If you’ve never de-seeded a pomegranate, you need to take the plunge. If these Pomegranate Oatmeal Cookies didn’t convince you, and these Oatmeal Pomegranate Muffins also failed to send you squealing to the grocery store, this chocolate bark has to be the deciding recipe. Yes, pomegranates are a bit of a pain in the you-know-what to de-seed, […]
Pumpernickel (Guest post by Mom!)
The end is in sight. Just 25-30 more pages of papers, two group presentations, a case brief, and one more final exam and then this semester is history in just 2 short weeks. I’m still not sure how all that can possibly happen in the next 2 weeks while the rest of life also happens, […]
Perfect Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Recipe
I think we’re finally caked out around here. I didn’t think it was possible, but after 6 days straight of various cupcakes, my sweet tooth is maxed out. Please pass the chips and dip. Before this sugar coma hit though, we had some reallllly good cakes. And frosting. Please don’t forget about the frosting. I […]
Cinnamon Roll Muffins
I’m not sure I know anyone who would turn down a fresh cinnamon roll. However, I know plenty of people who, like me, pretty much never GET a fresh cinnamon roll because ugh, yeast. Yeast is an amazing beast and I stand in awe of it’s leavening power and the unique smell and flavour it […]
Sweet Potato & Bacon Biscuits
There’s a reason I don’t read many books. I love to read, but when I’m engrossed in a good book, I am a nightmare to live with. That book becomes my world, and I walk around in a daze when asked to do anything else. At the best of times, my inner world is calling […]
Saturday Sweets: Pumpkin Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Icing
Is there anything better than a cake just begging for a giant dollop of cream cheese icing? Spread it all over…and I just want to dive in face first. This cake was my first foray into pumpkin this season, and, just when I thought I had enough pumpkin recipes to love, this one came along […]
Broccoli & Ham Crescent Roll Bake
Here’s a fun little phone conversation my husband and I had the other night… Let me set the scene. Carl’s out of town overnight, I’m home cutting 40+ lbs of onions for a school fundraiser. I’m sweaty, smelly, wearing a hairnet, and bawling my eyes out (because of the onions, y’know). Carl: “Hello? How’s it […]
How to make a Mickey Mouse cake without a special pan
Since my next little one’s birthday is coming up all too quickly (the big 1 year!) I figured I better blog about Kristopher’s birthday cake now or it’ll be too late :) This little man turned 3 a few weeks ago, and chose a Mickey Mouse cake for his special dessert. This little boy is […]
Roasted Red Pepper & Squash Soup
Last night I wrote a midterm I’ve been dreading since the semester began. I’m taking an online course on perception with a professor I had once before for stats who is not known for his, shall we say, normalcy. He is one of those people you stereotype professors as but no professors are actually like […]
Saturday Sweets: Chocolate Cranberry Shortbread Bars
I’ve mentioned before how I feel about shortbread. Well, my favourite cookie of all time is getting a serious run for it’s money in these squares. These have all the buttery melt-in-your-mouth goodness of that whipped shortbread, except now we’re also talking chocolate. And they’re bars, which means they are even faster since you don’t […]
