I love homemade buns more than any sweet I could ever make. I know that’s saying a lot, but given the choice of fresh homemade bread or buns vs. baking I would choose the buns every time. There’s nothing that beats the smell of homemade bread baking, and nothing that beats a warm, fresh piece […]
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.

The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap: Empire Cookies
I was so excited to participate in the First (Annual?) Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap this year! This online event took off with amazing speed, and resulted in more than 22,000 delicious being shipped all over the world! Pretty amazing, right?? Of course, after signing up I immediately went into planning mode as to what […]
Pumpkin Streusel Bundt Cake
Holiday season is in full swing, and many of us are just coming out of our fall pumpkin coma, just in time for one more delicious pumpkin recipe! This cake is definitely worth cracking open one more can of pumpkin, brewing up some chai tea, and inviting a few friends for coffee or dessert. Part […]
Mexican Pasta Bake
It’s been brought to my attention lately that we need to post more legitimate meals around here. Apparently cookies and nanaimo bars do not qualify for everyone :) We’re more than happy to oblige, if someone would kindly extend the daylight hours! Taking pictures with an old point and shoot which doesn’t like to be […]
A personal realization
I have come to a realization about myself: I am not into process. We’ve pretty much finished renovations around here, with the exception of our kitchen and ensuite, and renovations continue in force in the basement, and this, combined with my love of perusing food blogs, has made me come to this striking realization about […]
Chocolate Pomegranate Oatmeal Cookies
Are you all as bake exchange-crazy as me? I’ve controlled myself this year and am only involved in 3 different baking exchanges, one of which is the super fun Food Blogger Cookie Swap, which meant some delicious Andes Mint Chocolate Cookies arrived in the mail from Kristy the other day with a lovely note! […]
Lemon White Chocolate Sugar Cookies
I have one more pumpkin recipe I’m dying to tell you all about, but before you roll over and groan at the thought of MORE! PUMPKIN!, I’ll save it for another day. But be warned, it’s coming. After all, I’ve yet to find a good spot for a Smashing Pumpkins joke, and it’s dying to […]
Oh, Pinterest.
Bloggoooooons! I have missed you. I don’t know how people do this blogging thing all on their lonesome, holding sole responsibility for living an interesting life, cooking and baking interesting things, and also posting about their shenanigans! I’m so thankful to be doing this with Chelsea so I can disappear for a week and you […]
Pumpkin Toffee Cheesecake
For us Canadians, Thanksgiving has come and gone and some of us are already in full Christmas mode. I may or may not be done my Christmas shopping already…it helps that I had all of one lovely lady on my list since we’re paring down this year, but I’m feeling accomplished nonetheless! I’m even more […]
Jumbo Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’m pulling into my bag of past tricks for today, folks. Those recipes I made who-knows-when-ago and saved for a day like this when I had excuses. Care to hear some? I made a pumpkin pie toffee cheesecake last night that smells and looks amazing, but it’s for a special brother-in-law/birthday boy and I don’t […]
