Have you noticed this jar trend gathering steam? Desserts, salads, granola, cookie mixes, lemonade, soup mixes…everything is so cute and organized in jars! You can bring your lunch to work in them, give gifts in them, and keep your dessert all to yourself in them. In keeping with this trend, I’m excited to be sharing […]
Bacon & Gouda Twice-Baked (or Slow Cooker) Potatoes
I consider myself a fairly confident person. I make decisions with minimal thought, and I don’t care a whole lot what other people think of those decisions as long as I’m comfortable with them. I wear whatever I like, I eat what I feel like, and I go out without doing my hair. But let […]
Mom’s Beef Bourguignon
Today I’m excited to début another new feature on the blog – in addition to Erin’s fashion expertise, my sweet Mom has agreed to come on board and contribute some of her amazing recipes! Hi Mom!! Really, I’ve been stealing and sharing her recipes the whole two years I’ve been blogging, so it only seems right you […]
Monday Moments
It’s the beginning of another month! No April Fool’s tricks here, except if you came looking for an accomplished First on the First challenge – no such luck! The challenge this month was banana pudding but that is something I grew up so totally averse to, as I was to any banana-flavoured “desserts”, so I […]
Greek-Style Shrimp Scampi with Linguine
Follow my blog with Bloglovin …Good-bye Google Reader, let’s give something new a try :) So, how do people feel about shrimp? Shrimp is definitely a food that’s grown on me, from something I didn’t think I liked at all, to something I could tolerate when really hungry, to something I now actually crave at […]
Monday Moments
While Theo and his siblings continue to be completely enamoured with each other, I’m definitely seeing the not-too-distant future where the little guy becomes a source of frustration to his brother and sister. He can only roll one direction so far, but that doesn’t stop him from inching his way around the entire room, looking for a […]
FASHION FRIDAY: A Treasure Hunt and Sequins!
Today I am SO excited to debut a new feature on the blog!! We’ve been wanting to incorporate fashion in some regular way since the beginning of Hidden Ponies, and now I am so excited to announce that it’s actually happening, and not just in stories about people forgetting their pants. I’m thrilled today to […]
Kid-Friendly Meatloaf
The things we do for our kids, right? This recipe was inspired when Gemma and I were looking through the Better Homes and Gardens New Junior Cookbook that we had taken out of the library, wondering which recipe to try together. I must confess to never having made meatloaf in close to 7 years of married life. […]
Teriyaki Chicken Stirfry {with Homemade Teriyaki Sauce}
Homemade teriyaki sauce isn’t something I ever really thought I’d be making, or recommending other people make. There are plenty of flavourful bottles of teriyaki sauce available at your local supermarket, I feel quite sure. But one day when I planned on teriyaki sauce in my dinner and found myself out, my mom pointed me […]
Peppery Chicken Quinoa {Cookbook Feature}
I am at heart a learner. I love the fact that it really is possible to learn something new everyday. Of course, with 3 preschoolers around, many a day goes by where the only kind of information I learn is that the words to the song are NOT “found me another one, prettier too, skip […]
