It’s Saturday, but we’re not talking sweets today – if you need a sweet fix, check out the recent Chocolate Pomegranate Bark or less recent Forget Me Cookies – both are close to my sweet-loving heart :) Today’s savoury recipe is a part of the Canadian Food Experience Project, a movement spearheaded by the most […]
Mom’s Classic Pea Soup with Ham
Since I’m currently up to my eyeballs in sick children, homework, housework, and fall-welcoming interpretive dances, my lovely Mom is here again with one of the classics – pea soup! This stuff is thick, green, fragrant, and absolutely soul warming. I happen to have a ham bone in the freezer to be made into exactly […]
Taco Taquitos
Ooops. Somehow I wrote about these taco taquitos a couple months ago and then forgot to hit “publish” and alas, there they have sat, lost in drafts, until their recent rediscovery! Maybe I should go through that folder more often…there are some other gems hovering in there waiting for their moment to shine. :) Well, […]
Ginger Soy Chicken Stirfry
My kids are all about rhyming. We spend a good part of many days taking turns shouting out rhyming words, and I can rhyme like it’s my job, but lately they’re upping the ante. In the car we seem to get especially good ones, which is turning into a great opportunity to dramatically increase their […]
Fish Tacos with Avocado Mango Salsa
Kristopher is known around here for his loud voice. He is pretty uncomfortable and quiet in public groups, so few people know he is the king of dramatics, both of excitement and distress, and the only “quiet” volume he possesses is a loud whisper when I absolutely insist he stops yelling about WANTING JUICE. We’ve […]
Nick’s Seafood Stromboli
So you know how Chelsea used to post pretty often on this here blog? (She’s a busy lady these days, but I’m convinced we’ll see her back one day :)). And then my sister Sarah shared her amazing photography skills for a few delicious posts, and even her bun recipe for one post. And then my sister […]
Mom’s Beef Bourguignon
Today I’m excited to début another new feature on the blog – in addition to Erin’s fashion expertise, my sweet Mom has agreed to come on board and contribute some of her amazing recipes! Hi Mom!! Really, I’ve been stealing and sharing her recipes the whole two years I’ve been blogging, so it only seems right you […]

Mom’s Classic Lasagna
Fall and winter are all about comfort food. And what’s more comforting than your favourite recipes from growing up? This lasagna is probably the food I remember eating most often growing up, and one of the only things I knew how to make when I moved out: meat, noodles, cheese, noodles, meat. I will never […]
First on the First: Empanadas
I have the fever. It’s true. Now that the family is finally over the kind that makes you feel hot, then cold, then hotcold then HOOOOT then coldhotcold (ugh), we can focus on the very good kind. The Olympic kind!! I don’t know what it is about the Olympics. Maybe I secretly love seeing fit […]
