I am a slave to what you people want. You worry about all the sweets I eat: I join boot camp. You coo at pictures of babies: I make more babies. You ask for more savoury recipes: I deliver. And by “deliver“, I mean I ROCK ME SOME SAVOURY. Yup, I said it. I am […]
Grilled Summer Vegetable Platter
When summer hits and the smell of grills fills the neighbourhood, I am thankful I no longer live in an apartment with regulations that meant my barbecue sat dormant on the balcony for the whole two years we lived there. Summer is made for grilling, and these veggies are one of my favourite things about […]
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 […]
Spicy Quinoa Chili & Cornbread
Before we talk about how great quinoa is in chili (spoiler alert – it’s great), let’s talk about silly things kids do. Today, we had our first real “crayon meets wall” incident. To be more precise, crayons meets WALLS. Like, every wall. In every room. Every. Single. Room. Pink crayon in a continuous trail across […]
Saturday Sweets: Meringue Nests
Happy Saturday! Thank you all so much for your book recommendations on my Book Review post – I can’t wait to read so many of them, and I was also thrilled to learn I’m not the only crazy who reads cookbooks for relaxing entertainment! The winner of the free book is… #13 – Arenda Congratulations […]
Oven Hot Pizza Dip
Sometimes you just need a good quick, hot, dip. Before you get any wrong ideas, that picture should clear things up. Hot Pizza Dip, hooray! Chelsea’s away gallivanting in the snow this week, so while she enjoys some well-earned R & R you all get stuck with all me, all the time! Ha. :) But […]
Hearty Minestrone Soup
On a cold, gray, rainy or snowy day, nothing beats a good bowl of soup. If you’re feeling sniffly, achy, and generally unwell, nothing beats a good bowl of soup. When you are a poor student/waitress at the Old Spaghetti Factory and get unlimited free soup, nothing beats a good bowl of soup. There is […]
Ham & Lentil Soup
I hope you all had a great Christmas dinner or three! I am still beyond full from the two I enjoyed, neither of which I had to prepare, although I did make large quantities of these potatoes, Chocolate Ecstasy, and Pumpkin Toffee Cheesecake. Now the leftovers sitting in my fridge make me sad I don’t […]
Mmmmaking mmmmarvelous mmmmmorning mmmuffins
It’s true. I don’t know what to call these muffins. Besides delicious, that is! Sorry, that was awful, even for me. But truth be told, there is so much goodness in them, that there is no suitable name. However, I’m pretty sure if you ever come back to our site and want to find back […]
Classic Chicken Noodle Soup
If you know my family at all, you’ll know that soup is a big deal. We. Love. Soup. I am quite sure I am not the only one of my sisters who would quite willingly eat soup multiple times per day. We also use soup to describe things. When I lived at home, we had […]
