Bleak midwinter days call for cheerful tea towels and citrusy fresh-baked muffins. These are super basic little muffins, quick to whip up and guaranteed to make your house smell delicious. Cardamom isn’t the most common spice out there – it’s crucial to chai tea, which I love, but otherwise I don’t use it super often. […]
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
Pumpkin muffin recipes may be a-dime-a-dozen on the internet, but still I submit mine, because I love it. I’ve made many pumpkin muffin recipes, and actually shared several here, and I still stand by them as delicious – pumpkin has a hard time failing in that department. But, it has come to pass that this […]
Cinnamon Muffins
A couple weeks ago, I played basketball in a friendly moms vs. daughters game (moms won ;)), and the next day I was feeeeeeling it in a few aging muscles! Playing basketball on our little backyard pad is one thing, running up and down a court with multiple other slightly aggressive people in your space […]
Mini Cinnamon Muffins
High school cooking class may not have prepared me for daily life in any meaningful way, but we certainly had a good time. There was nothing better than eating your work – so much more visually rewarding than finishing an essay, and so much better smelling than solving a math problem! The one recipe that […]
Lemon Chia Seed Waffles
I finally did it. Carl bought me a waffle maker several years ago, and, until now, he was the only person who made waffles on it. It does come out for me to make doughnut waffles, obviously, but this is my first legitimate non-doughnut waffle! And it is delicious. Lemon is a favourite flavour in […]
Double Chocolate Banana Bread
So I’ll probably never make regular banana bread again. Adding cocoa to things doesn’t make them less healthy, but it sure makes them look unhealthy, doesn’t it? Dark chocolate is very hard to photograph, especially when the product keeps getting eaten down to the last piece before you remember to take a picture. Clearly I’m not the […]
Carrot Muffins
Carl was gone for a week earlier this month, and one of my kids said to me, “This will be really hard for you, because now you’ll have to get up on time instead of always sleeping in.” Wait, what?! True, I don’t get up at 5:45 like my middle child, but I am definitely […]
Gingerbread Pancakes
Gingerbread, minus the problem that is nutmeg, is my pumpkin spice. There is no cozier flavour or homier smell; fall and winter are just made for gingerbread. I have a recipe for chewy gingersnaps I make all year, and my kids would choose them over chocolate chip cookies any day. I also have a recipe […]
Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes
So yes, it’s almost Christmas, and I love all things Christmas and all things Christmas baking, but I have nothing new and Christmassy to share with you today because this year I’m sticking to all the recipes I’ve already posted because they work, they’re nostalgic, and they’re amazing :) Instead, the experimenting is happening at breakfast time. We […]
Ricardo’s Chocolate Crepes
A recent girls’ weekend in Whistler, BC saw us searching the streets in the torrential rain at 11:00 am, having just checked out of our hotel, determined to find delicious crepes before embarking on a day of shopping. I had promised amazingness at a place Carl and I had enjoyed in the past, but alas, […]
