I like to show up late for parties, much to my husband’s eternal frustration. Partly I like to show up late because that eternal frustration can be a source of some amusement. When you’re a full foot shorter and 100 lbs lighter than your significant other you can’t really strike up a fair tickle fight, […]
Apple Rhubarb Crisp (Gluten Free)
Saturday! It’s my first official Saturday of always-working-Saturdays along with my other days since I’ve decided to buckle down and see if I can’t get my 600 hours in to qualify for maternity leave again…3 months to go, so as long as I can work till mid-October I should be fine! Who says no to […]
Peach Raspberry Crisp
Since I’m sure you’re all totally tired of hearing about my lovely time on holidays, I thought I’d tell you about a delicious recipe you should all make instead :) My mom made this family favourite for us to enjoy this week and was kind enough to let me photograph it before (and after) we […]
Saturday Sweets: GLUTEN FREE EDITION!
In honour of our sister’s wedding day, today’s Saturday Sweets are all about gluten free treats! Erin has been through a lot healthwise to date, with uncertainty remaining in her future, but her positive attitude, willingness to be flexible, and ability to think outside the traditional healthcare box all make her someone I absolutely admire […]
Saturday Sweets: “Forget-Me” Meringue Cookies
Happy Saturday, fellow sweet lovers! Sweet lovers. That’s us. Hell-ooooo, sweet lovers. Sorry, this was an awkward moment, so let’s move on to my lovely Aunt Shirley’s recipe. These are a crisp-crackly meringue in perfect gluten free cookie form, chock full of milk chocolate and pecans, totally different from my cookie norm, and a family […]
Roasted Cherry Chocolate Brownies (or Cake)
Have you noticed cherries are all the rage lately? If not, here’s the facts: They kinda are. So are brightly coloured pants. I hope? Because I have some and I love ’em. And you all know being all the rage is what I’m allll about. *jokes* Cherries are one fruit that only seems to be affordably […]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Skillet Cookie
Skillet cookies. Also known as the reason I bought a cast iron skillet. Also known as the reason I no longer fit a size zero skirt (that could also be because I’m not 17 anymore). Also known as how to win friends and influence people with only one dish and 30 minutes from “hey, we […]
Saturday Sweets: Chocolate Surprise Cupcakes
When it comes to cake and cupcakes, box mixes have spoiled a lot of things for me. They’re just so. darn. good. But I don’t want to use a box mix. I just want it to have that same light, fluffy, almost-dry, stick-to-the-back-of-your-throat crumb texture that stays fresh for days and doesn’t take over from any filling […]
Pumpkin Spice Breakfast Cakes
I know, it’s summer. But where I live in the Fraser Valley, you certainly wouldn’t know it to look outside. We’re in the middle of the coldest June on record, and rain is the norm. Quite honestly, I am heavily in favour of cool weather and a little dampness, so I’m not complaining. The weather […]
Saturday Sweets: S’mores Oat Bars
Yesterday I put on my skinny jeans and had a moment of realization. I am not skinny anymore. I wore them uncomfortably all day, but it’s officially time to retire that particular pants option until after this baby is born. And if I can’t wear the skinny jeans anyway, it’s really time to go crazy […]
