Have you noticed cherries are all the rage lately? If not, here’s the facts: They kinda are. So are brightly coloured pants. I hope? Because I have some and I love ’em. And you all know being all the rage is what I’m allll about. *jokes* Cherries are one fruit that only seems to be affordably […]
BAKLAVA, baby
When I’m pregnant, I don’t grow leg hair. Apparently this is a sign of it being a boy on the way, and indeed, a boy is what I had last time around when I noticed this fantastic phenomenon, but I honestly can’t say if it was the case the first time around, when I had […]
Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble
Today I am shamelessly taking credit for something I did not make. My mom made this delicious dessert, over on the other side of the country from me, and when she told me about it, I naturally encouraged her to take a picture of two and send them my way. Food blogging 101: How to […]
Saturday Sweets: S’mores Oat Bars
Yesterday I put on my skinny jeans and had a moment of realization. I am not skinny anymore. I wore them uncomfortably all day, but it’s officially time to retire that particular pants option until after this baby is born. And if I can’t wear the skinny jeans anyway, it’s really time to go crazy […]
Saturday Sweets: Double Chocolate Zucchini Cake
Last night we had two university volleyball teams over for a barbecue, so I thought I should make things look presentable. In case someone should wander the halls, I pulled the bed together and threw on the accent pillows that so often lie unnoticed on the couch in our room. At bedtime, Carl pulled back […]
Saturday Sweets: Summer Berry Cake
Iiiiittt’ssssss BERRY SEASON!! While it’s juuuust around the corner here, the berries in the store are already starting to show massive signs of improvement, and I couldn’t be happier. I have big plans to stock up on berries and freeze enough until next season and make jam and all kinds of other delicious things, like […]
Saturday Sweets: Cadbury Creme Egg Brownies
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say something I’ve thought long and hard about. These are the best thing I’ve made so far this year. There you have it. Need I say more? Oh, you know I can’t resist :) First, I have a disclaimer: Carl did not think these were the […]
Saturday Sweets: Gluten Free Molten Lava Cakes
What if I told you that I have found a delicious cake recipe, that is gluten free, dairy free, and sugar free? Crazy, right? You’re probably thinking what I did. How can anything that is gluten free, dairy free and sugar free taste even close to delicious. C’est impossible. Madness. Wiggety Whack. Well, all you […]
Saturday Sweets: Apple Oat Bars
You’d think I’m unaware that spring is here. I’ve been on a comfort food kick for awhile now that shows no signs of bowing to the pressure of evening light, buds on trees, and grass in need of mowing. I am all about the soups, chilis, pastas, and turkey dinner these days. Not to mention […]
Saturday Sweets: Calico Squares
There are few things that make me crazier than hair in my dishwater. Tell me I’m not alone in this? I do not have a dishwasher at my disposal, and I actually don’t really mind doing the dishes, but, when there is a hair in the water, it gives me the heebies in the very […]
