We celebrated Carl’s birthday last week with much fanfare and excitement (by which I mean there was cake, homemade pizza, a couple little gifts, and we watched a movie with the kids after their bedtime :)). My parents also generously sent Carl and I out for dinner later in the week, where Carl had what […]
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.

Saturday Sweets: Dipped Coconut Macaroons
It’s a beee-yoo-tiful sunny cold day here in Ontario, the first draft of my impending paper is printed off for editing, and we’re off to visit my littlest sister and some butterflies, so it promises to be a great day! We won’t talk about the fact that Carl leaves on Monday, putting an end to […]
Ravioli & Sausage Lasagna
Have you been watching any Olympics? I hate the feeling of having the TV on during the day, but I can’t help but love the feats of strength and skill on constant display. I just sit there and exclaim about the LEGS, the ARMS, the CORE STRENGTH! The ski jumpers who can basically lay parallel […]
Monday Moments
Valentine’s Day is a lot more special when you’re at Grandma’s house! My mom went all out with special decorations, flowers, candy, and a fabulous high tea for Valentine’s Day this year. The kids were in their glory with heart-shaped lemon scones, various tea sandwiches, fruit salad, and dessert served up for a “high tea” […]
Saturday Sweets: Cookie Dough Truffle Bars
Do you ever watch Dragon’s Den or Shark Tank? I’m not really a TV watcher, but I love those shows. I tend to think most things have already been invented, and then along comes someone with a brilliant, and usually simple, invention or solution of some sort that makes me think, “Now why didn’t I […]
Taco Lasagna
I’ve been holding out on you with a super easy dinner recipe you’re going to want to add to your plans this week. I apologize for this blogging negligence, and offer you a taco lasagna peace offering. No more secrets here. The first time I made this I had some friends coming over and it […]
Monday Moments
I had the privilege of spending the weekend in Canada’s capital with my hubby and some dear friends and it was wonderful. Cold, but wonderful :) My parents generously offered to babysit the kids while I flew off for a few days, and we took full advantage of the opportunity to wander into tightly-packed restaurants […]
Saturday Sweets: Fudgy Peppermint Brownies
If only I could be that blogger who’s in style when it comes to food, I totally would have shared these with you around Christmas, when mint chocolate combinations and candy canes are allll the rage. But then I would also be the kind of blogger who makes Thanksgiving dinner and 25 side dishes and […]
A Canadian Love Affair: Seafood Chowder Recipe
This post is part of the Canadian Food Experience Project, a project begun June 2013. As we (participants) share our collective stories through our regional food experiences and food memories, we hope to bring global clarity to our Canadian culinary identity. This month’s topic is “A Canadian Love Affair”, which can apply to absolutely anything we love […]
Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Scones
It’s been too long since we talked breakfast recipes! Not that long, you say? A week is long when we don’t talk breakfast, my friends. Breakfast isn’t called the fuel of champions for nothing. Actually, I made that up, it’s not even called that. But champions do eat breakfast, and that’s a fact. Some champions […]
