Aaah, best-laid plans. Last week my talented sister Sarah of Unexpected Moments Photography was kind enough to slot us in on a days’ notice to get some 3-year shots of Kristopher to wrap up his annual photo book. He was fine with the idea of pictures, and loved that he and his little brother even […]
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: Granola Bars
Do you have a food that you just like best store bought? A packaged-good-weakness you never plan to give up? I have a couple. 1) Oreos. Mind you, I haven’t tried these homemade Oreos yet…I’ll report back. 2) Wheat Thins. Although I think I could challenge that with this recipe, but I know I won’t […]
First on the First: PENUCHE
Penooooosh. I just love this new word in my vocabulary. And the fact that this lovely, noosh-y word describes the richest of caramel fudge is just icing on the cake. And penuche as icing on the cake? Someone totally did that, and I want that someone to be me soon. This month’s First on […]
Monday Moments
Near the end of the summer we went on a bit of a crafting spree, as we do from time to time, and I thought I should share for those of you who, like me, are completely lost if a craft requires more than 5 supplies and 3 steps. None of these are difficult – […]
Saturday Sweets: Cookies & Cream Fudge
So today we’re talking about things you can make with 3 ingredients, in 5 minutes. That must mean we’re talking about this Cookies & Cream Fudge? Oh good, I’m in the right place. And yes, you read that right – 3 ingredients and 5 minutes (plus chilling time, but really, you can chill for that time […]
Mom’s Classic Pea Soup with Ham
Since I’m currently up to my eyeballs in sick children, homework, housework, and fall-welcoming interpretive dances, my lovely Mom is here again with one of the classics – pea soup! This stuff is thick, green, fragrant, and absolutely soul warming. I happen to have a ham bone in the freezer to be made into exactly […]
Baked Parmesan Wedge Fries
Guys, my baby is broken. He was such a good sleeper, and so was I. Those were the days, my friends, and they’re becoming hazier and hazier in the distant past. I think he sensed I’m staying up later and getting up earlier in order to get everything done and so he thinks we […]
Monday Moments
I take most of the pictures around here, but when Carl decided to upgrade our camera (thank you!!) my old camera became a popular toy with my mini-mes. The picture taking happened fast and furious, and I had to do my hair for a whole week before the novelty wore off. Yay for rechargeable batteries! […]
Saturday Sweets: Apple Crumble Pizza
Well, it’s early in the season (in fact, the season is being stinkin’ elusive), but I feel confident declaring this my favourite new fall dessert. You all know how much I love my apple crumble, and I stand by my bold claim that it is the best ever, but this whole wheat apple crumble pizza? […]
Taco Taquitos
Ooops. Somehow I wrote about these taco taquitos a couple months ago and then forgot to hit “publish” and alas, there they have sat, lost in drafts, until their recent rediscovery! Maybe I should go through that folder more often…there are some other gems hovering in there waiting for their moment to shine. :) Well, […]
