As you would expect from a typical Canadian guy, Tony likes beer. A lot. This means we almost always have beer on hand, which is great news for me because I can make this beer bread whenever I want. It’s the perfect accompaniment for a hearty soup or stew, and it also makes great sandwiches….

Chocolate Banana Oatmeal Cookies
If you’ve been browsing Pinterest lately, you’ve probably come across 2-Ingredient Cookies by The Burlap Bag. It seems too good to be true. Can you really turn mashed bananas and oats into cookies? Well it’s true, you really can! It’s a great way to use up old overripe bananas, and perfect if you’re wanting to…
Easy and Nutritious After-School Snacks
As soon as the boys come through the door after school, they start looking for food. You would think they haven’t eaten in a week from the way they desperately scavenge through the fridge and cabinets for something to fill their hollow legs. It’s not like I don’t pack them a good-sized lunch, I do,…
Banana Blueberry Muffins
I can’t believe I haven’t posted this recipe before because it’s my all-time favourite muffin recipe. I make them more often than any other muffins. The whole family loves them warm out of the oven for a snack, lunch, or breakfast. I tend to have all the ingredients on hand, but if I don’t, it’s…

I’ve been enjoying things like pumpkin lattes, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pie, and this delicious homemade pumpkin carrot loaf. This recipe makes 2 loaves so I can enjoy one right away and freeze the other…
Homemade Fruit Bars
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ll know that I am on an epic search for the perfect homemade fruit-filled bar. You can read about my past experiments in Fruit-Filled Mini Cereal Bars and Fruit-Filled Mini Cereal Bars, Revisted. They were both good attempts, but I always felt they weren’t quite there yet. I…
Granola Medallions
It’s that time again…back to school! I always find it such a chore to come up with new and creative lunch ideas when packing school lunches. I get stuck in a rut of packing the same old things day in and day out. Usually at the beginning of the year I have all sorts of great…
The Best Bran Muffins
A fellow food blogger, Ashley from Ashley’s Cooking Adventures, is expecting a baby next month! I was excited to join in a virtual baby shower for her and post a brunch recipe, but I unfortunately I was sick all last week and wasn’t able to prepare anything. This post is dedicated to her, and what better day…
