It’s time for another instalment in the Canadian Food Experience Project! We’ve talked about regional foods before, but every region has more than one food it can call it’s own. While I wrote about raspberries last time, coming from British Columbia I couldn’t help but feature berries again. British Columbia is home to so much […]
Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal
Guys, I feel like you’ve been holding out on me. Why has no one been shoving baked oatmeal recipes into my hands, insisting I add it to my breakfast routine regardless of childhood oatmeal trauma? Baked oatmeal is the bomb, and that’s not something I say, like….ever. I love the endless possible flavour variations once […]
Dark Chocolate Pomegranate Bark
If you’ve never de-seeded a pomegranate, you need to take the plunge. If these Pomegranate Oatmeal Cookies didn’t convince you, and these Oatmeal Pomegranate Muffins also failed to send you squealing to the grocery store, this chocolate bark has to be the deciding recipe. Yes, pomegranates are a bit of a pain in the you-know-what to de-seed, […]
Easy Homemade Applesauce
You guuuuuuyzzz. This is too easy for words. This calls for poetry. An Ode to Easy Homemade Applesauce, by Anna Nienhuis, lover of warm cinnamon-y applesauce. No canning, no caution, no waiting.

Perfect Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Recipe
I think we’re finally caked out around here. I didn’t think it was possible, but after 6 days straight of various cupcakes, my sweet tooth is maxed out. Please pass the chips and dip. Before this sugar coma hit though, we had some reallllly good cakes. And frosting. Please don’t forget about the frosting. I […]
Mom’s Classic Pea Soup with Ham
Since I’m currently up to my eyeballs in sick children, homework, housework, and fall-welcoming interpretive dances, my lovely Mom is here again with one of the classics – pea soup! This stuff is thick, green, fragrant, and absolutely soul warming. I happen to have a ham bone in the freezer to be made into exactly […]
Baked Parmesan Wedge Fries
Guys, my baby is broken. He was such a good sleeper, and so was I. Those were the days, my friends, and they’re becoming hazier and hazier in the distant past. I think he sensed I’m staying up later and getting up earlier in order to get everything done and so he thinks we […]
Saturday Sweets: Orange Carrot Popsicles {Cookbook Review}
Theo has reached that lovely stage where it is virtually impossible to get anything done while he’s awake and on the prowl, and he is in this wakeful, prowling state for the vast majority of the day. Yes, son, you can pull yourself to a standing position. That does not mean you SHOULD do so […]
First on the First: Pickled Roasted Red Peppers {Cookbook Review}
The challenge for this month’s First on the First event was pickles. But…I don’t like pickles. I don’t think I’ve ever had or seen or smelled pickled anything that appealed to me. Having said that, I’m pretty sure that puts me in the minority. So I’m thrilled to participate in a round-about kind of way […]
Canadian Preserving Traditions: Red Pepper Jelly Recipe
I have been wanting to make homemade red pepper jelly for an extraordinarily long time. One thing my younger sister says she likes about me is that if I say I’m going to do something I go ahead and do it, usually asap. I am all talk and all action, a deadly combination ;) One […]
