With only 9 weeks left before baby #4, I am becoming increasingly unwieldy and unfun, but on Saturday we were able to enjoy Vancouver’s gorgeous Stanley Park with Carl’s sister and her family, and the weather couldn’t have been better. I know it can’t last, but these breezy, cooler days are making summer so far riiiiight up […]
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.

Basque Chicken Drumsticks
Today I’m responsible for feeding 200 people. Monday I shopped like it wasn’t my money, Tuesday I prepped like I was actually going to benefit from it, and today all that food disappears into (hopefully) smiling faces. I won’t know because I have to leave as soon as it’s set up to write an exam on the cheery subject […]
Monday Moments: Sports Day
The school year is quickly coming to a close, and part of the end-of-year slacking fun is Sports Day. The weather couldn’t have been better, and Gemma was so excited, after counting down the days for weeks until the big event. She takes after her mom – not overly committed and easily distracted from whatever […]
Father’s Day Thankfulness
Somehow Father’s Day always sneaks up on us, right in the middle of things starting to get into summer busyness. We don’t really do anything particular to celebrate Mother’s or Father’s Day (let’s not talk about made-up holidays :)) but I love the reminder to be appreciative of all I have in my dad, my […]
Mom’s Recipes: Rhubarb Almond Crumble Bars
I’ve made no secret of my undying love for rhubarb, and I come by it honestly – my mom’s here today with a guest post and a fabulous recipe for rhubarb bars! She’s editing my papers and backing me up with guest posts when I seem to have slightly over-stretched myself…and her rhubarb bars won’t […]
Monday Moments
It’s pretty handy having another reader in the house! While she still loves to be read to and isn’t taking over bedtime stories anytime soon, her brothers love listening to extra stories, and I love seeing her get excited about this new ability. Theo finds Pinkalicious totally relaxing, while Kristopher is a bit more stand-offish. He’s […]
The Canadian Food Experience Project: Culinary Identity
Today marks 1 year since the Canadian Food Experience Project launched, which began with the goal for us as participants to share our collective food experiences and recipes, with the hope of bringing clarity to a Canadian culinary identity. This month marks the end of this journey, and the 8 posts I contributed are below – does this food feel Canadian […]
Chocolate Caramel Apple Dip
So, talk to me about bike shorts. My hubby is a road biking fan, but only recently took the commitment level up to official padded-bottom spandex bike shorts. I’m a little disconcerted when he walks around the house in them and suddenly has a bum nicer than mine. What’s next – a spandex bike shirt […]
Monday Moments
Sometimes I just feel like a parenting rockstar. Not often, mind you, so I have to enjoy the moments I do, and remember them on those days when I just can’t handle one more request for a different coloured cup or work up the energy to say yes to pulling out the play dough. With number 4 getting […]
Raspberry Chia Bran Muffins
You just never know what random things will have a major impact on your life, something you never saw coming, something that makes each and every day a little better. My sister swears by bra fittings and eyebrow threading: I add to the list good socks. Good socks, my friends, are something I never had until […]
