“Yook at that yuuuuuge pile of yawndry! Ooooooh, can I touch it? Can I?” With those words, and an awestruck expression, Kristopher carefully climbed onto the kitchen table the other morning to investigate the tower of clean “yawndry” overflowing my laundry basket after a night of washing everything I could get my hands on, from […]
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.

Mini Pumpkin Doughnut Muffins
Just when you thought you’d already had enough of pumpkin, I’m here to tell you there is more pumpkin be explored! More to be enjoyed! More to be baked! Maybe this year I’ll even attempt carving a pumpkin for the first time in my life? Also, ’tis the season for pumpkin patches! We ventured out […]
Turkey & Sausage Jambalaya
When someone asks me at work if it’s ok for them to paint while pregnant, I feel like they think they are looking at an 8- month-pregnant party girl with a cigarette in one hand and a beer in the other. Really, are you asking me, in my obviously pregnant state, if it’s ok for […]
Furniture Refinishing: TV Wall Unit
Welcome to another fun Furniture Friday! This one is a looooong time in coming, and I am SO excited to finally be able to share it! When we lived in Ottawa (so, like 2.5 years ago?) I found this fabulous wall unit second hand for a steal of a deal and just had to have […]
Pumpkin Graham Muffins
Lately I feel like I’m caught in a massive round of catch-up where you never quite get caught up. I’m holding on to the knowledge that by next Saturday I’ll be done the necessary papers I need to do for school and the articles I need to write for a magazine, finished with the welcome […]
Dark Chocolate Merlot Skillet Cookie / Brownies
When someone pointed out that my beloved skillet cookie, in both its original and peanut butter forms, had the equivalent ingredients to a whole BATCH of cookies, rather than think, “EW, you’re right, that’s excessive”, I thought “Oooh, you’re right, what OTHER cookie recipes could be baked in this wonderful way?!” What other cookies do […]
Homemade Multigrain Bagels
Oh Philosophy. Why do you have to be sooo… sooo… well… philosophical?? I am constantly reminded of how I felt in high school math: frustrated, uninterested, and counting the hours till it’s all over. Yes, I am real, yes God exists just because I believe it’s true, and yes, I realize I am difficult to […]
Because I’m a Mom
So sometimes I have to do the whole mom-blog thing. Even if I am rather eager to tell you how good these dark chocolate merlot cookies are when adapted to be made skillet cookie style…please do check in on Saturday for the results of that rather obviously delicious marriage :) It’s definitely fall – I […]
Homemade French Bread/Baguette
Wanna know how I spent my Friday, so I can make excuses for why there were no Saturday sweets to be found and no First on the First bread pudding to read about today? I was making the following things and not taking a single picture (good thing I took some other days :)): 2 […]
Fruit & Granola Wraps
I have a new favourite breakfast. And a new favourite lunch. And I’m sharing them both with you on the same day, can you believe it? AND I’m sharing them conveniently close to sharing homemade granola with you, which can be put to good use in this “recipe” of sorts…although I admit I used a […]
