Lately I feel like I’m caught in a massive round of catch-up where you never quite get caught up. I’m holding on to the knowledge that by next Saturday I’ll be done the necessary papers I need to do for school and the articles I need to write for a magazine, finished with the welcome […]
Dark Chocolate Merlot Skillet Cookie / Brownies
When someone pointed out that my beloved skillet cookie, in both its original and peanut butter forms, had the equivalent ingredients to a whole BATCH of cookies, rather than think, “EW, you’re right, that’s excessive”, I thought “Oooh, you’re right, what OTHER cookie recipes could be baked in this wonderful way?!” What other cookies do […]
Homemade Multigrain Bagels
Oh Philosophy. Why do you have to be sooo… sooo… well… philosophical?? I am constantly reminded of how I felt in high school math: frustrated, uninterested, and counting the hours till it’s all over. Yes, I am real, yes God exists just because I believe it’s true, and yes, I realize I am difficult to […]
Homemade French Bread/Baguette
Wanna know how I spent my Friday, so I can make excuses for why there were no Saturday sweets to be found and no First on the First bread pudding to read about today? I was making the following things and not taking a single picture (good thing I took some other days :)): 2 […]
Love me Chicken Tender
You know that thought you have when it’s summer time, and it’s beautiful outside, and someone offers you a plate of something sinfully delicious, and you have that nagging thought: “Oh dear, I’m probably going to get coerced into a bathing suit only minutes after I finish this”? Well, it’s officially time to welcome Fall!! […]
SATURDAY SWEETS: Pumpkin Chocolate Toffee Coffee Cake
Ok, I give in. All the pumpkin recipes circling the blogging world and covering Pinterest make my head spin…and make me very, very hungry. I’m not much of a bandwagon jumper, but this is definitely one of those times I am happy to follow the crowd – it’s a smart crowd. It’s time to break […]
Basic Homemade Granola
I used to be a honey-hater. Turns out I was buying the wrong honey, and getting the wrong impression from those horrid yellow and black fuzzy jackets. Don’t judge a book by it’s fashion, I suppose. Something like that. When you’re incubating a small one and want it to come out with all the appropriate […]
Saturday Sweets: Lightning McQueen Car Cupcakes
Thanks so much for following along with muffin week!! To top it off we have an extra special kind of muffin – THE CUPCAKE. I love birthday cake and cupcakes, and it is one of the few scents and flavours I crave when pregnant, so I was thrilled to have an opportunity to make (and eat) some! […]
Orange Chocolate Muffins
You know those times when you truly wonder why we do the things that we do? I had one of those this morning. I was attempting to pull a load out of the dryer, and put a new one in, with the help/hindrance of b’s little exploring hands, so eventually I grabbed the big ball […]
First on the First: Cantaloupe Peach Soup with Blackberry Drizzle
I pride myself on being pretty good at grammar and spelling, and years of avid reading mean there aren’t many words I haven’t come across and have at least an inkling of how to spell. “Cantaloupe”, apparently, is not a word that authors use often. And I don’t think the handwritten signs at grocery stores […]
