I don’t suppose I can say I’m known for my healthy recipes. Really though, we believe in everything in moderation, which means all the sweets and treats you see here are eaten in small quantities and shared liberally. And they are balanced with (mostly) healthy meals and fillers. But these muffins are an extra step […]
Mini Pumpkin Ginger Donut Muffins
I made these awhile back and have been meaning to tell you about them in case you had pumpkin languishing in your fridge looking for an outlet, but it’s taken me so long to post them you’ve probably used it all by now and will have to open a new can and start the whole […]
Chunky Monkey Banana Muffins
You know that thing that you buy every time you go to the grocery store? That one food that you are sure you will eat this week, even though it went bad before you got to it last week, and the week before? I have that with yogurt. I don’t know why, but I always […]
Pumpkin Gingersnaps
Do you know someone who seems to know exactly what you feel like eating, moments before you realize yourself what you might feel like eating? It used to be my mom. Sometimes it’s my husband. Sometimes it’s even myself, when I bake something or make a meal plan for the next day and the next […]
Happy Thanksgiving! Apple pies all ’round.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all, Canadian or not! I hope you’re all having a fantastic long weekend with family and friends full of lots of good food. We have so much to be thankful for over here, even the rainy, gray weather that gives my kids the opportunity for some quality puddle time. We’re […]
Dark Chocolate Mint Crackle Cookies
Is it really Saturday already? I’ve been pretty absent from the blog scene, but I can tell you I have a much cleaner house because of it, not to mention a gorgeous redone coffee table, 2 painted bookshelves, a painted chest of drawers, and a couple other items primed and waiting for attention. Here’s a […]
Apple Toffee Squares
I’m about to prove how healthy I can be, with the following statement. Apples are delicious.* Note the asterix? This is because I have fine print to this statement. Apples are delicious…. when they are part of a dessert. Now I realize that an apple a day will keep the doctor away, but since I […]
Dulce De Leche Bars
I was trying to decide what new recipes I wanted to make, and I have to admit I am guilty of looking for the tastiest recipes that require the least amount of dishes to assemble. It’s true, I’m back in a kitchen that has no dishwasher, and while I’m in favour of hiring said dishwasher, […]
Pesto-Alfredo Shrimp Pasta
Well, risotto is now at the top of my meal plan, and I very much appreciate the recommendations you all so kindly shared, but after a busy and frustrating day picking up new furniture (yay, good deal!!) and dealing with a sick, sad little boy it was back to my regular comfort food – pasta. […]
Sweet & Spicy Noodle Bowl
I love noodle bowls. I think I love them because they give the illusion of stir-fry without the problem of rice. I have a few problems with rice, not least of which is that I’m just not very good at making it. It remains the only food I cannot master after repeated tries, and it seems […]
