These are simply the best gingersnaps, because they’re classic, packed with flavour, and soft and chewy, but they don’t have cloves or nutmeg. Just ginger and cinnamon, two of the best spices known to cookies. If you like cloves and/or nutmeg, they can easily be added to this recipe (1/2 – 1 tsp of each) […]
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.

Freshness!
I don’t know why I didn’t do this sooner. After spending close to a month at my parents’ house last summer before moving back to BC, I got kind of used to having fresh herbs in my food. My mom has a flourishing herb garden and threw them in all our dinners with wild, delicious […]
Sisterhood of the non-travelling pants
This is a pretty exciting day for me, as my dear sister is moving back to the valley for the summer with her fabulous hubby and baby-to-be. This means I will have TWO of my fab four sisters in my immediate vicinity, one big sister and one little sister. Just a couple more to get […]
Nothing about that Vancouver hockey team
I think that men are funnier than women. It pains me to say this, but I think it is the truth. Now, I know some very funny women, and also make myself laugh on a pretty regular basis, but on a professional, public level I have to give men the edge. My theory is that […]
Happy (Easter) Cookies
Easter weekend! Easter is my favourite holiday, both for the Christian background and the totally unrelated candy choices that take over the grocery stores. Although, eggs = hatching = new life…so there is some logic I suppose? Cadbury Creme Eggs and Mini Eggs have to be my favourite Easter candies, along with “Mr. Munchy”, […]
Sittin’ pretty
K-fer’s learning to sit has led to great excitement and changes around here. First, Gemma finally seemed to notice that this fixture that had come into her life was actually another person, not just “the baby” or “Kiss-o-fer”, but someone with whom to play and someone who also wants to grab her toys or her […]
Zucchini Bread
Well, since my love of zucchini is well-established, I’ll just get right to it. This is a delicious zucchini bread I’ve been eating since I was barely walking, and even more delicious if you add a crumble topping of approx. 1 tbsp melted butter, 1/2 cup oats and 1/3 cup brown sugar…adjust to your taste, […]
I’ll show you scandalous.
This week I bought a box of Lucerne’s “Scandalous Cookie” ice cream. Buying ice cream is no easy task for me. I am not the biggest ice cream fan, but it is one of Carl’s evening staples, so I try to buy it once a month or so and when I do buy it I […]
Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins
I love zucchini. I’m just gonna put that out there and recommend that if you do NOT love zucchini, you not read the rest of this post, as I know some people have it in for harmless, delicious, not-that-nutritious zucchini, and I won’t have any of that attitude here. I kind of grew up on […]
Louvre me, louvre me not
I got a pedicure in my favorite colour ever. I didn’t know my favourite colour was called Louvre me, louvre me not. When I worked at the paint store for all those wonderful, fume-y years I wanted to be the person who named paint colours. Now I want to name nail polish colours. Goals change. […]
