Eggnog is, as food inventions go, right up there with kale chips in the running for “worst idea ever”. I told you yesterday I’m not a fence-sitter; I have strong opinions, and this is one of them. There are few worse ideas than a nog made of eggs, and this is a creation no amount […]
Leftover Cranberry Sauce Oat Bars
LEFTOVERS. People seem to love ’em or hate ’em, and I love a good set of polarized camps! I am that person that just has to take a stance on an issue, whether I really feel strongly about it or not, because I feel very uncomfortable sitting on the fence. So here you have it: […]

Quick Homemade Sandwich Bread
Have you ever wanted to make your own bread and then changed your mind when you remembered you had to be around all day while it rose, rose, and rose again? And all that kneading, and flour on the counter, and then how quickly it will be devoured and it will be like you never […]
A Cherished Canadian Food Recipe: Best Ever Nanaimo Bars
I don’t make the “best ever” claim often, but as something of a Nanaimo bar fanatic, I have tried, and will continue to try, many a Nanaimo bar in many a place, and, call me biased, but I like mine the best. Ever. Ok, not MINE, per se, since actually my Mom developed this recipe to […]
Lemon Pound Cake with Mixed Berry Sauce {Cookbook Review}
Pound cake is a funny thing to me. Why would I deliberately make a cake that is dense, slightly dry, and literally weighs at least a pound?? I could probably just as easily find a brick to pour some berry sauce on, yes? But the funny thing is, there are a LOT of recipes that […]
Happy Cookies
Who doesn’t want to eat happiness? I know I do. You may know these as peanut butter blossoms, kiss cookies, or any other number of names – they’re a popular cookie with many variations, including my mini egg ones for Easter. Growing up, one of my sisters dubbed these “happy cookies”, and the name stuck. In […]
Saturday Sweets: Cranberry Chocolate Oat Bars
Has it actually been a whole week since we chatted? Oh dear. I’ve been working hard though, much to Carl’s amusement when he comes home late at night to sights like these: “Look Mom, no hands!” But I miss blogging. And I wish I could blame the baby, but really, he sleeps. Liiiike…….that’s pretty much […]
Best Ever Carrot Cake
You know those foods that just taste like home? Living at home, (and being a gigantic fan of cream cheese icing, and eating my vegetables in cake) this cake was definitely one of my favourites growing up. Needless to say, when I came across this recipe after not eating it for at least 6 years, […]
Raspberry Sweet Rolls
Life has been pretty fabulous around here lately. I just got a brand new nephew- hellloooo Theo!! (In case you missed it, you can see the cutie patootie here! :)) He is adorable, and soft, and makes me feel somewhat like a giant holding a cotton ball when I snuggle him, and I already love […]
