Sometimes it seems like it’ll be really easy to get what you want, until you actually try. When we moved into our new house, we knew that we wanted chairs for a small seating area in our kitchen/family room area. There isn’t a lot of space, so I don’t want anything huge, just a couple armchairs. […]
Peanut Butter Date Snacking Bars
Self-checkouts are all the rage these days in grocery stores near me, and I always wonder how they manage to prevent major loss this way since it is would be so easy to bag two things at once, or just skip the bagging process altogether and walk on out with your belongings. The attendants never […]
Mom’s Recipes: Almond Ginger Granola
Happy day-after Canada Day! Anyone do anything exciting? My Mom is on a successful-new-recipe tear, and I’m thrilled to have some variety to add to the blog with another post from her today (not to mention several in the wings)! My family devours plain granola, and this fancied-up version sounds perfect for a special occasion […]
Saturday Sweets: Good Grains Fruit & Oat Cookies
I’m feeling a huge sense of relief today. Yesterday I handed in a 13-page paper and officially finished my last assignment besides a final exam for my Political Psychology course. It’s funny given how much I love school how relieved I always am at the end of a semester. Suddenly my evenings are looking so […]
Saturday Sweets: Chewy Homemade Granola Bars
I used to buy granola bars like they were going out of style. You know, the chocolate dipped ones stuffed with marshmallows, chocolate chips, and sprinkles? Those ones. Now I make granola bars like they’re going out of style. And I don’t dip them in chocolate, much as I’d sometimes like to. These aren’t a granola bar […]
Perfect Apple Crisp
Can we all agree that apple crisp is the bomb? I could eat apple crisp every. single. day. And this week I did. It was wonderful. You know what else I did? Graham crumbs in the topping. I told you, I’m obsessed. This is going down in history as the best apple crisp ever made, […]
Saturday Sweets: S’mores Oat Bars
Yesterday I put on my skinny jeans and had a moment of realization. I am not skinny anymore. I wore them uncomfortably all day, but it’s officially time to retire that particular pants option until after this baby is born. And if I can’t wear the skinny jeans anyway, it’s really time to go crazy […]
Whole Wheat Pumpkin Banana Muffins
Sleep and sugar. I need more of one and less of the other, but I keep getting confused as to which is which. I also get confused by weird orange-coloured banana muffins. But I like them, and I think you will too. I have a lot of recipes that use 3 or more bananas, and […]
Chewy Coconut Cashew Granola Bars
I have a thing for granola bars. In highschool, they were such a staple in my lunch that I think I got addicted. I started to crave them on days I didn’t have one, and they were a big part of my grocery budget as a newlywed. As I started making more and more things […]
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 […]
