It took me four hours to get this coffee cake in the oven. This has no reflection on the difficulty of the recipe but rather my life as a mom. From exploding diapers to early bath times to bedtime tantrums this cake went through many waiting periods. I think it”s pretty safe to say it”s(…)
My son’s a cracker addict. So am I. Give us a salty, crunchy snack and we’re happy. When I put these on a plate beside Ritz crackers Max will clean them off the plate without even touching the Ritz. That’s saying something. Homemade crackers are GOOD. And, they’re so much healthier. Especially when they’re made(…)
I know most people probably don”t have tea time in the afternoon. I usually don”t either. But, now that the cold is here and I find myself braving the wind and chill with my kids, “tea time” in the afternoon is becoming more of a regular occurrence. And, these are a perfect tea time snack.(…)
I don”t know why it took me so long to make applesauce. Well, maybe I do – because somehow in my mind it seemed like a laborious difficult process. But it really shouldn”t have taken me so long because it couldn”t be easier. I was originally going to can some but once I tried out(…)
These homemade fruit-bottom yogurts stay good for a week in the fridge, so you can make a batch on Sunday to last the whole week.

A bar cookie that tastes remarkably like Fig Newtons. You can feel a little better about eating these though since they”re homemade and use all natural ingredients. :)
I think it was about this time last year that I shared with you my dire need to find healthier snacks. Well, I”m at it again except this time I”m serious! ;) Especially at Christmas time, I found myself reaching all too often for the sweets sitting on the counter when my stomach (or my(…)
Christmas is almost here. Ahh! I can”t believe it. Why does it seem to sneak up so fast? I”ve been putting off my Christmas “chores” thinking I”ve got tons of time and am just now realizing that I have to get it all done in less then a week. Overload! My procrastination has gotten the better(…)
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(…)
I think I’m in love. Or maybe I’m just confused because my hubby is off in Russia this week and I’m just trying to fill the void. Whatever the case, these Maple Walnut Apple Chips are addictive. Just look at that name and tell me that your mouth doesn’t start to water. I had pretty(…)
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(…)
