Rumor has it Chelsea has been promising more healthy meals on the blog…but until we have evidence to back that up, carry on coming over for a sweet fix! :) I do actually have several dinner recipes I can’t wait to share with you, and am so happy to be back on meal planning track […]
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.

Serious S’mores Bars
I’ve had sex-in-a-pan, and I have to say it was disappointing. I’m not the biggest pudding fan, nor do I want to be eating pudding after someone has just mentioned the word sex. With that wildly inappropriate intro, let me get to the point before I lose you – THESE are worthy of a terrible […]
The Baby Naming Challenge
I have a rambunctious, dramatic, jealous, clingy, climbing, unreasonable, pushy, frustrating, totally loveable 16-month-old boy named Kristopher. Kristopher means “bearer of Christ”, which I love. But really, most days I’m surprised he has a name at all. Choosing a boy’s name just about killed me. It just about ended my marriage. It prevented me from […]
Fluffy Homemade Marshmallows
Happy New Year! My resolution: keep trying new things in the kitchen. Done and done. This year should be a breeze! I never thought I would be able to say, “I made homemade marshmallows”. But then again, I never really thought much about it at all. I have other things to think about. Like cheese. […]

Time really does go more quickly every year, doesn’t it? This blog began back at the end of January 2011, so it’s already been almost a year in progress! It’s so fun looking back, and seeing even in that short time how much has changed! Here’s a look back at our Top 10 favorite recipes we […]
Whipped & Dipped Shortbread
Do you have any secret family recipes that you don’t want anyone getting their hands on? A recipe you love to make for people to enjoy, but only want them to enjoy in your presence? A favourite treat that no one else’s can ever compare to? This Whipped Shortbread is that for me. This is […]
Ham & Lentil Soup
I hope you all had a great Christmas dinner or three! I am still beyond full from the two I enjoyed, neither of which I had to prepare, although I did make large quantities of these potatoes, Chocolate Ecstasy, and Pumpkin Toffee Cheesecake. Now the leftovers sitting in my fridge make me sad I don’t […]
Merry Christmas!
We hope you all have a very merry Christmas, even if, like us, your family is spread way too far apart, you decided against buying many gifts, you didn’t finish all the baking and cleaning and painting and organizing and sleeping you had planned…the real reason for the season means that none of that matters, […]
Pomegranate Oatmeal Muffins
The side ponytail is taking over my life. Sidebraids, side twists, side buns…I’m doing them all. My hair has gotten a little longer than usual due to my lack of time and money, and I’m embracing it. I think it’s catching on, I really do. In (clearly) related news, pomegranates are taking over my life. […]
Saturday Sweets: Apple Streusel Coffee Cake
Did you all think I might get sick of streusel one day? After eating these scones (my favourite breakfast), this cake, and these muffins? NEEEVVVVVERRRRRRRR!! Mmmm, streuselly streuselly streusel. Coommmme to meeeee. Ahem. Remember awhile back when I scads of apples and made apple pie filling? Yeah, don’t worry, I didn’t remember either. That’s what happens […]
