TwitterWell, it was only a matter of time. Having a baby, for me, is the ultimate in weightloss, as I don’t have crazy pregnancy cravings and have the miraculous transformation of all my lower body weight migrating up to help my baby belly grow. Obviously, this time of life with pleasantly rearranged weight distribution cannot […]
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.

Saturday Sweets: Almond Fudge-Topped Shortbread
I love fudge and I love shortbread. Putting the two together can only be a good thing! Although based on yesterday’s experiences sweets are the last thing I should be eating…recap of fitness level revelations to follow on a later date. Let’s just say I have the lung capacity of an 80-year-old smoker, and things […]
Curious Gemma
Lately Gemma has been a rotating cast of characters from TV shows and movies she watches and I am constantly reminded just how impressionable her little mind is. Usually it is funny and cute as she imitates a variety of people and talking animals, and I am a complementary character decided by her, but yesterday […]
Fresh Fish
There are few foods better than fresh, grilled fish. Just look at that beautiful wild salmon. My walls are kind of this colour; it’s one of my favourites. I like the flavour of the fish to shine, so I just add some lemon slices, a couple cloves of garlic to roast nearby and give a […]
Beach beauty
Well, with summer approaching my thoughts turn once again to the same things it turns every year. Iced tea and lemonade, watermelon and cherries, grilled food of all sorts, how to keep sand out of my house with beach volleyball season in full swing, and the colour (or lack thereof) of my skin. As many […]
Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos
This is definitely one of our family’s all-time favourite meals. It’s one of the few recipes in my regular rotation and is one of my go-to recipes when I want to help someone out with a meal for their freezer! The recipe doubles easily, and you can cook the taquitos from frozen in 15-20 minutes. […]
Are you wearing pants? Don’t be so sure…
Many thanks to Chelsea, via Char, for bringing this hilariously helpful chart to my attention! This should clear up any questions you may have had :)
Good-bye Oprah…see you in the next election
Well, the end of the Oprah show is the end of an era of sorts. For me, Oprah was never really anything more than a channel to turn to while Ellen was in commercials. I couldn’t even commit to the whole finale show yesterday with the adorable and amazingly well-spoken Justin Bieber dominating the Ellen […]
Sometimes I love being a forgetful procrastinator
For the most part being forgetful is frustrating and potentially awkward. Some such times: -when writing an exam -when telling people your children’s names -when at the grocery store trying to remember ingredients necessary for dinner […]
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan
My Elder Sister recommended this book to me ages ago, and I’ve had it out of the library before and had to return it before reading it, so this time when the due date (tomorrow) rolled around and I had yet to pick it up till yesterday, I was determined to get ‘er done. This […]
