Little known fact: Carl and I dream of one day owning a fabulous Bed & Breakfast. We’ve stayed at a only a couple of B & B’s in our lives so far, but we love the friendly atmosphere, the great locations, and, obviously, the delicious breakfasts. I don’t eat heavy breakfasts but I would definitely […]
Saturday Sweets: Honey Yogurt Cheesecake
Let me start off by saying that this was not my favourite dessert ever. Normally I’m all “oh-so-delicious”, “must-make”, “best thing ever”! and I totally mean all those things. So I want to be completely upfront so you know you can trust me all those other times – straight up, this was a dessert I […]
Saturday Sweets: Peanutty Candy Bars
It was just going to be one of those unassuming days at Zellers, soon to be officially Target. I just needed a buggy to cart around little b and the spoils of what was going to be a large shopping trip. Turns out that their buggies need to swallow a loonie in order to be […]
Chocolate Zucchini Banana Muffins
I like to show up late for parties, much to my husband’s eternal frustration. Partly I like to show up late because that eternal frustration can be a source of some amusement. When you’re a full foot shorter and 100 lbs lighter than your significant other you can’t really strike up a fair tickle fight, […]
Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
There are certain things people try to disguise as healthy. Like sometimes I’ve been convinced that pizza is healthy. It can have vegetables, meat, cheese, and bread. Sometimes it even has fruit (which I am opposed to, as a rule). So basically it has all the food groups in one meal, and could be eaten at any […]
Apple Rhubarb Crisp (Gluten Free)
Saturday! It’s my first official Saturday of always-working-Saturdays along with my other days since I’ve decided to buckle down and see if I can’t get my 600 hours in to qualify for maternity leave again…3 months to go, so as long as I can work till mid-October I should be fine! Who says no to […]
Peach Raspberry Crisp
Since I’m sure you’re all totally tired of hearing about my lovely time on holidays, I thought I’d tell you about a delicious recipe you should all make instead :) My mom made this family favourite for us to enjoy this week and was kind enough to let me photograph it before (and after) we […]
Roasted Cherry Chocolate Brownies (or Cake)
Have you noticed cherries are all the rage lately? If not, here’s the facts: They kinda are. So are brightly coloured pants. I hope? Because I have some and I love ’em. And you all know being all the rage is what I’m allll about. *jokes* Cherries are one fruit that only seems to be affordably […]
BAKLAVA, baby
When I’m pregnant, I don’t grow leg hair. Apparently this is a sign of it being a boy on the way, and indeed, a boy is what I had last time around when I noticed this fantastic phenomenon, but I honestly can’t say if it was the case the first time around, when I had […]
Cranberry Flax Muffins
How was everyone’s weekend? Mine saw soaring temperatures and all sorts of fun. Friday morning was spent at a wonderful local berry farm, where Gemma made gooey eyes at my friend’s handsome son, and they had a great time playing together. The kids loved the berry farm, which definitely catered to families (even someone to […]
