Whew! It’s been too long since I sat down with you, my fellow hungry people and cheerful internet friends. I need a break from the upset, angry, rude, confusing, silly, and sometimes downright hateful comments filling too many abortion “discussion” feeds. Sometimes it’s not even worth engaging, is it? Sometimes you just a cup of […]
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.

Monday Moments: Thanksgiving
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving, friends! Our weekend plans were somewhat dampened by high fevers all around, but we are nonetheless cooking up a feast today and giving extra thanks for the overflowing blessings we receive day by day. In the changing seasons and rising and setting of the sun each day, we continue to see God’s faithfulness and […]
Reese’s Stuffed Cinnamon Sugar Muffins
Is it possible for your own baby to give you baby fever? Well, I guess that’s a rhetorical question, because the answer is yes, yes it is. My littlest has always been amazing, but he has lately gotten even better as he’s turned into a snuggler. I think the over-the-top positive reinforcement when it happened […]
Monday Moments: Kitten
Well, we got a new little addition over here. I don’t know why this seemed like a good idea, or how I forgot about clawed furniture, litter boxes, and late night foot-and-face tackles, or that I developed a lousy allergy to our last cat prior to his death by a motor vehicular accident. I’ve been sneezing […]
Ginger Pear Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
Was there ever a cupcake to better beckon fall? My amazing mom is here today with these cozy treats, first made by my sister, replicated and documented by Mom, soon to be replicated by yours truly when I buy my first ever pear :) Feast your eyes! From Mom… September marks the beginning of the year, […]
Monday Moments: Birthday Boys
My generous and talented sister (Unexpected Moments Photography, I cannot recommend her highly enough) has once again rocked my socks by taking pictures to commemorate the passing years and perfectly capturing the little people I love so very much. She also caters to my latest decorating whims (I’m into navy right now) to ensure my […]

Monday Moments: Science World
The day before school whisked away the free days of summer, we squeezed in a family visit to Science World. I don’t think I’ve been since I was a kid, and it was a huge hit, especially the dinosaur exhibit. We tried for a group photo, but the looming dinosaur was too threatening a distraction […]
Red Pepper Jelly, Version 2
Sometimes you think you have it all figured out. You have a tried-and-true recipe you make time and time again, and it always works, so why try something new? Well, when a friend with ulterior motives offers to bring red pepper jelly to the bus stop for you, you don’t say no. And when that […]
Monday Moments: Too Much
It was a busy few days for this one. First day of Kindergarten AND a birthday. Everything about the birthday was his absolute favourite. It was heavy on the dinosaurs, which I’m not entirely convinced I believe ever existed, but which I now know an astonishing amount about. If you follow me on Instagram, you saw […]
