FALL! It’s officially here, in all it’s rainy, cooler, my-birthday-in-sight glory. There are so many recipes on this bloggity blog that I love SO MUCH, and sometimes I hate that they get a little lost in the archives and the attention all goes to the latest recipe. I want to share some of my absolute […]
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: Don’t trust the professionals
Have you ever looked at someone’s professional family photos and been just a teeny bit envious of their colour coordinated wardrobes, happy, well-behaved children, passionate marriage, and the field with both mountain and ocean views they are lucky enough to live by? Don’t trust the professional photos, my friends. They’re beautiful, they’re perfect for walls […]
Weekly Menu Plan
I am all about quick, easy dinners right now, preferably ones that can be prepped earlier in the day so the craziness of the dinner hour can be toned down a little so I can feed my baby or talk to Gemma about school in that time instead of standing by the stove. Today on […]
Bran Muffins
How boring am I today, here to expound the virtues of good ol’ bran muffins. Besides making these boring-in-a-good-way muffins, other tasks done this week included colour coordinating my closet – too much excitement, right? Although seriously, a colour-coordinated closet with only clothes I actually wear and everything else thrown out or donated and every hanger […]
How to Stock Your Freezer (and what to make)
Thank you all so much for your incredible support and encouragement after yesterday’s post. It’s amazing how, when you talk about something, you suddenly find so many other people who have struggled or are struggling with the very same thing, and it’s always good to know you’re not alone. This may be a silly little online […]
Monday Moments: Poor Baby
Sweet baby Gavin is 4 weeks old today, and last week was by far the worst week of his young life. Those sunglasses and that swaddle aren’t just for looks and the cozies, they’re to protect his baby eyes from laser damage and keep him still as he faced his first dentist’s chair. I wasn’t […]
PB & J Thumbprint Cookies
Who doesn’t love good ol’ pb & j sandwich?Oh wait, um, ME. But like most things, once you put it into cookie form just TRY to keep me away. Yup, you can’t. Juuuuust hand ’em over.These are an adaptation born of 4 jars of jam passed on to me by my mother-in-law after she had […]
Monday Moments: Birthday Boy
This weekend we celebrated our biggest boy turning 4! For his birthday, his only request was a tennis racket – for some reason he’s been hooked on the idea of tennis for awhile now, and I think it’s time to look into some lessons.We figured it was also time he gave up his tricycle for […]
One-Dish Oven-Baked Apple Crumble Pancake
When we were first married, I got up at 5:30 in the morning to get to work on time and was usually napping by 4 pm, while Carl rolled out of bed around 8:00 to head to classes at university, and then was busy till at least 11:00 at night, so we didn’t see a whole […]
Monday Moments: Stages
This week saw our sweet girl head off excitedly to her first week of Grade 1 – she was ok with getting a picture until her brothers came and cramped her style. The worst, amiright? And just when I thought we’d had enough to adjust to, this happened on a spur of the moment decision: And, much more […]
