Exciting news in these parts – aside from the slightly distressing fact that my little girl is no longer quite so little, she is starting to discover the joy of reading. She’s always been a good reader, but a reader who only read when required to, and only to an audience. Suddenly something has happened, […]
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.

French Toast Croissants
While I was teaching the other day, a student asked me what time it was. Caught off guard, I stared blankly at the clock. I’ve never been great with clocks, and having no watch and no cell phone means I generally don’t know what time it is, and am not too concerned about it. I […]
Three New Cookies
I haven’t posted many cookie recipes on here lately, and it’s because I was busy preparing some top-secret spectacular ones for this holiday issue that I now get to share with you all! I was honoured to be asked to come on board as a guest contributor for EatInEatOut magazine, an online magazine published by Lori, […]
Monday Moments: Lego Loathing
Am I the only person who considers the sound of rifling through Lego a complete assault on the senses? It is all I can do not to curl into an over-stimulated ball as the rest of the family searches, with what appears to be deaf enthusiasm, for every.single.small.piece. Gavster, I won’t be upset if you eat more than your […]
Monday Moments: Festive
So this happened last week. Gemma was home sick from school, so what better time to pull out the tree? Don’t let the tank top and shorts fool you, it is very much turning into winter. The kids are so into it, and Theo especially didn’t remember much from last year, so every new item he […]
Bacon Corn Chowder
A couple people have asked lately about how my cat allergies turned out and, never one to miss a good episode of The Poowwwwer of Positive Thinking, I must tell you. The first 2-3 weeks were spent sneezing so much I developed visible abs. Every time I touched the cat and then my face, whatever […]
Monday Moments: Very Helpful
This little stinker is trying to set a family record for slowest to walk. At 14 1/2 months, he is thrilled at all the hullabaloo that results from a simple solitary stand, but he doesn’t show the least bit of interest in walking alone. Granted, he has almost a month before he beats his big […]
Monday Moments: Birthday
It’s my birthday, and I feel confident that with the right sunglasses… and my cheeks sucked in just so… I don’t look a day over 30. Seriously though, I love birthdays. I love the idea of getting older and (hopefully) wiser. With age comes a recognition of what really matters, who really matters, and how […]
Apple Cinnamon Energy Bars
There have been times when I’ve said about a recipe, “You could totally eat this for breakfast!” when actually it’s probably not the most highly recommended. That is, while I might eat it for breakfast, I wouldn’t let my kids do the same. Today though? You can totally eat these for breakfast, and so can the kids. Those same kids-who-want-breakfast […]
Monday Moments: The Patch
Tis the season for apple orchards and pumpkin patches or, in our case, both at the same time. Our weather has been gorrrgeous, cool, crisp, sunny, downright warm by the afternoon. We took advantage of it with a visit to the pumpkin patch with friends, in what we’ve now declared, after two years, an annual […]
