Tonight I’m attending my 10-year grad reunion. It kinda makes me feel like I’m getting old, but also kinda makes me feel SO YOUNG to be well on my way to baby #3, to have moved 5 times with my husband (and high school sweetheart), to be a perpetual student in various fields, to be […]
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.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Skillet Cookie
Skillet cookies. Also known as the reason I bought a cast iron skillet. Also known as the reason I no longer fit a size zero skirt (that could also be because I’m not 17 anymore). Also known as how to win friends and influence people with only one dish and 30 minutes from “hey, we […]
Barbecue Pulled Pork Enchiladas
I am a slave to what you people want. You worry about all the sweets I eat: I join boot camp. You coo at pictures of babies: I make more babies. You ask for more savoury recipes: I deliver. And by “deliver“, I mean I ROCK ME SOME SAVOURY. Yup, I said it. I am […]
Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble
Today I am shamelessly taking credit for something I did not make. My mom made this delicious dessert, over on the other side of the country from me, and when she told me about it, I naturally encouraged her to take a picture of two and send them my way. Food blogging 101: How to […]
Saturday Sweets: Chocolate Surprise Cupcakes
When it comes to cake and cupcakes, box mixes have spoiled a lot of things for me. They’re just so. darn. good. But I don’t want to use a box mix. I just want it to have that same light, fluffy, almost-dry, stick-to-the-back-of-your-throat crumb texture that stays fresh for days and doesn’t take over from any filling […]
Lemon Chia Seed Muffins
My little sister’s big day is coming up this summer and I’m so excited to see her walk down the aisle, to see my little girl be a flower girl, and just to see my whole family together for the first time since last summer (I know, a lot of families go longer, but for […]
Monday Must-Haves
What are some things that have made you happy lately? Things you’re looking forward to? Things you love, want, or need? These are just a few things that fall into some of those categories for me :) 1) Clothing exchanges. I have been to two in the last month, the first two of my life. […]
Pumpkin Spice Breakfast Cakes
I know, it’s summer. But where I live in the Fraser Valley, you certainly wouldn’t know it to look outside. We’re in the middle of the coldest June on record, and rain is the norm. Quite honestly, I am heavily in favour of cool weather and a little dampness, so I’m not complaining. The weather […]
Homemade Fruit Leather
You guys, I am in a funk. You know one of those funks when you could nap all day and just want that leftover 7-layer dip in the fridge for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? When dinnertime rolls around and you look blankly at the hungry little faces nearby and go grab them a bowl of […]
Broccoli Salad
I tried Cheerios for the first time last night. Um, how did they become so popular? I buy them for an easy portable snack for my kids, but had never actually tried them with milk. I’m one of those who just splashes milk near my cereal bowl, since I’m technically sensitive to it and don’t […]
