With a new year, many people are focused on new resolutions, or the revival of old resolutions that were cast to the wayside at some point in the last year or years. This month’s Canadian Food Experience Challenge focuses on resolutions, and when it comes to food resolutions, the one I’ve made (and broken) the […]
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
Did I tell you I’m moving back in with my parents? I feel like I may have neglected to mention this impending fact: I’m almost 30 and moving back in with my parents. Not just me, either. Me AND my three kiddos. Fun, right? For me at least, not necessarily for my parents, or their […]
Saturday Sweets: Gingerbread Drop Cookies
Know what I love? Gingerbread cookies. Know what I don’t love? Rolling out dough, using cookie cutters, and decorating cookies. What’s a girl to do? Enter these: These gingerbread drop cookies are the perfect answer. I have a gingersnap recipe I love, but they aren’t quite exactly like gingerbread. These cookies are more gingerbread-man-like: thicker, […]
Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake
Happy New Year! What better way to start off the year than with a sticky caramel cake? New Years for many is full of resolutions about the sorts of food you will be eating, or not eating, but my resolution in that regard remains the same as always – eat a healthy, balanced diet, enjoy […]
Top 10 Recipes of 2013
Happy New Years Eve…I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are ready to ring in the New Year filled with hope for what’s ahead. I know I’m excited and curious to see what 2014 will bring…in the early plans are a short-term move to Ontario and a makeover for the blog, but it’s […]
Merry Christmas – and my Christmas baking (wish)list
I love everything about Christmas. The weather, the decorations, the stocking stuffing, the season-specific baking, and, above all, the celebration of Jesus humbling himself, becoming man in his most helpless state, a newborn baby. Whether Dec. 25 is actually the day of his historical birth or not matters little – it’s an event that […]
Pomegranate Bliss Cookies
Cranberry Bliss Bars are everywhere this time of year, and I tried my first ever actual Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bar a couple weeks ago. It was blissful. Last year I made Cranberry Bliss Cookies and Chocolate Cranberry Bliss Cookies, and both were a big hit and I’ve made them many times since. This is a […]
Honey Garlic Chicken Stirfry
It’s been 5 days since my wisdom teeth came out, and I have to say it was anti-climactic. I’m sure a lot of the credit for that goes to my fantastic dental surgeon, but my preparations for several days holed up in bed certainly did not come to fruition. I should have known my control […]
Monday Moments
Uh oh, this looks like trouble. Whatcha got there, buddy? *Hits the floor* She’ll never notice me down here… AHA, right into the trap laid by Snuggly Security. Another successful interception of the elusive snack smuggling ring.
My Favourite Chocolate Chip Cookie
If you follow me on Facebook (you should – I would love to hit 1000 fans by Christmas!), you already know I got my wisdom teeth out on Wednesday. I was only wise enough to grow three, thankfully, so this was no 4-wisdom-teeth-story: The missing wisdom tooth was one of the pesky bottom ones, so […]
