You can find zucchini in just about everything right now, from cookies and cakes to lasagnas and salads. While I applaud the use of zucchini in just about everything, the most important recipes are still the classics. I don’t care how good a spiralized pickled dehydrated quinoa zucchini salad you can make and call it […]
Mom’s Recipes: Almond Ginger Granola
Happy day-after Canada Day! Anyone do anything exciting? My Mom is on a successful-new-recipe tear, and I’m thrilled to have some variety to add to the blog with another post from her today (not to mention several in the wings)! My family devours plain granola, and this fancied-up version sounds perfect for a special occasion […]
Lemon Raspberry Buttermilk Scones
Tis the season of some of the most gorgeous berries around! These scones can be made year-round with frozen berries, but you’ll want some fresh raspberry chia jam to spread on them and today is the perfect day to take 5 minutes to make that. I’m off to do just that with my sister, and try […]
Raspberry Chia Bran Muffins
You just never know what random things will have a major impact on your life, something you never saw coming, something that makes each and every day a little better. My sister swears by bra fittings and eyebrow threading: I add to the list good socks. Good socks, my friends, are something I never had until […]
Perfect Rhubarb Muffins
Let’s talk about classics that never go out of style. A good pair of jeans. One well-cut blazer. A pair of diamond studs. Nude peep-toe pumps. A pencil skirt. Some things are just classics, things every girl would use over and over and over again if she invested in them (and didn’t change size too […]
Apple Crumble Quick Bread
Before we talk about apple cinnamon loaves and perfect streusel topping, I need to know: is anyone else the proud owner of an independent, opinionated 5-year-old girl? I love my sweet daughter dearly, and for the most part she’s extremely easy-going, friendly, open and reasonable. But man, when she gets something into her head there […]
Saturday Sweets: Super Soft Banana Bread
Saturday in Ottawa. It’s funny how we only lived here for two years, a few years ago, yet I feel I know my way around better here than I do at home in the Fraser Valley, where I’ve lived for a full 20 years. I have no idea why that is, but, for someone who’s […]
Lemon Poppyseed Scones
I always forget how short February is, and am pleasantly surprised when March sneaks up on us in no time. I think February may actually be my favourite month. The beginning of the month has stores full of pink, red, hearts, teddy bears, and sprinkles, which makes for the best grocery shopping days ever. When […]
Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Scones
It’s been too long since we talked breakfast recipes! Not that long, you say? A week is long when we don’t talk breakfast, my friends. Breakfast isn’t called the fuel of champions for nothing. Actually, I made that up, it’s not even called that. But champions do eat breakfast, and that’s a fact. Some champions […]
Pumpkin Almond Granola
Remember in November when you wanted to gag at the sight of yet another pumpkin recipe? Yeah, me too. I got into pumpkin late this year because I was just so sick of all the pumpkin featured in every possible baked or cooked good. I made my tried and true pumpkin recipes but revolted on […]
