What’s for dessert: Rainbow velvet cake

When I came across this leprechaun trap cake on Pinterest I knew it was something I had to try!  Everything that I read online said that using a boxed white cake mix was the way to go but I had this crazy idea to use a red velvet cupcake recipe from an episode of Throwdown with . . . → Read More: What’s for dessert: Rainbow velvet cake

What’s for dessert – Carrot Cake

My husband, in the 9 years that we have been together, has only ever asked for 2 kinds of birthday cake: black forest and carrot.  I was on the hunt for the perfect carrot cake recipe and my good friend Joleen gave it to me.  It’s now my go-to cake for the girls’ birthdays as . . . → Read More: What’s for dessert – Carrot Cake

What’s for dinner – Slow cooker beef dip

I can’t explain it, but I think food is just better if you can dip it.  Veggies, chips, even sandwiches are tastier if there’s something yummy to dunk them in.  I’ve had a recipe for a beef dip that you make in the slow cooker in my recipe book forever and yet somehow I had never . . . → Read More: What’s for dinner – Slow cooker beef dip

I’m having so much fun this year, getting ready for Christmas with my little elf (Ashlyn) by my side!  She’s really into all of the preparations this year, and she loves to bake, so I thought it would be a lot of fun to have a few of her friends over for a cookie-decorating play . . . → Read More: Christmas cookies – Gingerbread men

Christmas Cookies – Molasses Cookies

This recipe comes from my husband’s Gram.  They are a tradition on his side of the family but for some reason, whenever my mother-in-law tried to make them they didn’t quite turn out right so unless Gram bakes and mails some goodies, they don’t get them.  I was quite nervous to give them a . . . → Read More: Christmas Cookies – Molasses Cookies

Back when we lived in Alberta, it was a tradition every year for my closest girlfriends to get together and do some Christmas baking, and Joleen’s butter tarts were always at the top on the list of things to make!  Sadly, all but one of us have moved away from that town now (although . . . → Read More: Christmas cookies – Butter Tarts

It’s been cold and rainy and very “fall” like around here and I wanted to make some comfort food for dinner the other night.  This recipe comes from the mom of a childhood friend of mine; I actually had to call my mom to get it because I’d lost my copy and nothing that . . . → Read More: What’s for dinner – Tuna Noodle Casserole

Rowan has started solids now and she enjoys food far more than her sister did at this age so I’m doing my best to come up with healthy and tasty recipes for her in the hopes that she will be a less picky eater.  I’m at our local Loblaws at least once a week as . . . → Read More: HUGGIES® Baby and You events at Loblaws (giveaway)

What’s for breakfast – Gingerbread Pancakes

We’re big breakfast fans around here.  Every weekend, Ashlyn wakes up and askes for either pancakes of waffles with “sup-ups” (syrup) and I like to have a few options for variety.  A friend of mine shared this recipe on Facebook and it’s made it into the recipe book – Rowan even had a taste and . . . → Read More: What’s for breakfast – Gingerbread Pancakes

It’s no secret that I love my coffee in almost any form.  I saw the recipe for Pumpkin Spice Latte cupcakes on my Facebook feed a week or two ago and have been waiting for a free afternoon to bake them.  Today it finally worked out and this is the results.
