I’m the furthest thing from a math person, but I’ve got a foolproof formula today, just in time for summer: The Salad Formula. Patent pending :) Some examples (any of which are great with a simple dressing of equal parts olive oil/balsamic vinegar, or your favourite fresh and fruity vinaigrette): Prewashed greens + strawberries + mozzarella + pecans = […]
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: Daddy’s Boy
We recently switched Carl’s office and our playroom around, and Theo seems to think the swap was designed solely for his joy. Not only does he love puttering around the new, bigger playroom where he’s free to throw balls with abandon, he also has his daddy only a few steps away from the living room. […]
Lemon Rhubarb Coffee Cake
Yeeeee-awn. I’ve been trying to get up extra early every day for some quiet devotion and alone time, and, while the sun makes it easier, it still isn’t easy for someone who loves their bed as much as I do. I don’t drink coffee, so coffee cake is like my coffee – a morning pick-me-up accompanied perfectly […]
May Madness
Forget March, May is where the madness happens. We’ve been busy, but in a fantastic way, between celebrating a brand new 6-year-old, enjoying Mother’s Day, and taking a couple nights away to celebrate our anniversary. Somewhere in there I started a new semester of school, so this week will be spent wrapping my head around […]
Perfect Rhubarb Muffins
Let’s talk about classics that never go out of style. A good pair of jeans. One well-cut blazer. A pair of diamond studs. Nude peep-toe pumps. A pencil skirt. Some things are just classics, things every girl would use over and over and over again if she invested in them (and didn’t change size too […]
8 Years & Counting
Tomorrow I have been married to this (exceedingly handsome) man for 8 whole years. He loves it when I take pictures of him when he’s trying to relax on the deck ;) But what’s a post without pictures? And he certainly needs a post, a day early because I’m going offline for a couple days […]
Chocolate Cranberry Sweet Rolls with Orange Glaze
Well, I now have something besides a baby on which to blame my ever-and-rapidly-expanding girth. Sweet roll baking has completely taken over bread baking in my life and kitchen, and I’m not even sorry. Leftover cranberry sauce has to be one of my favourite leftovers, and these sweet rolls are proof of why. Just thinking […]
The Canadian Food Experience Project: Gardening
Gardening has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, thanks to the same Dad who made sure annual camping trips, driveway hockey, canoeing, and remote controlled trains were part of the lives of his 5 daughters. Whether I wanted to or not, I was out there weeding and picking when […]
Monday Moments: Theo
Theo has reached such a fun age, the age where he has stopped tempting death by hunting down marbles and Lego to put in his mouth, and turned instead to new, more mature endeavours. I feel like he figures out something new every day – unfortunately it isn’t things like new words, how to eat […]
Pizza Fondue
Fonduuuuuue. I absolutely love dunking delicious things in other delicious things. I’ve never been a fan of oil fondues because cooking little bits of everything in oil doesn’t really whet my appetite, and also, hot oil = danger, but chocolate fondue, cheese fondue, and pizza fondue? Hand me a bib and everything dunkable you got. […]
