthy are one of my favourite things. In highschool I ate so many chocolate-covered granola bars that I started having a Pavlovian-type response to the end-of-day bell; it rang, I craved a chocolate granola bar. There is something so wonderfully sneaky about those chocolate-covered granola bars: because you […]
Rosemary Garlic Roasted Beets
I’ve been meaning to try roasted beets for aaaages, but Carl was dragging his feet as he sometimes does in the new-veggie department so I put it off and tried to convince him to put them in his smoothies instead, which also ended unsuccessfully. I wasn’t willing to give up, though, because they are a […]
Flourless Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
Well, I told you I would make some more cookies, and I never tell a lie. I was momentarily diverted from cookies while we made our first beach trip of the season this week! K-fer got his first mouthful of gravelly sand, and badly wanted to go back for more…I’m still not sure I’m […]
Iced Mint Green Tea
With summer heat comes a craving for summer drinks, and for me the ultimate (non-alcoholic :)) summer drink has to be iced tea. If I’m going to have something besides water, I generally won’t head to fruit juice since I’d much rather just have fresh fruit, especially while it’s in season. But there’s something about […]
Frozen Raspberry Cheesecake
This is one of my favourite recipes for a fresh, light dessert after a heavy dinner of something like burgers or steak. It’s so easy and can be made WAAAAAAY ahead so you don’t have to do any dessert prep on the actual day of your gathering! It’s also a handy one to have on […]
Lemon Raspberry Pie
By special request (Hi Jen!), it’s my ever-popular, creamy, sweet, tart no-longer-secret recipe for Lemon Raspberry Pie. Of course, when I wanted to take a picture of it that happened to be the time I forgot about it and the edges got a little brown…do as I say, not as I do, as they say. This […]
Teriyaki Beef on Lettuce & Quinoa
I love when I find recipes that are a little different from my usual and still delicious, and this definitely qualifies! My sister and I have been exchanging meal plans for just over a year now and it has definitely resulted in a huge stack of new “regulars” in my cooking schedule. One day when […]
Twice Faked Potatoes
I always have trouble with twice-baked potatoes. Usually I am too impatient on the first bake, or decide too late in the day that I want to make them for supper, so I try to scoop potatoes out of shells that are either too hot to handle or not quite baked enough and still determined […]
