Yum yum yum. This was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, if I do say so myself. Better than my decision to wear heels grocery shopping. Better than my decision to wear yellow. Better than my decision, even, to buy jeggings. I threw together a variety of recipe ideas/measurements/ oven temperatures with […]
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.

I like morning people
I feel like there is a lot of disdain for people brave enough to announce they are a “morning person”. People sigh, roll their eyes and inform such people they’re crazy, then whisper behind their backs about how annoyingly perky these morning people are first thing in the morning while coworkers or spouses are still […]
Raspberry Lemon Layer Cake
Raspberry and lemon has to be one of the best combinations out there, and this cake is no exception. Every now and then I see something or think of something that I just know will be perfect and delicious and exactly what I feel like eating when the moment arrives to eat it. This […]
Milestones
About a week ago K-fer reached what is, in my mind, a pretty big milestone. I know crawling, walking and talking are some of the biggest, but I’d say this ranks in the top 5 along with those. He mastered fork skills! I’m a proud mama, and he’s a proud, adorable boy. Now, I know […]
Chewy Homemade Granola Bars
Granola bars that aren’t really all that healthy are one of my favourite things. In highschool I ate so many chocolate-covered granola bars that I started having a Pavlovian-type response to the end-of-day bell; it rang, I craved a chocolate granola bar. There is something so wonderfully sneaky about those chocolate-covered granola bars: because you […]
A day at the beach
I love White Rock, even if it is named after a giant, imported, painted rock. I am a fan of kitsch. Since it’s not the shortest jaunt from our house we don’t make the trip too often, so I take any opportunity/excuse to go there, which just so happened to happen twice in one week! […]
When life gives you lemons, make lemon bars
I thought we could all use a bit of a break from peanut butter (my overstock is finally depleting), and the freshness of lemon is the perfect antidote. These lemon bars are one of my husband’s favourite treats, and I don’t make them nearly often enough. Let’s focus on lemon freshness, and not the cleaning […]
Which dwarf would you be?
Is it politically correct to think about what kind of small person you would be? I saw a poster the other day for a dwarf who was new to me – “Gutsy”. I have no idea what the ad was for, so it wasn’t too effective, unless the goal was to get me thinking about […]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Can you believe it? Yet another peanut butter cookie recipe! You may recall my warning about the 2 kg tub of peanut butter needing to be used – sometimes I hyperbolize, but this wasn’t one of those times. My mom has been making these peanut butter cookies for as long as I can remember. They never fail […]
Nice Buns
I always have the best intentions of making my own bread and buns, but it pretty rarely turns into action. Not having a stand mixer is a good excuse, I figure, but not good enough, I know. There really is nothing like the sense of accomplishment when, 60 million hours after starting, you pull fresh […]
