I love making things that you normally buy in a box, at home. Especially when it's as easy to make as this Homemade Bisquick Mix. I don't make fresh biscuits nearly as often as I crave them, for one reason only. I'm lazy. Bread isn't a nutritional requirement when planning my evening meals so it's often left out of the equation. Not, that I don't love it. It's just that when the clock strikes five I want to be done with my day and only do the work that is required of me. That 's the great thing about this mix. You...

I use the words Fresh Berry Crisp with Brown Sugar Cream loosely with this recipe, because it's not truly either. Although, the description does fit it well because it is a fresh assembly of bursting berries and crisp granola clusters, topped with sour cream and brown sugar. See? All in the title there. This is the epitome of simple. In fact, it can hardly be called a recipe. But, it is a combination that I wouldn't have thought of without some inspiration from another source. Sour cream may seem an odd thing to add to berries, but that tartness along with the sweetness...

We have been freezing our little behinds off over here in the land of Norge. The sun is still refusing to show it's shining face and the cutting wind is making our walks to the grocery store not quite as enjoyable as they once were. I must be burning a lot more calories though because not only am I practically running everywhere I go, but my body is working hard at not becoming a solid mass. I know that Max is feeling it too because after his morning porridge he runs around the house teeth chattering, looking like he is...

My hubby is in London this week, which means one of two things. I am either living off of leftovers and anything I can scrounge up without going to the grocery store. Or, I am making everything I normally avoid because I assume James won't like it. The latter is the reason for these delicious Roasted Pears. As I have mentioned earlier, my hubby is not too fond of pears, so when I spotted this recipe I knew that I had to make it while he was gone. They looked so simple I knew I would be able to get...

I've been having one of those weeks. You know, the one where you hit the floor at 5:30 in the morning after tripping over your sons safety gate, or send your fresh pizza flying while giving yourself a matching pair of second degree burns. Yeah, it's been one of those weeks. Thankfully it is Friday and I am eagerly awaiting the start of a new week, hoping for the absence of pinched fingers, banged heads, and stubbed toes. I wish I had a slice of this Butterscotch Apple Crisp to drowned out my bruises. Unfortunately, I will have to be satisfied...

Sunday night I witnessed the worst storm I have ever experienced in my life. I woke up at 12:30 to the sound of my son crying. As I was warming up his bottle I noticed the sky flashing in a constant rhythm. Figuring it was the STARS helicopter landing on its nearby pad I continued droopily to my sons room to feed him. The power went out abruptly and an eerie feeling crept up my spine. The constant flashing continued and I tried to squelch my fear so that Max would not be alarmed. (We had been having Tornado warnings...

We have been having a very fun and busy week. So, I thought I would share a recipe that we took pictures of quite a while ago. These Simple Croissants are a cinch to make and although they are not quite as airy and fluffy as the original they have that wonderful buttery, flaky quality that we all love about croissants. They are so simple to make that I just had to make them the again right away the next week. I think I could eat them all in one sitting. Although, you should be able to freeze them just...

One thing that I absolutely love about this country is that it is so family oriented. Everywhere you go just seems to encourage and support families. Most clothing stores have children sections. Everything is stroller friendly. You basically do not feel odd bringing your child anywhere and I love that. When James and I were looking for places in Edmonton there were quite a few apartment buildings that would not allow children. That is unheard of here. Every time I go for a walk there are children and strollers everywhere. I really do not know how to describe it, but...
