tips & tricks

As you may have gathered by now, I’m a bit of a freak. That chili recipe is going to have to wait till next week because PIES. My much awaited new website design is giving me a hard time. As in I’ve been too busy making pies of various sorts and then eating them, to get things wrapped up for my reveal. It’s happening. Just not this week. Soon, soon. I can’t be parading around like this for much longer.

Back to my freakiness. I would be the type of neener who decides to make 6 lasagnas and 4 pies in one day. Like it’s my JOB. Except it’s not. So aside from being a neener, the truth is, clearly, I love cooking and baking and kind of thrive under pressure. I know. Freak. Which is why I didn’t think much about embarking on making half of those lasagnas and half of those pies, gluten and sugar-free, with things I’ve  I’ve never made before. (The pumpkin pie).

I’m in the big city going from a gathering of 12 Women, to a top secret meeting that I can’t talk about, except for saying that. I’m here until Tuesday night and for all of that time in between I’ll be holed up in my great escape, high up in the sky.

Prest-o Change-o…Birthday Gifting From The Heart

September 17, 2012

My sister in-law …(well, officially…not really. Someday – when we decide to officially get hitched it’ll be all officially official for ya). As I was syaing, my sister-in-law…. She turned 40 this past weekend and we had a grand weekend of family gatherings coupled with somewhat debaucherous shenanigans. The mister and I racked our brains on what [...]

Simple (Honest) Strawberry Shortcake. Tiered x 4.

June 28, 2012

Now take that title with a grain of salt. Tiered cakes are to be respected. Straight up. One must be gentle yet stern with them all at the same time. At least that’s why I believe this sexy cake came out so magnificently. So timely. Surely, it also had something to do with setting a vibe [...]

On Making Time

June 7, 2012

For the mommas and the pappas. Seems nearly impossible. We are too tired. We are too busy. We are constantly in the thick of it: work, house and home, babies, toddlers, chores, repeat. It’s endless. And wide open. I’ve been on a slow and steady remembrance of this everyday. To not get caught up in the stress [...]

4 Sleeps Till Mexico: Baby,Toddler & Family Checklist

May 24, 2012

Whut whuuuuuut. Lately I’ve teetering on this edge of a precipice leading to doom. The kind of doom that smells distinctly of burning. Or rather burn-out. Which is why I can barely contain my anticipation to borad a plane bound for the Riviera Mayan. It’s our first vacation as a family of four. It’s the [...]

Eat Some Healthy Soup Okay?

January 18, 2012

Because it’s that time of year. Fresh off the cookie, chocolate, decadent, savory / sweet train. Aka: the holidays. As you may know, I am a firm subscriber to the mantra of moderation. Which means that when it’s the holidays? One indulges in (not vacuums up – but it happens), the treats. The fat-laden savoury goodness that is [...]

Triflin’ Baby

December 22, 2011

As in Abby made her first trifle with me today. Truthfully, it was my first trifle, and Abby did not do much except act a perfect angel and watch me while I trifled. (The puns just can’t be helped). I will say that she was very interested in the whole process, her interest in food in [...]

Nighty Night

June 14, 2011

It’s been months since we transitioned from co-sleeping to the WSL sleeping in his own bed. That was no easy feat. Between me and the BSM or  us and our boy. We were all up in arms over how to do it, because nearing his 1st b-day we I, were just not getting enough/any sleep!

Oatmeal, Raisin & Carrot Cookies.

February 23, 2011

A healthy, chewy alternative ! Baby Tested, Adult Approved. I experimented a few rounds before perfecting these little gooders. We are not a gluten free or vegan household, just trying to be healthy! Spelt flour , while it has a lower gluten content is not completely content free – is much healthier (less carbs), than [...]
