Perfect Turkey Chili

Perfect Turkey Chili

If words of affirmation are your love language, and you have a chili fan in your life, this chili will make both of your days. I’m not a huge chili fan, but I’m married to one, so from time to time I throw together the basics – beans, meat, tomatoes, spices, etc. – and he […]

How to make perfect ribs in the oven

How to make perfect ribs in the oven

Perfect ribs have eluded me for many years. So I’m pretty excited to have finally mastered consistent, tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs. I made these multiple times last year, but when I wanted to make them for our anniversary last week I had to rack my brain (no pun intended) for how I had done it. Apparently […]

Buttery French Toast Bake

January 29, 2019 by Anna 1 Comment

Buttery French Toast Bake

I have been eyeing French toast bakes for years. I don’t love French toast, but I do very much love French toast croissants, and I do also very much love things that can be made ahead and serve lots of people. The idea of soggy bread makes my sensory issues cringe, but the idea of […]

Creamy Garlic Chicken with Bacon Alfredo

Say what?! I went and took a picture of a dinner recipe, which means you know you need to make it. If you like pasta, that is. I hosted a bake exchange last night that resulted in 12 kinds of amazingness in my freezer that I’m trying not to think about so it will last longer than […]

Mom’s Recipes: Slow Cooker Tomato Sauce

Mom’s Recipes: Slow Cooker Tomato Sauce

I always forget about the existence of slow cookers in the summer, since comfort food at this time of year comes more in the form of barbecue and no-bake, but this recipe makes pulling it out an absolute must!  If you think making your own tomato sauce is too time consuming, you need this recipe […]

Zucchini Muffins

Zucchini Muffins

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 […]

Lemon Rhubarb Coffee Cake

Lemon Rhubarb Coffee Cake

Yeeeee-awn.  I’ve been trying to get up extra early every day for some quiet devotion and alone time, and, while the sun makes it easier, it still isn’t easy for someone who loves their bed as much as I do.  I don’t drink coffee, so coffee cake is like my coffee – a morning pick-me-up accompanied perfectly […]

Chocolate Cranberry Sweet Rolls with Orange Glaze

Chocolate Cranberry Sweet Rolls with Orange Glaze

Well, I now have something besides a baby on which to blame my ever-and-rapidly-expanding girth. Sweet roll baking has completely taken over bread baking in my life and kitchen, and I’m not even sorry. Leftover cranberry sauce has to be one of my favourite leftovers, and these sweet rolls are proof of why.  Just thinking […]

Homemade Naan Bread

It’s officially April 1st, which means as you read this we are likely en route back to home-sweet-home, done our lovely 3 month sojourn at my parents’ home in Ontario and gearing up for a month of single parenting until Carl wraps up his semester at the end of the month.  I honestly can’t believe […]
