Tis the season for one of my favourite things: appies for dinner! I love parties packed with appetizers in every corner, with so many things to choose from and the absolute need to sample each and every option. You don’t need to eat dinner before these sorts of parties, that would be a waste of […]
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.

Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal
Guys, I feel like you’ve been holding out on me. Why has no one been shoving baked oatmeal recipes into my hands, insisting I add it to my breakfast routine regardless of childhood oatmeal trauma? Baked oatmeal is the bomb, and that’s not something I say, like….ever. I love the endless possible flavour variations once […]
Monday Moments
We hauled out the Christmas décor this past week, and with a rare cold front and light snowfall the day we decorated, it couldn’t have been more perfect. I was, quite frankly, too tired to go all out this year so I decided to forego any greenery besides the tree and one piece of garland […]
A Canadian Christmas Tradition: Tourtière Recipe
It’s Saturday, but we’re not talking sweets today – if you need a sweet fix, check out the recent Chocolate Pomegranate Bark or less recent Forget Me Cookies – both are close to my sweet-loving heart :) Today’s savoury recipe is a part of the Canadian Food Experience Project, a movement spearheaded by the most […]
Whole Wheat Raspberry Waffles
Remember last year Carl bought me a waffle maker for Mother’s Day? It may be the best gift I’ve ever received, because, thanks to it, I’ve eaten many a delicious waffle but still don’t even know how to operate the thing. Carl took on full waffle-making responsibility when he brought home the waffle maker and […]
First on the First: Homemade Candy Canes
Have you ever watched expert sugar artists on the food network? I have, on occasion, and I am completely floored by the delicate, whisper-thin creations they are able to make out of sugar. They also don’t stop telling you the whole time how extremely fragile everything is, and how the slightest heavy breathing could shatter […]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Cupcakes
I am stuck in the vicious cycle of emptying my dishwasher just so that I can immediately fill it back up and start it again. This cycle is lousy because it means I’m not emptying my dishwasher in the morning, so dishes are piling up all day just waiting for me to give in and […]
Cheesy Bacon Spinach Dip
I have a constant internal battle going on. I just can’t decide what I like better, sweet or salty. As much as I love my sweets, salty snacks like nachos or hot cheesy dips with accompanying chips or hefty sourdough bread generally hold the number one spot in my heart. Funnily enough, I almost never […]
Monday Moments
I’d hate for you to think I have it all together, and have an organized blogging schedule and set plan for what to make, when to photograph it, when to write about it, and what to say about it. I don’t. I fly by the seat of my pants. I bake and cook a lot, […]
Dark Chocolate Pomegranate Bark
If you’ve never de-seeded a pomegranate, you need to take the plunge. If these Pomegranate Oatmeal Cookies didn’t convince you, and these Oatmeal Pomegranate Muffins also failed to send you squealing to the grocery store, this chocolate bark has to be the deciding recipe. Yes, pomegranates are a bit of a pain in the you-know-what to de-seed, […]
