Well, it’s officially been 11 days since my little man turned one. Photo credit: Charlene Stam Photography He hit this milestone amidst a total absence of fanfare, with a hastily-bought- morning-of-birthday gift and not even a blog post to his honour. I promised him (as if he cared) a real birthday cake and a more […]
Kuchen in the Kitchen
Is a kuchen just a cake? I feel very much like a German house-frau or something, whipping out a kuchen when people come to visit. White as I am, German is about all I can pass for when it comes to different ethnicities, being as it is very similar to the Dutch/English gene pool I […]
Strawberry Basil Bruschetta
It’s mooooovvinnnng day!! And yesterday my sweet little boy turned one, but he’s getting a belated birthday cake so he’s also getting an accompanying late birthday post, stay tuned :) It doesn’t seem real at all that we’re moving today, despite the piles of boxes around me and the 2 hours spent yesterday scrubbing other […]
Grapefruit Squares
This week we decided to give you a break from chocolate (who needs a break, really, but we do encourage diversity :)) and introduce you to the world of grapefruit squares! Grapefruit is, in my opinion, one of the most delicious fruits out there. If you are ever sleepy in the morning, simply open yourself […]
Bacon and Scallop Fettuccine Alfredo
When I stopped eating wheat, pasta was one of the things that I missed the absolute most (besides scones), and I was more than thrilled when I found out that rice pasta, when cooked right, is just as delicious! If you are sensitive to wheat, or gluten intolerant, and haven’t tried rice pasta, then go […]
On a Sausage Roll
Since Anna and I are now far away from each other, and our coordination is not always what it should be, this just so happens to be a day when we both post. Considering this is only the first day I am away, this may not bode well for future organization but it is great […]
Roasted Cherry Dark Chocolate Brownies
These are, quite simply, the best brownies I have ever eaten. We’ve been on a bit of a brownie kick lately, with the Cookies ‘n’ Cream brownies, then the Peanut Butter Crunch brownies, and now this. Do other people make brownies every week too? I hope so. These brownies end my quest for a homemade […]
Reese’s Peanut Butter Crunch Brownies
I loooooooove brownies. And I’m not talking 8 year old Girl Scouts, though they are very sweet too, I’m sure. I’m talking sweet, dense, crackly-topped, stick to all the parts of your mouth, good cold or warm, with icing, ice cream, whipped cream, and/or chocolate sauce, want-one-right-now brownies. What’s that, you prefer those kind of […]
Cranberry Apple Upside-Down Muffins
You know those foods that are good at any time of the day? Like pizza… pasta… chocolate? These muffins are like that. So by that reasoning, these muffins are very high on my list of deliciousness… they are perfect for breakfast, lunch or snack, since they’re not too sweet for a meal, but not too […]
Braided Cinnamon (C)raisin Bread
Cinnamon bread has to be one of my favourite things, but I’m not the biggest fan of raisins. This is my mom’s tried-and-true recipe for Cinnamon Raisin Bread, and when she was visiting after the birth of my second baby we had this conversation. Mom: Anna, would you like me to make you some fresh bread? […]
