Well, I think we’re officially ready for baby to make its appearance as finally, wonder of wonders, last night we settled on baby names we agree on. It’s nowhere near what I thought we’d choose for a boy, I’m not entirely convinced it goes with our current names, but with only 9 days till due […]
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Squares
We’re in trauma mode over here after family visiting from Australia had to go back to said land down under. My kids got deeply attached to these “new” cousins, and, while I wisely distracted them with fun visits to other cousins immediately following the departure, I neglected to anticipate the sadness that comes with the […]
Zucchini Muffins
You can find zucchini in just about everything right now, from cookies and cakes to lasagnas and salads. While I applaud the use of zucchini in just about everything, the most important recipes are still the classics. I don’t care how good a spiralized pickled dehydrated quinoa zucchini salad you can make and call it […]
Strawberry Oat Bars (with Strawberry Chia Jam)
While I’m still just as obsessed with chocolate as ever, I’m eating berries in at least equal amounts while the gettin’s good. But fresh berries don’t last forever, and sometimes you need to use a bunch quickly or risk crossing that fine line between sooooo juicy and sweet and ewwww gross my finger just went […]
Mom’s Recipes: Strawberry Galette
Carl and Gemma are road-tripping to Saskatoon this weekend and it’s weiiiird having my little girl so far away! But the boys and I are making the best of it by remembering how great it is not to be driving for 16 hours, and by enjoying super easy meals, movies for hot afternoons, and naps […]
Double Chocolate Skillet Cookie
Skillet cookies have more than one use around here. Not only do they satisfy any major sweet craving handily, they are also cooked in my cast iron skillet, which apparently can help with iron intake. Dark chocolate also happens to be high in iron, so this extra-chocolately jumbo cookie is really a health investment. My […]
Mom’s Recipes: Rhubarb Tart
Fresh rhubarb doesn’t last nearly long enough, so let’s make the best of it while it’s here! While my rhubarb plant is busy recovering from being a re-located weed, and I can sense rhubarb blitzes in my future, it’s a couple weeks away for me. Thankfully, Mom is here with another fabulous rhubarb recipe for a […]
Mom’s Recipes: Rhubarb Almond Crumble Bars
I’ve made no secret of my undying love for rhubarb, and I come by it honestly – my mom’s here today with a guest post and a fabulous recipe for rhubarb bars! She’s editing my papers and backing me up with guest posts when I seem to have slightly over-stretched myself…and her rhubarb bars won’t […]
Raspberry Chia Bran Muffins
You just never know what random things will have a major impact on your life, something you never saw coming, something that makes each and every day a little better. My sister swears by bra fittings and eyebrow threading: I add to the list good socks. Good socks, my friends, are something I never had until […]
Lemon Rhubarb Coffee Cake
Yeeeee-awn. I’ve been trying to get up extra early every day for some quiet devotion and alone time, and, while the sun makes it easier, it still isn’t easy for someone who loves their bed as much as I do. I don’t drink coffee, so coffee cake is like my coffee – a morning pick-me-up accompanied perfectly […]
