DSC_0053

I love when strawberries are in season!  I’ve got 2 very easy, very tasty recipes to share.  Strawberry Mallow Dessert was found by my husband and it was quite a hit.

What’s for dinner – cornbread

My husband made some cornbread a few years ago and still talks about how good it was…except that for the life of him, he can’t remember where the recipe was from.  He was very happy when I came across this recipe the other day and decided to make it last night.

What’s for breakfast – Banana scones and banana bread

We had some bananas to use up, and while I love our favourite banana crumb muffins, I wanted to try something different.  My first stop was The Pioneer Woman where I found her recipe for banana bread.  Words cannot describe how good this bread is!  It’s got almost a cake-like texture.

I still had a . . . → Read More: What’s for breakfast – Banana scones and banana bread

What’s for breakfast – waffles and mok honey

I love weekend breakfasts, when we have more time to have something a little more fun than the usual cereal/bagel.  One of our favourite things to make is waffles and mok honey (homemade syrup), thanks to the recipes from my good friend Joleen.  It’s easy, delicious, and very impressive to guests when you tell . . . → Read More: What’s for breakfast – waffles and mok honey

What’s for breakfast – Zucchini & carrot loaf

DSC_0742

This recipe is from an old Alberta Agriculture Home Echonomics Branch book called “Zucchini, zucchini, zucchini…”.  I’ve made a teeny change and added some carrots and flax seeds; my changes are in pink.  This loaf freezes really well, so I baked it in 4 small loaves instead of one big one so I could . . . → Read More: What’s for breakfast – Zucchini & carrot loaf

What’s for dessert – Bobby Flay’s Peanut Butter Caramel Swirled Brownies

I love my brownie recipe but I also love to try new things.  I was watching Food Network one day last week and one of my favourite shows, “Throwdown with Bobby Flay” was on and they were having a brownie throwdown (for those of you who don’t watch Food Network, it’s basically a competition to . . . → Read More: What’s for dessert – Bobby Flay’s Peanut Butter Caramel Swirled Brownies

What’s for snack time – Minty hot chocolate

Christmas

I was having a rough day today (a toddler who refuses a nap when Mommy has a cold will make for a long day) and I needed a little pick-me-up.  I was chatting with my friend Beth of Keeping The Shiny Side Up and she suggested a really simple but really tasty little treat for . . . → Read More: What’s for snack time – Minty hot chocolate

What’s for (Christmas) Breakfast – Frittata

merry_christmas-1

I think this used to be called a “wifesaver” back in the day.  I originally got the recipe from Kraft Canada but it looks like they’ve changed it since I found it a few years ago.  I’ve made a few modifications based on our favourite foods, but you can use whatever veggies and meat you . . . → Read More: What’s for (Christmas) Breakfast – Frittata

Christmas cookies – Snickerdoodles

010-3

Snickerdoodles are my brothers favourite Christmas cookies, so I’ve been baking them for him for years.  They’re also great for mailing and for cookie exchanges because one recipe makes a TON!  I can’t wait until Ashlyn is old enough to help, I think she’ll really enjoy rolling the cookies in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Christmas cookies – Shortbread

IMG_3159-1

I’ve made these shortbread cookies for years.  It’s another recipe from my Aunt Jina and they are by far the best shortbread cookies I’ve ever made.  They were my grandpa’s favourite and I’d send them to him every year at Christmas.

You can make the dough a day or two ahead . . . → Read More: Christmas cookies – Shortbread
