You know those days where you want to eat a whole box of Oreos? In extra creamy, extra delicious form? Well, today is one of those lucky days! This trifle is nothing short of an Oreo lover’s dream, and is also super easy to put together! It’s a win-win in the Oreo world, that is […]
Happy Cookies
Who doesn’t want to eat happiness? I know I do. You may know these as peanut butter blossoms, kiss cookies, or any other number of names – they’re a popular cookie with many variations, including my mini egg ones for Easter. Growing up, one of my sisters dubbed these “happy cookies”, and the name stuck. In […]
Mom’s Classic Lasagna
Fall and winter are all about comfort food. And what’s more comforting than your favourite recipes from growing up? This lasagna is probably the food I remember eating most often growing up, and one of the only things I knew how to make when I moved out: meat, noodles, cheese, noodles, meat. I will never […]
Saturday Sweets: Cranberry Chocolate Oat Bars
Has it actually been a whole week since we chatted? Oh dear. I’ve been working hard though, much to Carl’s amusement when he comes home late at night to sights like these: “Look Mom, no hands!” But I miss blogging. And I wish I could blame the baby, but really, he sleeps. Liiiike…….that’s pretty much […]
Best Ever Carrot Cake
You know those foods that just taste like home? Living at home, (and being a gigantic fan of cream cheese icing, and eating my vegetables in cake) this cake was definitely one of my favourites growing up. Needless to say, when I came across this recipe after not eating it for at least 6 years, […]
Raspberry Sweet Rolls
Life has been pretty fabulous around here lately. I just got a brand new nephew- hellloooo Theo!! (In case you missed it, you can see the cutie patootie here! :)) He is adorable, and soft, and makes me feel somewhat like a giant holding a cotton ball when I snuggle him, and I already love […]
Oatmeal Quinoa Chocolate Chip Cookies with Cranberries
Could I have thought of any longer of a title? Maybe if I’d included the butter, eggs, and brown sugar? I was going to call them plain ol’ “Chocolate Chip Quinoa Cookies”, but given that the quinoa is a smaller portion and less of a texture contributor than the oats I couldn’t really leave out […]
First on the First: Dark Chocolate Soufflés
Confession: it’s First on the First time, when we try something new and scary in the kitchen, or something we’ve been putting off, or something we’ve just never done homemade, but this month’s challenge isn’t a first for me. Souffles are definitely the stuff of legend in my mind, but I’ve made these about half […]
Sarah’s Crescent Roll Buns
You know those people you read or hear about that you think you would kind of hate if you met in person? Those people who seem to do it all, and do it well, without a hair ever falling out of place? Those people who own two successful small businesses, work from home, have 3 […]
Mini Pumpkin Doughnut Muffins
Just when you thought you’d already had enough of pumpkin, I’m here to tell you there is more pumpkin be explored! More to be enjoyed! More to be baked! Maybe this year I’ll even attempt carving a pumpkin for the first time in my life? Also, ’tis the season for pumpkin patches! We ventured out […]
