About Anna

I believe in God, the power of optimism, and the ability of food to bring people together. I love to share everyday homemade food with family and friends (and the internetz)! I love cheese, proper grammar, an organized house, dark chocolate, my husband, and my 5 sweet kids.

1-Hour (or less!) Homemade Hamburger Buns

1-Hour (or less!) Homemade Hamburger Buns

Actually, 1-hour hamburger buns is misleading. In fact, from start to finish you can have homemade hamburger buns in LESS than one hour. I wanted you to give yourself extra time the first time so you aren’t mad if I’m wrong…but you are going to be seriously in love with these buns if, like me, […]

Monday Moments: Four is still little…

Monday Moments: Four is still little…

My baby turned 4 last week, and suddenly the word “baby” doesn’t seem to apply anymore. I mean, he still wants all the snuggles and gets jealous if one of his siblings is sitting too close to me, but he sleeps all night, doesn’t nap every day anymore, and very rarely needs to be carried […]

Monday Moments: Catching Up

You know those old friends who you can go ages without seeing and then just pick up right where you left off? This blog is like that for me. I was talking to a friend the other day about how I wished I blogged more regularly, but I just felt too behind, especially on the […]

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

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 […]

Double Chocolate Zucchini Cake

Double Chocolate Zucchini Cake

My computer was revived long enough to get the necessary photos, hurrah! What is a recipe without a little convincing proof that I actually made the cake? We need to try at least one new zucchini recipe every year, and it’s even better if that recipe is a huge success. This one uses 3 cups […]

Butterscotch Rice Krispie Bars

Butterscotch Rice Krispie Bars

I had the best intentions of sharing a super moist and fudgy chocolate zucchini cake with you this weekend, but alas, my computer containing the pictures is quite dead. It needs a serious dismantling to adjust the parts so it can power up and I can get all the pictures safely off, and I think […]

Lemon Cheesecake with Strawberry Swirl

Lemon Cheesecake with Strawberry Swirl

We had a work barbecue recently and I was quick to snap up dessert responsibilities. Dessert is one of my favourite things to make, but I like to make it for a crowd so I can eat one serving and share the rest, and we don’t get into the pattern of eating all the dessert […]

Monday Moments: Ocean Views

There’s nothing that quite says relaxation like sitting by the ocean, even if these days that means I’m getting sand in unmentionable places, fulfilling constant requests for food, building sand cities, and marveling at each new dead crab that washes up nearby. It’s the best place to be. I was given strict instructions not to […]

Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

I wasn’t a very helpful baker when I lived at home. That’s probably putting it mildly – I chose cleaning the bathrooms over baking every week, and actually, I’d still probably rather clean than cook or bake. But hey, lucky me, now I’m an adult I get to do both. Thankfully, my kids are getting […]

Lemon Bundt Cake

Lemon Bundt Cake

Some desserts are just so pretty I wish I could keep them on the counter for a few days as decor. Bundt cakes generally fall into this category, and this lemon bundt cake with its bright lemon glaze is no exception. Isn’t it a cake that just looks like spring? I know it’s officially summer […]
