We’ve been watching some classic Dr. Seuss shows around here lately thanks to the library, and one of our favourites is “Horton hatches an egg”, in which sweet Horton the elephant is roped in by an eyelash-batting mama bird to sitting on her egg so she can vacation and live it up. I think, whether […]
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.

Rosemary Garlic Roasted Beets
I’ve been meaning to try roasted beets for aaaages, but Carl was dragging his feet as he sometimes does in the new-veggie department so I put it off and tried to convince him to put them in his smoothies instead, which also ended unsuccessfully. I wasn’t willing to give up, though, because they are a […]
Book review schmozzle
Well, I’ve been reading, as per usual, and even more than usual, since it’s summer and in my mind summer is reading time…goes right along with holidays, and if I’m not going on holidays I should read extra to feel like I am, right? Some of the books I’ve read in the last couple weeks […]
Flourless Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
Well, I told you I would make some more cookies, and I never tell a lie. I was momentarily diverted from cookies while we made our first beach trip of the season this week! K-fer got his first mouthful of gravelly sand, and badly wanted to go back for more…I’m still not sure I’m […]
It’s not even Thursday
Thursday is my go-to procrastination day. I wake up on Thursday’s KNOWING nothing will get done, and even if I think of a million things to do that day, I just don’t do any of them. Why not? To me, house cleaning is one of those things that should be done thoroughly once a week, […]
The circle of life
Quite the week…I got a brand new baby niece, and lost my Grandpa. Thanks be to God for making both the entry and the exit smooth, and for letting Grandpa live long enough to know Him and die in peace.
Magic Chocolate Toffee Squares
There really is magic in these magic squares, my friends. Sweetened condensed milk = magic. I have yet to find a recipe with sweetened condensed milk involved that I didn’t love. There is just something about that sticky-sweet liquid that makes everything else taste just that much better, and these squares are no exception (not […]
The Wheaties Box Story
One time Carl was on a Wheaties box. I think this is hilarious. Look at that cereal box. Breakfast of champions, that’s what I’m talkin’ about. Good story, right? It gets better. He didn’t KNOW he was on a Wheaties box. You’d think they need permission for this type of thing, but nope. If you’re […]
Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad
With hot summer weather comes cool summer suppers, and this salad is one of our all-time favourites! I’ve been making this recipe for awhile after having something similar in Mitch Miller’s restaurant in Abbotsford. I ordered a chicken caesar salad and there were NOODLES in it! Now, if you know my feelings about pasta you […]
Picnic!
Gemma loves to eat outside (as long as no bugs are in sight), but so far this year it’s been mostly too cold or too hot so a breezy warm day was just what we needed! There’s something about the excitement of being outside that means she will eat pretty much anything I put […]
