The other night, we had just gone to bed when the cat discovered one of his jingly ball toys. He loves those silly little things intensely, and was soon chasing it happily around the house, crashing into various walls and pieces of furniture while the ball jingled merrily away. He has a bad habit of […]
#BeEggsquisite: Gingerbread Sweet Potato Muffins
This holiday season, I have a total obsession with gingerbread. I can’t stop. Won’t stop. I’m craving gingerbread like nobody’s business, making gingerbread treats, and watching them disappear to mere crumbs at the corners of my mouth before anyone else in the family has time to realize I baked something. Taking this compulsive consumption into account, gingerbread […]
Mom’s Recipes: Tomato and Feta Baked Eggs
It’s been almost a year since I was getting ready to move in with my parents for a few months. Despite missing Carl and being pretty nauseously newly pregnant, those were really good months, and the kids still regularly ask when we can go visit for “12 years” (12 weeks) again. Recipes like this are […]
One-Dish Oven-Baked Apple Crumble Pancake
When we were first married, I got up at 5:30 in the morning to get to work on time and was usually napping by 4 pm, while Carl rolled out of bed around 8:00 to head to classes at university, and then was busy till at least 11:00 at night, so we didn’t see a whole […]
Mom’s Recipes: Almond Ginger Granola
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 […]
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 […]
Almond Peach Crumble Muffins
We got keys today!! It’s 7:22am and Carl is already hard at work on our new-to-us house, eager to rip out carpets, tile, drywall, laminate and who knows what else. That means in the very near future (tomorrow?) I get to do one of my favourite things in the whole wide world – pick paint […]
Cranberry Apple Upside-Down Muffins
You know those foods that are good at any time of the day? Like pizza… pasta… chocolate? These muffins are like that. So by that reasoning, these muffins are very high on my list of deliciousness… they are perfect for breakfast, lunch or snack, since they’re not too sweet for a meal, but not too […]
Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins
Well, early on in my blogging, which wasn’t really that long ago so I’m not feeling too bad about how long it’s been, someone asked me about a good Raspberry Yogurt muffin recipe (Hi Alanna!). Maybe you already found one, but it has been in the back of my mind and, while this recipe […]
