A Campfire Breakfast on Simple Bites

My little family is packing up and heading out to explore the fjords for a week. We”ve got all the camping gear ready to go and I”m itching to get out of here and have a real vacation. My post on Simple Bites today couldn”t have come at a better time. You”ll get a glimpse(…)

Rhubarb Crunch Coffee Cake

One of the {food} things I miss most about not being in Canada is watching the Food Network. I have a couple of favourite Canadian chefs and I often go back to the website to check out their new recipes. When I saw that Food Network had a Cooking Club Challenge every month and that(…)

Cottage Cheese & Yogurt Parfait on Simple Bites

I”m over at Simple Bites today talking about breakfast on the go. “Sometimes no matter how hard we try our mornings get rushed and we don’t have time to sit down for breakfast. If you have a teenager you probably have difficulty getting them out of bed in the morning which usually means breakfast is(…)

Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Mothers Day is fast approaching and all of us mom’s have images of beautiful bouquets of flowers, leisurely breakfasts in bed and children who are perfectly behaved for an entire day, dancing through our minds. Deep down we know it won’t go so perfectly, but it’s nice to have a day where our children at(…)

Simplifying Brunch & Strawberry Banana Muesli

Nothing beats a good brunch. There’s something so satisfying about gathering around the table for the first meal of the day, chatting it up and stuffing yourself so full that you can’t eat another bite until supper. Hosting a brunch can also be stressful, as you have to get it ready as soon as you(…)

Homemade Baking Mix

I love making things that you normally buy in a box, at home. Especially when it’s as easy to make as this Homemade Baking 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(…)

Fresh Berry Crisp with Brown Sugar Cream

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(…)

Banana Rum Chocolate Chip Pound Cake

Banana Rum Chocolate Chip Pound Cake

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(…)

Roasted Pear Crisps

Roasted Pear Crisps

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(…)

Butterscotch Apple Crisp

Butterscotch Apple Crisp

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(…)
