TwitterI would never have thought I would publicly declare my love for jeggings, but there it is. I love them. If you don’t have some, I strongly suggest you get some – no one I’ve talked into them has regretted it for a second. Comfy like sweats, cute like skinny jeans…I don’t care if they […]
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.

Black Forest Cake
Carl loves Black Forest Cake, so for his birthday I decided to attempt to make a homemade one. I think this is one of the easiest cakes in the world to make, and this way also happens to taste better than the store can do, if I do say so myself. I love cake […]
Teriyaki Beef on Lettuce & Quinoa
I love when I find recipes that are a little different from my usual and still delicious, and this definitely qualifies! My sister and I have been exchanging meal plans for just over a year now and it has definitely resulted in a huge stack of new “regulars” in my cooking schedule. One day when […]
Things I learned in school today
1) Monkeys have insight I think this is pretty interesting…not sure I’d call it insight, but that monkey is definitely doing some thinking! [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPz6uvIbWZE&w=480&h=390] 2) “Groupthink” is dangerous but can be funny 3) I always use the handicapped stall The handicapped bathroom stall is NOT, unlike handicapped parking spaces, only for handicapped people. I […]
Have I bitten off more than I can read?
I just finished this book for Book Club, about a murdered 14-year-old watching the goings-on on earth that follow her death, and it was interesting but I’m not lining up to see the movie, being less than a fan of movie-book adaptations in general: Now I have to read this beautiful beast by March 19, […]
Les Holidaies
Pardon my French. Since moving back to BC in August we’ve gotten to see much more of Brandon and Chelsea (well, anything would have been so much more since they *ahem* never came to visit us in Ottawa), but mostly it’s been because they’ve come to the coast and we’re lucky enough to be slotted […]
Aaaaaaand she’s back (with cookie dough cupcakes no less)
Whew, it’s been a busy week or so! Time really does fly when you’re having fun, and, as usual, that’s all I’ve been having. Being back to school for the first time in a couple years caught up to me a little bit as I just had to write my first midterm and first paper […]
Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats
I love this chocolate-y, peanut butter-y recipe because it is an easy one to pretend is healthy. Let me convince you. It has peanut butter, rice krispies, and peanuts. And wheat germ and/or oats and/or coconut. And if you use dark chocolate it’s good for your heart and your happiness. Really, all I had to […]
Twice Faked Potatoes
I always have trouble with twice-baked potatoes. Usually I am too impatient on the first bake, or decide too late in the day that I want to make them for supper, so I try to scoop potatoes out of shells that are either too hot to handle or not quite baked enough and still determined […]
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes
This past weekend we celebrated, in true large-family style, the birthdays of my oldest nephew on my side of the family (4 already!!) and my dear hubby (age top secret ;)). I love these family dinners with two of my four sisters, especially after a couple years living away from them, even if we do […]
