Happy Saturday, fellow sweet lovers! Sweet lovers. That’s us. Hell-ooooo, sweet lovers. Sorry, this was an awkward moment, so let’s move on to my lovely Aunt Shirley’s recipe. These are a crisp-crackly meringue in perfect gluten free cookie form, chock full of milk chocolate and pecans, totally different from my cookie norm, and a family […]
Perfect Homemade Play Dough
Tonight I’m attending my 10-year grad reunion. It kinda makes me feel like I’m getting old, but also kinda makes me feel SO YOUNG to be well on my way to baby #3, to have moved 5 times with my husband (and high school sweetheart), to be a perpetual student in various fields, to be […]
Homemade Peppermint Patties
So, I’m going to be honest. This post makes me nervous. Not because of the recipe (pure deliciousness), but because the First on the First challenge this month was to make candy of any type. Anna assured me that these are, indeed candy, since they are enrobed in something (in this case, delicious chocolate), so […]
Homemade Fruit Leather
You guys, I am in a funk. You know one of those funks when you could nap all day and just want that leftover 7-layer dip in the fridge for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? When dinnertime rolls around and you look blankly at the hungry little faces nearby and go grab them a bowl of […]
Broccoli Salad
I tried Cheerios for the first time last night. Um, how did they become so popular? I buy them for an easy portable snack for my kids, but had never actually tried them with milk. I’m one of those who just splashes milk near my cereal bowl, since I’m technically sensitive to it and don’t […]
Guest Post: Homemade Sponge Toffee
First of all, thank you so much to Jennifer over at Peanut Butter and Peppers for nominating me for the Versatile Blogger award! I’ve been putting off mentioning it for aaages because it comes with the stipulation of passing it on to 15 other deserving bloggers, but I’ve decided I just can’t narrow it down […]
Grilled Summer Vegetable Platter
When summer hits and the smell of grills fills the neighbourhood, I am thankful I no longer live in an apartment with regulations that meant my barbecue sat dormant on the balcony for the whole two years we lived there. Summer is made for grilling, and these veggies are one of my favourite things about […]
Cauliflower Sweet Potato Soup
When I’m pregnant … (OH yeah, get used to that sentence, I’m kind of a different person when I’m pregnant, and I feel the need to explain myself so you don’t think I’ve been holding out on you with my true personality or some other such drama)… Anyway, when I’m pregnant, I crave healthy food with […]
Saturday Sweets: Gluten Free Molten Lava Cakes
What if I told you that I have found a delicious cake recipe, that is gluten free, dairy free, and sugar free? Crazy, right? You’re probably thinking what I did. How can anything that is gluten free, dairy free and sugar free taste even close to delicious. C’est impossible. Madness. Wiggety Whack. Well, all you […]
Spicy Quinoa Chili & Cornbread
Before we talk about how great quinoa is in chili (spoiler alert – it’s great), let’s talk about silly things kids do. Today, we had our first real “crayon meets wall” incident. To be more precise, crayons meets WALLS. Like, every wall. In every room. Every. Single. Room. Pink crayon in a continuous trail across […]
