Nothing says “Happy Birthday” like a big bowl of cereal, right? This is the best kind of birthday cake – all the birthday boy’s favourite flavours, tucked under a bit of whimsy to make the family smile :) When given our challenge for the month, cake decorating, I knew I would have the perfect excuse […]
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.

Teriyaki Chicken Stirfry {with Homemade Teriyaki Sauce}
Homemade teriyaki sauce isn’t something I ever really thought I’d be making, or recommending other people make. There are plenty of flavourful bottles of teriyaki sauce available at your local supermarket, I feel quite sure. But one day when I planned on teriyaki sauce in my dinner and found myself out, my mom pointed me […]
Monday Moments
We’re almost 4 months in and the novelty of this little guy shows no signs of wearing off. I think we’ll keep him. Here’s an average February day in the life of our little bear. A chat with his favourite sister – he cannot contain his wiggly, giggly excitement if she is within 20 feet […]
Saturday Sweets: Chewy Homemade Granola Bars
I used to buy granola bars like they were going out of style. You know, the chocolate dipped ones stuffed with marshmallows, chocolate chips, and sprinkles? Those ones. Now I make granola bars like they’re going out of style. And I don’t dip them in chocolate, much as I’d sometimes like to. These aren’t a granola bar […]
Peppery Chicken Quinoa {Cookbook Feature}
I am at heart a learner. I love the fact that it really is possible to learn something new everyday. Of course, with 3 preschoolers around, many a day goes by where the only kind of information I learn is that the words to the song are NOT “found me another one, prettier too, skip […]
Monday Moments
Gemma used to LOVE helping me in the kitchen, but lately her interest has waned. That is, until Kristopher became interested in helping – suddenly there were epic battles for chair space and pouring privileges, and a couple spilled cups of flour with a guilty face on each side of the pile, opposing small hands […]
Saturday Sweets: Fudgy Brownies with Cookie Dough Frosting
So I had these brownies lurking in my freezer due to what I can only assume was residual baby brain. While making the brownie layer for the base of that Brownie Cake with Coconut Meringue, I somehow ended up doubling the butter in the very first step and melting it with the chocolate, making it […]
Heart-Shaped Cake with Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting
Happy Valentine’s Day!! Love it or hate it, you can’t rain on my parade – I don’t do anything particularly special for Valentine’s Day, my husband and I don’t do presents (in fact, we won’t even be together for dinner), but I love the whole idea of a day dedicated to showing your love. We […]
Strawberry Chocolate Muffins
When I think of Valentine’s Day, the first thing that comes to my mind is chocolate-dipped strawberries. I am not one for romance, as my poor husband can attest – I am as likely to make gagging noises and roll my eyes as I am to feel frisky when he pulls out a good line […]
Saturday Sweets: Cranberry Bliss Cookies
Did you all experience the Cranberry Bliss Bar bonanza over the holiday season? I can’t say I’ve ever had the original Starbucks version, but I did have several delicious homemade versions over the course of the Christmas season. As much as I love the convenience of bars, I always feel like I’m taking in way […]
