I don’t suppose I can say I’m known for my healthy recipes. Really though, we believe in everything in moderation, which means all the sweets and treats you see here are eaten in small quantities and shared liberally. And they are balanced with (mostly) healthy meals and fillers. But these muffins are an extra step […]
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.

Chocolate Almond Squares
At first I wasn’t going to share this recipe with you. I made them expecting a chocolate-almondy coating with a shortbread-type crust similar to the one on my Almond Fudge Topped Shortbread and Chocolate Toffee Bars. So the cake-like crust on these caught me off guard and I immediately decided it wasn’t my favourite recipe. […]
C is for Cookie, that’s good enough for me
We really love cookies around here. For example, you should probably make Milk Chocolate Chewies or Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies this afternoon. At the latest. I never get tired of trying new things when it comes to cookies. And I never get tired of eating cookies. And today happens to be my 27th birthday, […]
Sport skills are life skills
I’m no athlete, and have very little semblance of coordination or team camaraderie. My husband showed me these commercials since they made him think of me…should I be offended? :) [youtube id=”bARkhWUF8MI” width=”620″ height=”360″] [youtube id=”8huLjOxp8SY” width=”620″ height=”360″] [youtube id=”3glvheORpQo” width=”620″ height=”360″]
Mini Pumpkin Ginger Donut Muffins
I made these awhile back and have been meaning to tell you about them in case you had pumpkin languishing in your fridge looking for an outlet, but it’s taken me so long to post them you’ve probably used it all by now and will have to open a new can and start the whole […]
What a sham: DIY Pillow Covers
Friday! So much less exciting when you are a parent than when you are a teenager! Unless you have recovered all your throw pillows! In which case, exciting! I love throw cushions. I know they are a little silly, don’t get used a whole lot, and spend a fair bit of time on the floor, […]
No Bake Chocolate Oat Delights
Do you ever get so caught up in making new recipes that you forget about old ones? I am definitely guilty of that, so every now and then I like to go through my trusty, food-splattered family cookbook and find a recipe from my childhood that I haven’t made lately, despite always loving it. These […]
Furniture Refinish: Coffee Table
Have you noticed how all our Friday posts have catchy titles with “Friday” in them, but absolutely NO consistency? Fashion Friday, Freaky Friday, Furniture Friday…wait, are you seeing consistency yet? You got it, we’re throwing out f-words like nobody’s business ;) Anyway, I feel I’ve mentioned my new house in passing a few times without […]
Pumpkin Spice Scones with Cinnamon Glaze
Like most of the blogging world, I’m on a major pumpkin kick. Fresh fall days are here, along with changing leaves and crisper temperatures. Combine that with the fact that I finally kind of know where I put things in my kitchen in the mad frenzy of unpacking, and I am back in the […]
Do you know the muffin man?
Do you know the muffin man? He lives on Mountain Drive. He is also secure enough in his masculinity to wear his sister’s old bibs while double-fisting. (These are the best zucchini muffins, if you’re wondering…good for muffin men and women alike :))
