Ok, I give in. All the pumpkin recipes circling the blogging world and covering Pinterest make my head spin…and make me very, very hungry. I’m not much of a bandwagon jumper, but this is definitely one of those times I am happy to follow the crowd – it’s a smart crowd. It’s time to break […]
Basic Homemade Granola
I used to be a honey-hater. Turns out I was buying the wrong honey, and getting the wrong impression from those horrid yellow and black fuzzy jackets. Don’t judge a book by it’s fashion, I suppose. Something like that. When you’re incubating a small one and want it to come out with all the appropriate […]
Thankful
We’re back from an amazing extended weekend of much-needed holidays and, while that means a week of playing catch-up lies ahead, there is so much to be thankful for. Healthy, happy kids who love me and each other. A baby who has figured out how to turn head down and is now growing well and […]
Saturday Sweets: Lightning McQueen Car Cupcakes
Thanks so much for following along with muffin week!! To top it off we have an extra special kind of muffin – THE CUPCAKE. I love birthday cake and cupcakes, and it is one of the few scents and flavours I crave when pregnant, so I was thrilled to have an opportunity to make (and eat) some! […]
Glazed Lemon Blueberry Muffins
Yesterday my little man turned TWO! I can honestly hardly believe it, and at the same time I can’t believe he hasn’t been two for ages. I can hardly believe it because I feel like I missed most of his first year and a bit in a blur of us not really getting along or […]
Vanilla Chocolate Chip Muffins
I think it’s high time we had a theme week here at Hidden Ponies! We almost had a breakfast theme going, but it was never quite official or quite consistent – so welcome to official MUFFIN WEEK! An official name means good things are sure to follow :) Today’s muffin recipe is a simple […]
Peanut Butter Oreo Ice Cream Pie
Sometimes you come across a recipe you know is bound to become a stand-by for many years of parties to come. Enjoyed by kids and adults alike at a Labour Day barbecue, this “pie” is impressive to look at, and ridiculously easy to throw together. I imagine my kids will be asking for this for […]
Mason Jar Display Wall – Take 2
Remember when I thought it would be such a good idea to plant my herbs in mason jars and hang them on my walls? Yeah. I should’ve realized that you don’t put some things where the sun don’t shine and expect them to thrive. Long story short, the herbs moved to my kitchen windowsill, where […]
Carrot Lentil Soup
Yesterday I went to my first day of school, for about the 30th time, and it was as good as ever, even if I was showing up in a minivan. I absolutely love fresh, clean, lined paper, new pens that flow smoothly over the page, and the slightly overwhelmed feeling I get when I look […]
First on the First: Cantaloupe Peach Soup with Blackberry Drizzle
I pride myself on being pretty good at grammar and spelling, and years of avid reading mean there aren’t many words I haven’t come across and have at least an inkling of how to spell. “Cantaloupe”, apparently, is not a word that authors use often. And I don’t think the handwritten signs at grocery stores […]
