A few weeks ago when I was visiting my mom with the kids, I went through her recipe box and took photos of my favourite recipes that my mom used to make when I was growing up. I went in there looking for one in particular, which was this one, the Super Apple Bake. I’m not entirely sure where the ... Read More »
Ok. So this DIY serving tray from candy was one of those things that I saw on Pinterest and thought, “No way. There’s either a trick to it, or it’s a Pinterest Old Wives Tale. It can’t be that easy!” Well, guess what? It totally is. I started out with instructions from this blog over here, and then headed out ... Read More »
While our friends south of the border are preparing for Turkey Overload, we up here in Canada have been finished with Thanksgiving for over a month now. I squirreled away some of the leftover turkey in the freezer, and while I love turkey and gravy sandwiches, I wanted to find something a little more creative for the final container ... Read More »
MR – I was given this recipe by a friend. It was supposedly the EASIEST bread recipe there is – no breadmaker needed. As I read through the blog post, I was inspired by her beautiful photos and the hundreds of comments, agreeing that this bread was amazing! So…I tried it. 5 minutes to measure & mix the 4 ingredients. ... Read More »

But really – spending that much money on a drink?! And, as usual, Pinterest to the rescue! I found this recipe and it ... Read More »
MR – We love the smells and tastes of fall here at our place. The best smell, I think, is the combination of apples and cinnamon – it fills the entire house and it lasts a long time (much better than those air “fresheners.”) It reminds me of my mother’s apple pies, apple muffins, and apple sauce when we were ...

MR – Mmmm…I love summer fruit: blueberries, strawberries, raspberries. Great for eating alone, or for baking with. Aside from the delicious taste, they are full of vitamins and antioxidants. This recipe for a pie filling is such a versatile recipe. It can be used as a simple pie filling, as cheesecake topping, or as a sauce for pancakes/waffles. It can ... Read More »
MR – A year or so ago, I pinned this pin for homemade hamburger buns. It is a HUGE recipe, and it is made by hand. Since we have a breadmaker, I prefer to make my dough in there, so I adjusted the recipe to make fewer, and to work in a bread maker. I love this recipe – it’s ... Read More »
Hello friends! My name is Marnie, and I have the honour of contributing a guest post to “You Pinspire Me” today.

Take a look at this awesome sunset: But the real reason for this post is ... Read More »
