Happy day-after Canada Day! Anyone do anything exciting? My Mom is on a successful-new-recipe tear, and I’m thrilled to have some variety to add to the blog with another post from her today (not to mention several in the wings)! My family devours plain granola, and this fancied-up version sounds perfect for a special occasion […]
Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Scones
It’s been too long since we talked breakfast recipes! Not that long, you say? A week is long when we don’t talk breakfast, my friends. Breakfast isn’t called the fuel of champions for nothing. Actually, I made that up, it’s not even called that. But champions do eat breakfast, and that’s a fact. Some champions […]
Pumpkin Almond Granola
Remember in November when you wanted to gag at the sight of yet another pumpkin recipe? Yeah, me too. I got into pumpkin late this year because I was just so sick of all the pumpkin featured in every possible baked or cooked good. I made my tried and true pumpkin recipes but revolted on […]
Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal
Guys, I feel like you’ve been holding out on me. Why has no one been shoving baked oatmeal recipes into my hands, insisting I add it to my breakfast routine regardless of childhood oatmeal trauma? Baked oatmeal is the bomb, and that’s not something I say, like….ever. I love the endless possible flavour variations once […]
Whole Wheat Raspberry Waffles
Remember last year Carl bought me a waffle maker for Mother’s Day? It may be the best gift I’ve ever received, because, thanks to it, I’ve eaten many a delicious waffle but still don’t even know how to operate the thing. Carl took on full waffle-making responsibility when he brought home the waffle maker and […]
Cinnamon Roll Muffins
I’m not sure I know anyone who would turn down a fresh cinnamon roll. However, I know plenty of people who, like me, pretty much never GET a fresh cinnamon roll because ugh, yeast. Yeast is an amazing beast and I stand in awe of it’s leavening power and the unique smell and flavour it […]
Mini Banana Muffins with White Chocolate Chips
Commercials make me laugh. I know people are all about the PVR and pre-recorded whatevers, but really, there is a lot of quality entertainment being missed out on. I saw one that actually made me laugh out loud the other night for deodorant that went like this: “In your busy day, the LAST thing you […]
Apple, Bacon & Cheese Omelettes
I hate it when someone asks if I want to go out for breakfast. I usually DO want to go out with the person who asks me, but I feel like it comes with a requirement that I order breakfast. I am that person who makes the waitress roll her eyes when I order a […]
Carrot & Beet Muffins
Since I’m on holidays and you might not be, I thought I should share some great, healthy muffins with you to make up for it. Muffins are the best way to make veggies part of your breakfast routine without having to drink grass. I’m sorry, very-full-green-smoothie-bandwagon, I am not jumping aboard. Smoothies should be pink. Muffin […]
Apple Pie Muffins
Well, you all know how I feel about muffins. And how much stronger those feelings are when there’s a streusel topping involved. Mom hit the nail on the head here. I definitely ate a lot of these growing up, and just look how I turned out! ;) Thanks for another great post, Mom! **************************************************** It […]
Herb & Garlic Cheese Scones
I’m talking about scones again. Sweet scones, savoury scones, plain scones – I love ’em all. So I talk about them. I hope someone out there cares about scones as much as I do (besides you, Mom, I know you understand :)) I went on a major scone kick awhile back and I’ve been waiting […]
Lemon Cranberry Scones
Happy January Saturday! Has anyone managed to stay healthy this winter? We’re battling our first major round of the winter (hopefully also the last major round!) and it’s reminding me how often I take good health for granted, when there are really few things I’m more thankful for. Despite fevers and throats swollen shut, we […]
