On a cold, gray, rainy or snowy day, nothing beats a good bowl of soup. If you’re feeling sniffly, achy, and generally unwell, nothing beats a good bowl of soup. When you are a poor student/waitress at the Old Spaghetti Factory and get unlimited free soup, nothing beats a good bowl of soup. There is […]
White Cheese and Chicken Lasagna
You know when you have one of those moments where you are praying that a) no one is watching, and b) a store has no security cameras? No, no, I didn’t steal anything, and I think my mistake can really be made by anyone. At least, that’s what I’ll tell myself. I love automatic doors. They are […]
Mrs. Dykstra’s Amazing Brownies
Happy new year everyone!! I have been seriously slacking on my blogging duties for the last couple weeks, as I holidayed to the max with family and friends over Christmas and New Years, but now I am so excited to be back at it! Anna and I also had a great chance to catch up […]

Chocolate Pomegranate Oatmeal Cookies
Are you all as bake exchange-crazy as me? I’ve controlled myself this year and am only involved in 3 different baking exchanges, one of which is the super fun Food Blogger Cookie Swap, which meant some delicious Andes Mint Chocolate Cookies arrived in the mail from Kristy the other day with a lovely note! […]
Lemon White Chocolate Sugar Cookies
I have one more pumpkin recipe I’m dying to tell you all about, but before you roll over and groan at the thought of MORE! PUMPKIN!, I’ll save it for another day. But be warned, it’s coming. After all, I’ve yet to find a good spot for a Smashing Pumpkins joke, and it’s dying to […]
Pumpkin Toffee Cheesecake
For us Canadians, Thanksgiving has come and gone and some of us are already in full Christmas mode. I may or may not be done my Christmas shopping already…it helps that I had all of one lovely lady on my list since we’re paring down this year, but I’m feeling accomplished nonetheless! I’m even more […]
Thai Chicken Pizza
I can’t tell you how excited I am today. Why, you ask? Well, because I am sharing a delicious recipe with you, and more importantly, we are taking an extended weekend to visit family! Hooray! It has been over a month for all of them… and even longer for my lovely sister and co-blogger Anna […]
Garden Vegetable Muffins
I don’t suppose I can say I’m known for my healthy recipes. Really though, we believe in everything in moderation, which means all the sweets and treats you see here are eaten in small quantities and shared liberally. And they are balanced with (mostly) healthy meals and fillers. But these muffins are an extra step […]
