Canteloupe Breakfast Bowl

What’s your take on melon? I ADORE watermelon, but other melons have never really made me jump with excitement. You know when you order a fruit salad and it’s primarily melons and grapes? That’s always a little bit disappointing for me. My ideal fruit salad would be just a ton […]

10 Thoughts for Thursday

1. Have you tried grain-free granola yet? I just made my first batch and it turned out GREAT. I’m hoping to post the recipe soon. Interested? 2. Hattie and her distracted nursing. So annoying! I have to take her into a dark room to nurse these days. I guess her […]

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Hummus! I like hummus a lot. I like it with a fox, in a box, or on a train or on a plane. I even like it in the rain. I do! I like hummus a lot. I’ve been reading a lot of Dr. Seuss lately, sorry. It gets stuck […]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! It’s 2019! So, are you kicking off the new year with an “eat healthy” resolution? I’m not judging you if you are! I think most people make this resolution not necessarily because it’s a new year, but because they’ve been stuffing themselves for the past month and […]

Chapter Eleven – 2018

December 31, 2018 16 comments

Wow – I can’t believe I’m bidding farewell to 2018. I know it’s cliché, and cliché to say that you know it’s cliché, but TIME IS FLYING! With each passing year I feel like the world is spinning faster and faster on its axis and I’m struggling to embrace […]

Boozy Christmas Slush

December 20, 2018 26 comments

I really should have named this post “Dad’s Christmas Slush”, because it is without a doubt, my Dad’s recipe. I’m not sure where it originated from – I think from one of the men he worked with, but it kind of became a tradition, at least since I was […]

Chocolate Caramel Bliss Bars

I did it! You guys, I did it! I think I’ve created my most favourite bar ever. Really. I know that’s a bold thing to say, but these seriously check ALL the boxes. I told you in an earlier post that I was no holds barred when it comes to […]

1. Mexico! Cancun, specifically. It was SO wonderful. It was the first all-inclusive I’ve been to in over 10 years, but it definitely won’t be the last. 2. Cookies! ‘Tis the season. I have so many cookies, but I can’t stop baking. Have you tried my mint chocolate candy […]

Hello Dolly Donuts

December 12, 2018 27 comments

Hello Dolly! I only discovered the wonders of the famous Hello Dolly bars last Christmas, when a friend made them for our cookie exchange. I’m obsessed! They’re so good. They contain so many of my favourite ingredients in baking; coconut, pecans, chocolate…and condensed milk. You just can’t go wrong with […]

Mint Chocolate Candy Cane Cookies

Hi from Mexico!! It feels so weird to be posting something so obviously Christmasy when I’m sitting in a sunny paradise. But I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to join another blog hop! Especially a Christmas blog hop – I LOVE this time of year. You might have come across […]

Crockpot Italian Beef Sandwiches

Hello! I’m so excited to introduce you to one of my favourite go-to meals. Crockpot Italian beef sandwiches!! I make these quite often for my family, especially during the winter when I’m craving a warm, hearty meal. It’s a total dump-and-go recipe, taking less than 10 minutes to throw together. […]

Salted Caramel Apple Rose Pie

November 9, 2018 32 comments

OK – the title of this post. It’s somewhat wordy, but I couldn’t leave any of the words out without feeling like you wouldn’t know what the recipe is all about! I think I’ve captured it nicely 😉 No guesswork here! I have recently been feeling rather confident in my […]
