It was three days before Christmas, and my to-bake list was long. Cinnamon buns, squares, cheesecake, cookies, truffles, etc etc etc… I was kneading a loaf of bread in my KitchenAid Stand Mixer when it clunked and the dough hook stopped turning even though the motor had not stopped running. I raced to turn off the mixer and, of course, ... Read More »
Disclaimer: I was provided with a KitchenAid Produce Preserver & Gift Card for Produce in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts & opinions are my own. According to the David Suzuki Foundation, one in four produce items in the average Canadian household gets thrown in the garbage. That’s crazy! That’s like throwing out $600 every year! TWENTY FIVE PERCENT of produce ... Read More »
It has been a while since I’ve posted, and a LONG time since I’ve posted a Meatless Monday recipe. It’s been a crazy busy last month, and this past week DD2 decided to start using the potty – so I needed to be paying a LOT of attention to her and her body movements so we didn’t end up with ...

Just thought I’d share another one of my favourite things with you. My sister/co-author of the blog got her KitchenAid about a year before me, and was very excited about it. I thought it was a really nice-looking appliance, but wasn’t sure if I needed one. My mom came across a second-hand one for me later on, so I ... Read More »
I’ve been curious about making my own butter now for a little while. Since I received my beautiful KitchenAid Stand Mixer for Christmas 3 years ago, to be exact. However, it seems to be getting harder and harder to find butter for sale in stores for under $3.00, and we use a fair amount of it. I grew up using ... Read More »

My broken wrist and my son’s 3 teeth that got knocked out But I figured that I have to do something – I’m getting pretty bored these days. So I thought we’d try some soft pretzels. I ... Read More »
This is another recipe that I’ve had in the drawer for about 6 months – I make them almost once a week, and they go over SUPER well with everyone who’s sat at my table. (The other possibility is that the kids have all just been super polite & asked for 2nds & 3rds just to suck up, but considering they’ve ... Read More »
As the temperatures are getting cooler, I am loving these warm fall recipes (especially the ones that require me to turn on the oven, since I’m not turning on the furnace yet…). So along with supper tonight, we’re having this crusty bread that I posted last year. It is so easy to make, takes only 3 ingredients – flour, salt and ... Read More »
This is a delicious sausage recipe that my mom used to make when we were growing up. It’s kind of nice because it tastes great when it’s hot, but it’s also really good cold (so it would be a great addition to kids’ lunches). IngredientsDough:1 tsp. active dry yeast1 3/4 c. flour1/3 c. cornmeal1/2 tsp salt3/4 c. shredded cheeseFilling:1 ... Read More »
MR – While going through my Pinterest boards to find dinner inspiration, I found this recipe I had pinned a long time ago for homemade bagels. It looked easy enough, so I figured I should try it with the boys. The weather wasn’t too warm, so I didn’t have to worry about heating up the house by using the oven, and ... Read More »
