Commercials make me laugh. I know people are all about the PVR and pre-recorded whatevers, but really, there is a lot of quality entertainment being missed out on. I saw one that actually made me laugh out loud the other night for deodorant that went like this: “In your busy day, the LAST thing you […]
Apple, Bacon & Cheese Omelettes
I hate it when someone asks if I want to go out for breakfast. I usually DO want to go out with the person who asks me, but I feel like it comes with a requirement that I order breakfast. I am that person who makes the waitress roll her eyes when I order a […]
Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins with Streusel Topping
My rhubarb plant surprised me this year. A chunk broken off my sister-in-law’s “weed” after it had met the garbage can last year, transferred from said garbage can to a bucket on my front step to (several days later) my actual garden, then transplanted this year when the garden was re-vamped, this is one hardy […]
Saturday Sweets: Chocolate Raspberry Scones
While these scones are definitely a sweet Saturday sweet, they are also most assuredly a breakfast food. In my world, breakfast should include some sweetness. Chocolate and raspberry is not only one of the best natural combinations in the flavour world, it’s also one of the most beautiful. Some foods are just so gorgeous in […]
Carrot & Beet Muffins
Since I’m on holidays and you might not be, I thought I should share some great, healthy muffins with you to make up for it. Muffins are the best way to make veggies part of your breakfast routine without having to drink grass. I’m sorry, very-full-green-smoothie-bandwagon, I am not jumping aboard. Smoothies should be pink. Muffin […]
Saturday Sweets: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
I feel like peanut butter and banana is a combination that is only acceptable to people who grew up eating it. Has anyone taken up eating peanut butter and banana sandwiches in adulthood? I’m still working on Carl – he makes disgusted faces every time he sees me eating a peanut butter and banana sandwich […]
Apple Pie Muffins
Well, you all know how I feel about muffins. And how much stronger those feelings are when there’s a streusel topping involved. Mom hit the nail on the head here. I definitely ate a lot of these growing up, and just look how I turned out! ;) Thanks for another great post, Mom! **************************************************** It […]
Orange Sunshine Loaf
This is probably the best loaf I have ever had. Period. I don’t make loaves very often, besides a zucchini loaf I absolutely love. I find I can never get through them before they dry out, since Carl has some kind of aversion to anything called a “loaf”. Put the same ingredients in muffin or […]
Best Ever Banana Muffins
It’s been too long since I posted a muffin recipe! I have been on a muffin making BINGE, and, having made every single muffin recipe known to man (ie. every muffin recipe on this blog), I then realized my mom had included a recipe in our family cookbook entitled “Best Ever Banana Muffins” which I […]
Strawberry Chocolate Muffins
When I think of Valentine’s Day, the first thing that comes to my mind is chocolate-dipped strawberries. I am not one for romance, as my poor husband can attest – I am as likely to make gagging noises and roll my eyes as I am to feel frisky when he pulls out a good line […]
