This sweet little man, as much as I sometimes fear he’s a bit too attached to his mama (but then, who wouldn’t be ;)), is the world’s best little helper. At 3 years old, he’s reasonably proficient at everything from vacuuming to sorting and folding laundry to emptying the dishwasher. He spends his days asking if there’s anything […]
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.

Mom’s Recipes: Strawberry Galette
Carl and Gemma are road-tripping to Saskatoon this weekend and it’s weiiiird having my little girl so far away! But the boys and I are making the best of it by remembering how great it is not to be driving for 16 hours, and by enjoying super easy meals, movies for hot afternoons, and naps […]
Teriyaki Chicken Spring Rolls
We eat a lot of pasta, fajitas, pizza, and meat and potato meals around here. Sometimes it’s good to change things up a little, and these little spring rolls were a major hit in the change-it-up department. This filling is fantastic in regular spring roll wrappers, in wonton cups, or wrapped in lettuce leaves. I […]
Waiting for Words
Lately I’m running out of words. It took me a bit to realize why I felt strange, why I just couldn’t shake an uncomfortable sense of not feeling quite like myself. Getting through the day, doing the day to day things that need to be done – these things all still happen, and don’t seem particularly draining. […]
Homemade Caramel Corn
It’s funny how you can be married to someone for quite awhile and not really know them. Carl and I have had a couple informative conversations lately. You’d think my lack of athleticism or our significant height differential would throw him off more, but no, it’s really just my taste in food. Me: I just love […]
Mom’s Recipes: Almond Ginger Granola
Happy day-after Canada Day! Anyone do anything exciting? My Mom is on a successful-new-recipe tear, and I’m thrilled to have some variety to add to the blog with another post from her today (not to mention several in the wings)! My family devours plain granola, and this fancied-up version sounds perfect for a special occasion […]
Monday Moments: The End of an Era
Aaand that’s that! One excited Kindergarten graduate sad to be leaving school for the summer and already looking forward to Grade 1. Coral certainly seemed to be the colour du jour…maybe they called each other that morning :)
Double Chocolate Skillet Cookie
Skillet cookies have more than one use around here. Not only do they satisfy any major sweet craving handily, they are also cooked in my cast iron skillet, which apparently can help with iron intake. Dark chocolate also happens to be high in iron, so this extra-chocolately jumbo cookie is really a health investment. My […]
Mom’s Recipes: Rhubarb Tart
Fresh rhubarb doesn’t last nearly long enough, so let’s make the best of it while it’s here! While my rhubarb plant is busy recovering from being a re-located weed, and I can sense rhubarb blitzes in my future, it’s a couple weeks away for me. Thankfully, Mom is here with another fabulous rhubarb recipe for a […]
Lemon Raspberry Buttermilk Scones
Tis the season of some of the most gorgeous berries around! These scones can be made year-round with frozen berries, but you’ll want some fresh raspberry chia jam to spread on them and today is the perfect day to take 5 minutes to make that. I’m off to do just that with my sister, and try […]
