Have you ever been to a private zoo? From my (admittedly limited) experience, they compare to the “big” zoos like afternoon tea with the queen compares to an impromptu beach barbecue with friends. Both things you are interested in doing. But one is very proper and a planned event, taking over your day, while the […]
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.

Peach Raspberry Crisp
Since I’m sure you’re all totally tired of hearing about my lovely time on holidays, I thought I’d tell you about a delicious recipe you should all make instead :) My mom made this family favourite for us to enjoy this week and was kind enough to let me photograph it before (and after) we […]
Holiday Happenings
We’re having a great time on holidays, despite the flu making an unexpected appearance and minor windstorms on the beach coating us in sand! Here’s a glimpse of what we’ve been up to for the last week! And to think a whole other week of fun still awaits :) Aside from the wedding excitement and […]
Saturday Sweets: GLUTEN FREE EDITION!
In honour of our sister’s wedding day, today’s Saturday Sweets are all about gluten free treats! Erin has been through a lot healthwise to date, with uncertainty remaining in her future, but her positive attitude, willingness to be flexible, and ability to think outside the traditional healthcare box all make her someone I absolutely admire […]
Juicy Chicken Parmesan
I’m off for a mom-and-sisters’ pedicure soon in preparation for tomorrow’s wedding, but I just wouldn’t feel right relaxing without sharing this easiest of recipes with you all :) Really, it could well be that I’m the last to get on this mayo-chicken bandwagon, but just in case there are a few stragglers out there […]

Saturday Sweets: “Forget-Me” Meringue Cookies
Happy Saturday, fellow sweet lovers! Sweet lovers. That’s us. Hell-ooooo, sweet lovers. Sorry, this was an awkward moment, so let’s move on to my lovely Aunt Shirley’s recipe. These are a crisp-crackly meringue in perfect gluten free cookie form, chock full of milk chocolate and pecans, totally different from my cookie norm, and a family […]
Roasted Cherry Chocolate Brownies (or Cake)
Have you noticed cherries are all the rage lately? If not, here’s the facts: They kinda are. So are brightly coloured pants. I hope? Because I have some and I love ’em. And you all know being all the rage is what I’m allll about. *jokes* Cherries are one fruit that only seems to be affordably […]
BAKLAVA, baby
When I’m pregnant, I don’t grow leg hair. Apparently this is a sign of it being a boy on the way, and indeed, a boy is what I had last time around when I noticed this fantastic phenomenon, but I honestly can’t say if it was the case the first time around, when I had […]
Cranberry Flax Muffins
How was everyone’s weekend? Mine saw soaring temperatures and all sorts of fun. Friday morning was spent at a wonderful local berry farm, where Gemma made gooey eyes at my friend’s handsome son, and they had a great time playing together. The kids loved the berry farm, which definitely catered to families (even someone to […]
