Just when I least expected it, along came a book that has snapped me out of my kitchen funk. I have been just generally sick of making dinner evvvverrry day, for so many people with different tastes, and it has been reflected in uninspired, getting-by dinners thrown together in those crazy hours after school and […]
Saturday Sweets: Golden Coconut Macaroons
I only just shared a fabulous coconut macaroon recipe with you, so you might be a little surprised to see another coconut cookie so close on its heels. Well, I love those first macaroons intensely, but they do take some time, and they’re big, intense, special occasion dessert cookies. These little beauties, on the other […]
Saturday Sweets: Orange Carrot Popsicles {Cookbook Review}
Theo has reached that lovely stage where it is virtually impossible to get anything done while he’s awake and on the prowl, and he is in this wakeful, prowling state for the vast majority of the day. Yes, son, you can pull yourself to a standing position. That does not mean you SHOULD do so […]
First on the First: Pickled Roasted Red Peppers {Cookbook Review}
The challenge for this month’s First on the First event was pickles. But…I don’t like pickles. I don’t think I’ve ever had or seen or smelled pickled anything that appealed to me. Having said that, I’m pretty sure that puts me in the minority. So I’m thrilled to participate in a round-about kind of way […]
Pink Chantilly with Cranberries {Cookbook Review}
Have you noticed this jar trend gathering steam? Desserts, salads, granola, cookie mixes, lemonade, soup mixes…everything is so cute and organized in jars! You can bring your lunch to work in them, give gifts in them, and keep your dessert all to yourself in them. In keeping with this trend, I’m excited to be sharing […]
Peppery Chicken Quinoa {Cookbook Feature}
I am at heart a learner. I love the fact that it really is possible to learn something new everyday. Of course, with 3 preschoolers around, many a day goes by where the only kind of information I learn is that the words to the song are NOT “found me another one, prettier too, skip […]
Lemon Pound Cake with Mixed Berry Sauce {Cookbook Review}
Pound cake is a funny thing to me. Why would I deliberately make a cake that is dense, slightly dry, and literally weighs at least a pound?? I could probably just as easily find a brick to pour some berry sauce on, yes? But the funny thing is, there are a LOT of recipes that […]
Pink Lemonade Cupcakes {cookbook review}
Well, Gemma’s birthday has come and gone, and great fun was had by all! (This post is kinda huge, so settle in :)) This was the first birthday we celebrated in a big way and it’s given me a glimpse into my future of late nights hanging streamers and balloons, last minute trips to the […]
Cranberry Orange Crumble Squares {Cookbook Review}
You guuuuuuuuuuys. I cannot even tell you how excited I was when this cookbook arrived in the mail. First of all, free things! They make me silly happy. Second of all, beautiful free things! It’s been awhile since I had a new cookbook to drool over, and this one is beyond droolworthy. With stunning, colourful […]
