I don’t surprise easily, but sometimes people surprise me. Sometimes the surprise might be big, like a last-minute, your-bags-are-packed-for-you vacation. Sometimes the surprise might be small, like someone remembering to turn on the bedside lamp for their wife who is afraid of the dark and of stubbing her toes. Sometimes the surprise might be medium, […]
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 […]
Whole Wheat Buns with Chia Seeds
I love homemade buns more than any sweet I could ever make. I know that’s saying a lot, but given the choice of fresh homemade bread or buns vs. baking I would choose the buns every time. There’s nothing that beats the smell of homemade bread baking, and nothing that beats a warm, fresh piece […]
Mexican Pasta Bake
It’s been brought to my attention lately that we need to post more legitimate meals around here. Apparently cookies and nanaimo bars do not qualify for everyone :) We’re more than happy to oblige, if someone would kindly extend the daylight hours! Taking pictures with an old point and shoot which doesn’t like to be […]
Orange Nanaimo Bars
Do you love Nanaimo bars? I do. I’ve seen many a good diets fall as helpless prey to a plate of nanaimo bars. You know what else I love? Orange chocolate. I search them out in the Pot of Gold boxes (I have to be faster than Anna), and I only really enjoy it around […]
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 […]
Thai Chicken Pizza
I can’t tell you how excited I am today. Why, you ask? Well, because I am sharing a delicious recipe with you, and more importantly, we are taking an extended weekend to visit family! Hooray! It has been over a month for all of them… and even longer for my lovely sister and co-blogger Anna […]
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 […]
What a sham: DIY Pillow Covers
Friday! So much less exciting when you are a parent than when you are a teenager! Unless you have recovered all your throw pillows! In which case, exciting! I love throw cushions. I know they are a little silly, don’t get used a whole lot, and spend a fair bit of time on the floor, […]
Chunky Monkey Banana Muffins
You know that thing that you buy every time you go to the grocery store? That one food that you are sure you will eat this week, even though it went bad before you got to it last week, and the week before? I have that with yogurt. I don’t know why, but I always […]
