As I’m about to tell you about the value of making your own sauces from scratch, I feel it’s only fair to also tell you I bought a not-insignificant-sized jar of Cheez Whiz last week. So please, don’t take me too seriously. I mostly make my own sauces because I don’t remember to buy them, […]
Oven-Roasted Cauliflower “Steaks”
You guys, I’ve been watching “Call the Midwife” on Netflix and learned I am most definitely not cut out to be a nurse. Any woman shows the first sign of being in labour and I am a weepy, sympathetic mess. Post-traumatic stress syndrome for moms is real, I’m sure of it. Then there are the other […]
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 […]
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 […]
Roasted Vegetable Medley with Bacon
Does anyone else find themselves already craving the veggies we know we’re all gonna be putting on our meal plans come New Years resolution time? I love my sweets as much as the next gal (ok, probably considerably more) but the balance gets a little off at this time of year. I’ve eaten Nanaimo bars for breakfast, […]
Marshmallow Pops
Remember that amazing surprise party we talked about on Monday? Well, I was happy to be left with the extra toppings from the apple fondue bar and couldn’t wait to put them to good use!For Theo’s birthday, since Carl was gone and vanilla cupcakes are my weakness, I decided to forego the cake and let […]
Peach Berry Smoothies {SunRype 900 mL Juice Giveaway!}
Make sure you get all the way to the bottom to enter the giveaway for a whole buncha delicious juice! There are few things that get my kids as excited as a good smoothie. On the rare occasion we go through a drive-thru, no one asks for fries or ice cream, they’re always wondering if the […]
Mom’s Recipes: Tomato and Feta Baked Eggs
It’s been almost a year since I was getting ready to move in with my parents for a few months. Despite missing Carl and being pretty nauseously newly pregnant, those were really good months, and the kids still regularly ask when we can go visit for “12 years” (12 weeks) again. Recipes like this are […]
Frozen Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake
I think memory foam has gone too far. When it first came out to top beds, I thought it seemed like a reasonably good idea for people who always sleep in the same position. When I saw it in pillows, I understood the value of a well-supported neck, and a pillow that knew where that […]
Chewy Monster Cookie Bars
Well, I think we’re officially ready for baby to make its appearance as finally, wonder of wonders, last night we settled on baby names we agree on. It’s nowhere near what I thought we’d choose for a boy, I’m not entirely convinced it goes with our current names, but with only 9 days till due […]
