Making an Entrance!

Making an Entrance!

It’s hot here. Not just a little bit hot, but a lot hot. So hot that I let little B drink out of any and everything she finds, and I don’t even tell her to sit like a lady while she does it :). But really, who can say no to this face? It’s the […]

Saturday Sweets: Peanutty Candy Bars

It was just going to be one of those unassuming days at Zellers, soon to be officially Target. I just needed a buggy to cart around little b and the spoils of what was going to be a large shopping trip. Turns out that their buggies need to swallow a loonie in order to be […]

Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

There are certain things people try to disguise as healthy. Like sometimes I’ve been convinced that pizza is healthy. It can have vegetables, meat, cheese, and bread. Sometimes it even has fruit (which I am opposed to, as a rule). So basically it has all the food groups in one meal, and could be eaten at any […]

First on the First: Empanadas

First on the First: Empanadas

I have the fever. It’s true. Now that the family is  finally over the kind that makes you feel hot, then cold, then hotcold then HOOOOT then coldhotcold (ugh), we can focus on the very good kind. The Olympic kind!! I don’t know what it is about the Olympics. Maybe I secretly love seeing fit […]

Homemade Peppermint Patties

Homemade Peppermint Patties

So, I’m going to be honest. This post makes me nervous. Not because of the recipe (pure deliciousness), but because the First on the First challenge this month was to make candy of any type. Anna assured me that these are, indeed candy, since they are enrobed in something (in this case, delicious chocolate), so […]

The Very Best Cinnamon Buns

The Very Best Cinnamon Buns

Crickee crickee, crickee crickee. What’s that? Ooooh right, that would be me, not blogging. (Well, to be clear, that was meant to be crickets, but who really has the art of writing a cricket sound down to an art? – No one – for real – I googled it.) It’s true. It has been a […]

Pumpkin Spice Muffins

Pumpkin Spice Muffins

Does anyone else have a problem choosing a mascara? I was once again reminded of my inability to choose which one to get when my latest tube ran out. I am a grown woman. I make decisions. I make choices. Some are big, some are small. But why, oh why, am I completely inept at […]

Saturday Sweets: Gluten Free Molten Lava Cakes

What if I told you that I have found a delicious cake recipe, that is gluten free, dairy free, and sugar free? Crazy, right? You’re probably thinking what I did. How can anything that is gluten free, dairy free and sugar free taste even close to delicious. C’est impossible. Madness. Wiggety Whack. Well, all you […]

Nutella Cookies

Nutella Cookies

I had a moment of self realization the other day. It came when I was preparing for out of town guests. When I was madly cleaning up in order to portray some semblance of order in my house, and I realize things. Things like, when all of my dishes are cleaned and put away, they […]

The Wisdom of Grandparents, and Spicy Chicken Soup

You know those moments where you look at your grandparents and you are really, truly, amazed by their wisdom, life experience, positive outlook on life, and are just pretty darn proud of being the offspring of a couple of pretty good eggs? Well, I love my grandparents, and have this feeling a lot. But never […]
