Last night we had two university volleyball teams over for a barbecue, so I thought I should make things look presentable. In case someone should wander the halls, I pulled the bed together and threw on the accent pillows that so often lie unnoticed on the couch in our room. At bedtime, Carl pulled back […]
Homemade Churros
This month brings another first for me – deep-frying! I remember watching my mom deep-fry our annual oliebollen, a Dutch treat that must translate to something like “oily balls”, if my Dutch is any good :) Other than that yearly New Year’s treat, I have no experience with deep frying. I can’t say I was […]
Whole Wheat Pumpkin Banana Muffins
Sleep and sugar. I need more of one and less of the other, but I keep getting confused as to which is which. I also get confused by weird orange-coloured banana muffins. But I like them, and I think you will too. I have a lot of recipes that use 3 or more bananas, and […]
Saturday Sweets: Summer Berry Cake
Iiiiittt’ssssss BERRY SEASON!! While it’s juuuust around the corner here, the berries in the store are already starting to show massive signs of improvement, and I couldn’t be happier. I have big plans to stock up on berries and freeze enough until next season and make jam and all kinds of other delicious things, like […]
Monday Must-Haves
Happy Monday! It’s a holiday Monday ’round these parts, which means no work for me, and lots of time to bake and cook and craft! I have a bunch of recipes from last spring and summer calling my name, wanting to be made again, so I thought I’d give you a little run-down of some […]
Soft Homemade Pretzels
Pretzels!! I love bread. I love salt. I love salty bread. This was part of a blogging challenge, and ranked up there as something I’ve kinda thought about trying but probably never would have if there hadn’t been a deadline and expectations. This is why I love deadlines – all sorts of great things get […]
Saturday Sweets: Brown Butter & Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies never go out of style, and I’m glad. They will always be one of my favourite snacks, but I never thought I would share a recipe for any since everyone seems to pretty much have a go-to one that they love from somewhere or another. Who am I to tell you to […]
Easy Cheddar Chive Biscuits
When spring arrives and the flowers bloom, I am always thrilled to get a cool, rainy day. Call me crazy, but I hang onto fall and winter as long as I can – I love the coziness of being inside, the cooler temperatures when I’m outside, and the food, all the winter food! I just […]
Guest Post: Nutella Rice Krispie Squares
Guess what?? It’s my very first guest post! I was kind of nervous to spread my rambling self outside of my personal little internet zone, but I was so honoured when Kim asked me to guest post for her blog, Cravings of a Lunatic! You can find me over there today talking about these delicious […]
Easter Traditions: Poffert
Happy Saturday!! This recipe reminded me again of how wonderful it is to blog with my sister – while I was planning Easter picnics for the kids, making weird brown gingerbread eggs, and going to concerts, she was hard at work on Easter recipes. Since she gets to go away for the weekend with family, […]
