Have you met my new friend Meringue? I was a little skeptical at first, but, like many people, the things I sometimes end up liking the most are the ones that I have the most doubts about. While this does not bade well for my character judgment, not to mention books, movies, etc., I love […]
Pumpkin Toffee Cheesecake
For us Canadians, Thanksgiving has come and gone and some of us are already in full Christmas mode. I may or may not be done my Christmas shopping already…it helps that I had all of one lovely lady on my list since we’re paring down this year, but I’m feeling accomplished nonetheless! I’m even more […]
Plum Delicious
This morning, looking down at my pants that were on backwards, I realized I had started quite a tally since having a baby. You know those people who do great with little to no sleep? I am not one of them. My track record looks something like this: Number of times wearing my shirt inside-out […]
Gluten Free Cranberry & White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
Today was dentist day. Now, I don’t mean any disrespect to dentists, but they terrify me. I realized that it was high time I bite the bullet and go for my “regular” cleaning, so I called them up and I knew things were not going to end well when the conversation went something along the […]
Happy Thanksgiving! Apple pies all ’round.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all, Canadian or not! I hope you’re all having a fantastic long weekend with family and friends full of lots of good food. We have so much to be thankful for over here, even the rainy, gray weather that gives my kids the opportunity for some quality puddle time. We’re […]
Roasted Red Pepper and Sweet Potato Soup
Being an avid summer fan, I find it hard to get excited about the coming of fall. I can’t get enough of long sunny days, warm evenings sitting outside, and early morning sun peeking in the window so that early mornings don’t seem quite like such a chore. With that said, I do love the […]
Bacon and Scallop Fettuccine Alfredo
When I stopped eating wheat, pasta was one of the things that I missed the absolute most (besides scones), and I was more than thrilled when I found out that rice pasta, when cooked right, is just as delicious! If you are sensitive to wheat, or gluten intolerant, and haven’t tried rice pasta, then go […]
Cranberry Apple Upside-Down Muffins
You know those foods that are good at any time of the day? Like pizza… pasta… chocolate? These muffins are like that. So by that reasoning, these muffins are very high on my list of deliciousness… they are perfect for breakfast, lunch or snack, since they’re not too sweet for a meal, but not too […]
Saturday Sweets: Chocolate Soufflés
Happy Saturday! Welcome to the 99th post, the one before the much anticipated 100th post!! Oh boy, I can hardly wait :) Over here the sun is shining, the kids are finally healthy again, the airplanes are rattling the roof thanks to the nearby Airshow, and we’re about to get another look at our new […]
Saturday Sweets: Strawberry Chocolate Meringue Torte
Amazing news we thought would never happen – we officially gave up renting and bought a house! Well, technically that is largely untrue. My in-laws bought a house, really, but we put in our small share which finds us living in a rather palatially large share. Sounds fair, right? For the first time I […]
