Theo is learning how to play (as if such a thing needs to be learned…I’m thinking “play” is more instinctual than learned, yes?). Technicalities aside, he’s good at it. He can play by himself. He can play with his cousin. He can rock his sister’s sunnies in his “deck-cersaucer”. He can empty the pictures and […]
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.

No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oat Bars
Recipe naming really isn’t my forte, as you can see from that unwieldy title. Eating is my forte. I’m ok with this. These chocolatey, peanut buttery squares happened because: a) it was too hot to bake b) I was out of butter anyways c) I had overbought peanut butter and needed to deal with it, […]
Mom’s Chicken with Mushrooms & Leeks
Recipes like this Chicken with Mushrooms and Leeks are the reason blogs should have more than one contributor. I’m sure there are many of you out there who love a good mushroom, and if I were the only one writing here it’s pretty unlikely you’d come across any good mushroom recipes, meaning you’d have to […]
Nine Ways to Use Zucchini
Our zucchini plant has started flowering with abandon, and, while it’s only produced 3 good size zucchinis so far, I feel like this is the beginning of an abundance. Growing up, my dad never had the heart to thin out his zucchini plants when they all seemed to be flourishing, so we always ended up […]
First on the First: ETON MESS
Well, this dessert is exactly what it sounds like: a hot mess. I had never heard of Eton Mess until learning it was our First on the First challenge for this month! Turns out it’s just a messy, easy, crowd-pleasing dessert full of strawberries, whipped cream, and meringue, a throw-together version of one of my […]
A Regional Canadian Food: Five Minute Homemade Raspberry Chia Jam
This recipe is a part of the Canadian Food Experience Project. As we (participants) share our collective stories through our regional food experiences, we hope to bring global clarity to our Canadian culinary identity – coming from the Berry Capital of Canada, I had to share something that showcases berries in all their natural beauty! Homemade jam in 5 minutes! […]
Monday Moments
The holidaying continues at full relaxing tilt o’er here. Temperatures have been soaring, along with suffocating humidity, reminding me why I didn’t love Ontario summers in our little apartment sans air conditioning. I was totally unprepared packing-wise, with barely a tank top or pair of shorts in sight, but we’re doing an acceptable job of […]
Saturday Sweets: Lemon Raspberry Edition
My little sister Emily is getting married today! She is going to be QUITE the stunner in her gorgeous dress, and we’re all excited to witness the youngest of 5 sisters say “I do” to her handsome man. In Emily’s honour, I’m doing a round-up of desserts in her favourite flavour combination – lemon and […]
Carrot & Beet Muffins
Since I’m on holidays and you might not be, I thought I should share some great, healthy muffins with you to make up for it. Muffins are the best way to make veggies part of your breakfast routine without having to drink grass. I’m sorry, very-full-green-smoothie-bandwagon, I am not jumping aboard. Smoothies should be pink. Muffin […]
Monday Moments
My youngest sister is getting married next week and I can’t wait to see her walk down the aisle. In the meantime, we are having all sorts of fun with the family we rarely get to see. We aren’t very good at capturing everything, like the kids sitting beside Babu singing all the songs […]
