As hard as I try to share more easy dinner recipes, it never seems to happen with any kind of consistency :) Believe it or not, I actually love cooking as much as I love baking, but for totally different reasons. I like baking because it is precise and predictable and consistent, and it’s […]
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.

Hours I can never get back
Some things happen and I look back and wish I could get those hours back and have a redo. I know it’s not worth it to look back, since that just wastes more time, but remembering can also prevent me from making the same mistakes twice. Examples? Watching “Old School”, or any Will Ferrell movie, […]
Boterkoek AKA Butter Cake
I hate missing an instalment of Saturday Sweets. Sweets are near and dear to my heart, and I love that they have a day around here all to themselves! (Not that sweets never make other appearances :)) But alas, sometimes there are just not enough hours in a day, or even in 3 or […]
DIY Chalkboards
Sometimes when you least expect it you happen upon the best finds. I’ve been finding our bedroom too dark and gray for summer, and as we were walking through the mall the other day in search of a white tube top (don’t ask), we happened past clearance duvet covers, and look what I grabbed for […]
Peach Cobbler Scones
Little known fact: Carl and I dream of one day owning a fabulous Bed & Breakfast. We’ve stayed at a only a couple of B & B’s in our lives so far, but we love the friendly atmosphere, the great locations, and, obviously, the delicious breakfasts. I don’t eat heavy breakfasts but I would definitely […]
Saturday Sweets: Honey Yogurt Cheesecake
Let me start off by saying that this was not my favourite dessert ever. Normally I’m all “oh-so-delicious”, “must-make”, “best thing ever”! and I totally mean all those things. So I want to be completely upfront so you know you can trust me all those other times – straight up, this was a dessert I […]
Double Chocolate Waffles
Carl bought “me” a waffle maker for Mother’s Day this year and, while I’ve yet to actually make waffles, I have had some pretty amazing waffles since. I’ve never been a fan of waffles, but I’d also never had homemade waffles – the difference is like that between store-bought Wonderbread and fresh homemade bread: incomparable. […]
Banana Bread Scones
The HEAT, my friends. Oh, the heat. It’s slowly killing me: my creativity, my personality, my skin, my joie de vivre…ergh. We don’t have air conditioning in our house or our car and sometimes I wonder if I will ever feel cool again. We also only have one car, so when I’m at home there […]
Chocolate Zucchini Banana Muffins
I like to show up late for parties, much to my husband’s eternal frustration. Partly I like to show up late because that eternal frustration can be a source of some amusement. When you’re a full foot shorter and 100 lbs lighter than your significant other you can’t really strike up a fair tickle fight, […]
Apple Rhubarb Crisp (Gluten Free)
Saturday! It’s my first official Saturday of always-working-Saturdays along with my other days since I’ve decided to buckle down and see if I can’t get my 600 hours in to qualify for maternity leave again…3 months to go, so as long as I can work till mid-October I should be fine! Who says no to […]
