Herb & Garlic Cheese Scones

February 6, 2013 by Anna 14 Comments

Herb & Garlic Cheese Scones

I’m talking about scones again. Sweet scones, savoury scones, plain scones – I love ’em all.  So I talk about them. I hope someone out there cares about scones as much as I do (besides you, Mom, I know you understand :)) I went on a major scone kick awhile back and I’ve been waiting […]

A Cherished Canadian Food Recipe: Best Ever Nanaimo Bars

A Cherished Canadian Food Recipe: Best Ever Nanaimo Bars

I don’t make the “best ever” claim often, but as something of a Nanaimo bar fanatic, I have tried, and will continue to try, many a Nanaimo bar in many a place, and, call me biased, but I like mine the best. Ever. Ok, not MINE, per se, since actually my Mom developed this recipe to […]

Mom’s Classic Lasagna

November 28, 2012 by Anna 7 Comments

Mom’s Classic Lasagna

Fall and winter are all about comfort food. And what’s more comforting than your favourite recipes from growing up?  This lasagna is probably the food I remember eating most often growing up, and one of the only things I knew how to make when I moved out: meat, noodles, cheese, noodles, meat.  I will never […]

Best Ever Carrot Cake

November 17, 2012 by Anna 6 Comments

Best Ever Carrot Cake

You know those foods that just taste like home?  Living at home, (and being a gigantic fan of cream cheese icing, and eating my vegetables in cake) this cake was definitely one of my favourites growing up. Needless to say, when I came across this recipe after not eating it for at least 6 years, […]

First on the First: Dark Chocolate Soufflés

First on the First: Dark Chocolate Soufflés

Confession: it’s First on the First time, when we try something new and scary in the kitchen, or something we’ve been putting off, or something we’ve just never done homemade, but this month’s challenge isn’t a first for me. Souffles are definitely the stuff of legend in my mind, but I’ve made these about half […]

Perfect Apple Crisp

Perfect Apple Crisp

Can we all agree that apple crisp is the bomb? I could eat apple crisp every. single. day. And this week I did.  It was wonderful. You know what else I did? Graham crumbs in the topping. I told you, I’m obsessed. This is going down in history as the best apple crisp ever made, […]

Fruit & Granola Wraps

Fruit & Granola Wraps

I have a new favourite breakfast. And a new favourite lunch. And I’m sharing them both with you on the same day, can you believe it? AND I’m sharing them conveniently close to sharing homemade granola with you, which can be put to good use in this “recipe” of sorts…although I admit I used a […]

Basic Homemade Granola

September 21, 2012 by Anna 17 Comments

Basic Homemade Granola

I used to be a honey-hater. Turns out I was buying the wrong honey, and getting the wrong impression from those horrid yellow and black fuzzy jackets.  Don’t judge a book by it’s fashion, I suppose.  Something like that. When you’re incubating a small one and want it to come out with all the appropriate […]

Peanut Butter Oreo Ice Cream Pie

September 8, 2012 by Anna 27 Comments

Peanut Butter Oreo Ice Cream Pie

Sometimes you come across a recipe you know is bound to become a stand-by for many years of parties to come.  Enjoyed by kids and adults alike at a Labour Day barbecue, this “pie” is impressive to look at, and ridiculously easy to throw together.  I imagine my kids will be asking for this for […]
