Mom’s Hawaiian BBQ Meatballs
Since my mom is here all week (YAY!) I thought it only fitting that I share another of her famous recipes – it’s been too long since a Mom guest post! I think these meatballs are part of the reason Carl married me, thinking they would be a regular staple in his diet if he […]
Nine Ways to Use Zucchini
Our zucchini plant has started flowering with abandon, and, while it’s only produced 3 good size zucchinis so far, I feel like this is the beginning of an abundance. Growing up, my dad never had the heart to thin out his zucchini plants when they all seemed to be flourishing, so we always ended up […]
Saturday Sweets: Lemon Raspberry Edition
My little sister Emily is getting married today! She is going to be QUITE the stunner in her gorgeous dress, and we’re all excited to witness the youngest of 5 sisters say “I do” to her handsome man. In Emily’s honour, I’m doing a round-up of desserts in her favourite flavour combination – lemon and […]
Apple Pie Muffins
Well, you all know how I feel about muffins. And how much stronger those feelings are when there’s a streusel topping involved. Mom hit the nail on the head here. I definitely ate a lot of these growing up, and just look how I turned out! ;) Thanks for another great post, Mom! **************************************************** It […]
Bacon & Gouda Twice-Baked (or Slow Cooker) Potatoes
I consider myself a fairly confident person. I make decisions with minimal thought, and I don’t care a whole lot what other people think of those decisions as long as I’m comfortable with them. I wear whatever I like, I eat what I feel like, and I go out without doing my hair. But let […]
Best Ever Banana Muffins
It’s been too long since I posted a muffin recipe! I have been on a muffin making BINGE, and, having made every single muffin recipe known to man (ie. every muffin recipe on this blog), I then realized my mom had included a recipe in our family cookbook entitled “Best Ever Banana Muffins” which I […]
Easter Round-Up
If you’re anything like me, holidays have a way of sneaking up on you. St. Patrick’s Day? Yeah, I totally missed that green boat. I am not the blog to follow if you want holiday ideas weeks in advance, or are wondering what National Food Day you should be celebrating. I make it, I take […]
Saturday Sweets: Chocolate Cranberry Bliss Cookies
It wasn’t too long ago I made some Cranberry Bliss Cookies that I dubbed my favourite cookies so far this year. My parents were here this week so I wanted to make them again, but, finding myself with no white chocolate, I thought I was going to have to change my plans. Enter my 4-year-old helper: […]
Teriyaki Chicken Stirfry {with Homemade Teriyaki Sauce}
Homemade teriyaki sauce isn’t something I ever really thought I’d be making, or recommending other people make. There are plenty of flavourful bottles of teriyaki sauce available at your local supermarket, I feel quite sure. But one day when I planned on teriyaki sauce in my dinner and found myself out, my mom pointed me […]
