Like most of the blogging world, I’m on a major pumpkin kick. Fresh fall days are here, along with changing leaves and crisper temperatures. Combine that with the fact that I finally kind of know where I put things in my kitchen in the mad frenzy of unpacking, and I am back in the […]
I Spied Her, or Me Versus Wild.
The other day I reached a new level of low. I was on my way to take a shower before heading out for the day, when I opened the shower door to discover a gigantic spider in the bottom of it. The kind of spider that would have to be divided into pieces in order […]
Do you know the muffin man?
Do you know the muffin man? He lives on Mountain Drive. He is also secure enough in his masculinity to wear his sister’s old bibs while double-fisting. (These are the best zucchini muffins, if you’re wondering…good for muffin men and women alike :))
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 […]
Dark Chocolate Mint Crackle Cookies
Is it really Saturday already? I’ve been pretty absent from the blog scene, but I can tell you I have a much cleaner house because of it, not to mention a gorgeous redone coffee table, 2 painted bookshelves, a painted chest of drawers, and a couple other items primed and waiting for attention. Here’s a […]
Sweet & Spicy Noodle Bowl
I love noodle bowls. I think I love them because they give the illusion of stir-fry without the problem of rice. I have a few problems with rice, not least of which is that I’m just not very good at making it. It remains the only food I cannot master after repeated tries, and it seems […]
Cookies ‘n’ Cream Cupcakes
Well, it’s officially been 11 days since my little man turned one. Photo credit: Charlene Stam Photography He hit this milestone amidst a total absence of fanfare, with a hastily-bought- morning-of-birthday gift and not even a blog post to his honour. I promised him (as if he cared) a real birthday cake and a more […]
Some DIY Inspiration
The other day, I was sent an email that, surprisingly, held a whole lot of inspiration for my crafty tendencies. I was so excited by this, and also reminded of my love of Pinterest, that I thought it would be fun to do a post of projects that are easy to do at home, and […]
Strawberry Basil Bruschetta
It’s mooooovvinnnng day!! And yesterday my sweet little boy turned one, but he’s getting a belated birthday cake so he’s also getting an accompanying late birthday post, stay tuned :) It doesn’t seem real at all that we’re moving today, despite the piles of boxes around me and the 2 hours spent yesterday scrubbing other […]
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 […]
