We’ve been eating these quesadillas for a couple of years now. This is our absolute favourite combination of quesadilla fillings. How could it not be? They’ve got every possible form of g...
I’ve been eating these Ginger Crinkle Cookies since I was a little girl, except we grew up calling them Ginger Snaps. The name felt a little bit misleading because these cookies are soft and no...
A lot has transpired since my last post. We moved all the way across the country and back up into Canada – we’re back home! It’s been almost four years since we moved away. Everythi...
Last week was a little crazy. My mom had just left, I wasn’t feeling well, my baby girl got a fever, my son got a cold. It was a long week. I knew in the middle of it all that I needed to find ...
Starting a house, kitchen and pantry from scratch is a big deal. So many times I assume I have something because I always did before. I can’t count the number of times I’ve started making...
My mom is visiting this week. Wee Hoo! I haven’t seen her since the beginning of last summer so I was beyond excited for her to come. And, now she’s here and I’m enjoying every sing...
I love my regular homemade baking mix, it makes some of our favourite pancakes (and according to the comments I’ve received, many others favourite too). I like the quick and filling breakfast i...
I don’t know what’s with me lately but I feel totally uninspired in the kitchen. I’ve been making a few delicious things here and there that I’ve been excited about (and have ...
Blueberries and lemon are such a natural pairing. And, when you fold them into flour and butter – divine. If I were going to throw an Easter brunch these would definitely be on the menu. Puttin...
Anytime I’m making a ham or turkey dinner I try to have as many sides as possible that do not take up residence in the oven. In the past, my oven was barely large enough to fit a whole turkey o...
I love making things with Max in the kitchen, but if the project is too intricate or involved I find myself getting more stressed out then I like to be. I want us all to enjoy our time in the kitchen...
So, when I said I hogged all the rhubarb at the store I made more then just Rhubarb-Vanilla Lemonade. I also made some sweet and refreshing Easter pavlovas (in the shape of eggs) topped with lemon wh...
I started thinking and planning for Easter a couple weeks ago. I love scheming up new and fun ideas for holidays and always start way to early. I do try to hold off on the blog though because even th...
****This giveaway is now closed**** Pssst. I got to meet Ree Drummond last week. I was just about to crawl into my pj’s after the kids went to bed and I happened to see Eliana of A Chica Bakes ...
Is anyone else as giddy as me that today’s the first day of spring? I’m absolutely ecstatic! That means all this gorgeous weather we’ve been having here in New York isn’t just...
My love of crispy chicken burgers and sandwiches knows no bounds. If I spot it on the menu, no matter how hard I try to convince myself to try something else, I’ll always end up getting it. I k...
Last week was my birthday. The night before, as my hubby was bringing my sweet little boy to bed he turned and said to me, “Happy Birthday Cake Mommy!” I knew in that moment I wasn’...
Going to a diner for breakfast has always been one of my favourite meals to eat out. Nothing like a plate full of grease to get you going in the morning! :) It’s actually been forever since I...
Moving from Europe, where tasty, fresh artisan bread is readily available, I have to say, I miss it. I love baking bread, but the bread in Norway was so fresh and delicious I never had a reason to ma...
I know. I know. Rice pudding? It’s not really something that gets people clambering up walls and banging on doors. When I was growing up rice pudding was our go-to when we had leftover rice han...
It’s still winter. Despite a few days of teasing here and there the cold weather is prominent and spring is still a month away. For my family this means soup – it’s kind of a winter...
OK. I can’t believe it took me this long to make butter. I knew that it was easy to make, but I think somehow in the recesses of my brain it just seemed like it had to be more difficult than it...
Are you guys sick and tired of chocolate yet? I hope not, because you don’t want to miss out on these cookies. I normally try not to share too many sweet recipes in a row but I’ve got com...
In my search for healthy snacks I came across this recipe. Now, chips and salsa are not really a “healthy” snack but, I am a fan of the fact that this healthy salsa makes for a more filli...
I couldn’t resist throwing in one last Valentine’s Day treat. This is a great last-minute dessert if you haven’t nailed anything down for tonight yet. Or, it would even be a fun aft...
I couldn’t pass up the chance to make a chocolately, decadent treat in honor of Valentine’s Day. They are pretty much best buds after all. And, can you believe there’s not a single ...
Cheese Stuffed Roasted Red Peppers + Garlic Ham Fettuccine + Instant Strawberry Frozen Yogurt with Chocolate Shell = One quick and easy three-course meal perfect for those times when you need to sque...
Growing up my mom always did something special for us kids on Valentine’s Day. Usually a little goodie basket and a cute valentine. We knew the evening would be my parents time together but she...
When I was a teen (I feel old just for saying that) I was addicted to tortilla chips and cheese salsa. Addicted. Me and one of my friends would get together on the weekends and we’d eat the sam...
I can’t believe it’s already been a year since I first posted about our brand new baby girl. Ahhhh! *tears* She’s growing up too fast! I love the baby stage. Just look at those cute...
