I’m not one to get easily annoyed. Most things roll off me pretty easily, and I consider myself fairly patient. As a parent, for instance, I can handle whining, complaining, puking, sniffing, questioning and crying without batting an eye or letting my blood pressure rise. But the second you introduce a cough? I become downright murderous. One of […]
Peach Cobbler Scones
Little known fact: Carl and I dream of one day owning a fabulous Bed & Breakfast. We’ve stayed at a only a couple of B & B’s in our lives so far, but we love the friendly atmosphere, the great locations, and, obviously, the delicious breakfasts. I don’t eat heavy breakfasts but I would definitely […]
Double Chocolate Waffles
Carl bought “me” a waffle maker for Mother’s Day this year and, while I’ve yet to actually make waffles, I have had some pretty amazing waffles since. I’ve never been a fan of waffles, but I’d also never had homemade waffles – the difference is like that between store-bought Wonderbread and fresh homemade bread: incomparable. […]
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 […]
Whole Wheat Lemon Raspberry Muffins

I know, it’s a random subject, but with summer around the corner I have already had to deal with several interesting conversations in my job at a paint store. Take yesterday, for […]
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, […]
Buttery Pasta Skillet Bake
I am so happy to have my laptop up and running again! I thought it was beyond repair, but after 2 weeks of despair Carl finally took pity on me and opened it up, which means he found the giant hairball that was clogging the fan and causing the computer to shut itself down every […]
Quick Crustless Quiche
Quick Crustless Quiche. Say that 5 times fast. Fun, right?! So let’s talk about Breakfast for Dinner. I am not a big breakfast person, so, while I have to eat breakfast to avoid a massive crazy mood swing by 9:00, I tend to stick to a muffin or scone, or a smoothie…something light, reasonably nutritious, […]
