Thanksgiving

Shortcut Potato & Cheese Perogies

Shortcut Potato & Cheese Perogies

Potato and Cheese Perogies have got to be one of my favourite comfort foods and homemade is THE best! But, they”re so much work. You spend all afternoon making them only to have half of them eaten at dinnertime. I used to get together with my sister-in-law and we”d make big batches of cottage cheese(…)

Chickpea Garlic Dip

I couldn’t really share an awesome cracker recipe with you without also sharing a dip to go with it. As good as they are on their own if you want to serve them to company you’ve gotta have some yummy toppings. I personally love bean dips, my hubby on the other hand is not such(…)

Simplified Stuffing

Although I never spent much time in the kitchen growing up my mom”s simple, hearty and homemade cooking had a big impact on me and inspires a lot of the way I cook today. She”s an awesome cook and has produced some of my all time favourite recipes. Today I”m sharing her Simplified Stuffing. If(…)

Valentine's

Quick Chicken Parmigiana

I used to not be a fan of chicken and tomatoes together. There was something about it that just seemed off to me. Give me cream with my chicken and tomatoes with my beef! That’s what I used to think. I’m not sure what changed my mind.  I guess a part of growing up is(…)

Mocha Chip Banana Bread

Mocha Chip Banana Bread

This banana bread is much more reminiscent of a cake – with its rich chocolate flavour and deep undertones from the coffee. It”s almost guaranteed to win over even the harshest banana bread critic. The deep chocolate look of this bread speaks romance to me. Although, the most romantic we got was to sit huddled(…)

Mothers Day

Rhubarb Crisp

I’m getting in the spring mood with my favourite Rhubarb Crisp. The crisp topping is to die for and is my go to for every crisp I make. That, in combination with the tart rhubarb filling makes this one addicting dessert.

Double Chocolate Raspberry Muffins

I was debating whether to call these muffins or cupcakes. But I think anyone that eats chocolate muffins for breakfast understands that, that distinction is always hard to make when your having chocolate for breakfast. The only real reason I’m calling these “muffins” is because I took my Blueberry Sour Cream Muffin recipe and altered(…)

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(…)

Sweetheart Ice Cream Cakes with Strawberry Sauce

I have the best mom in the world. Don’t fight with me on this. Your mom can be just as awesome as my mom, but she can’t possibly be better. My goal has never been to be a better mom then my mom, but to be just as good. To be as loving, caring and(…)
