Lettuce Arugula Soup

Lettuce Arugula Soup

I know what you’re thinking … gross, right?  Didn’t we learn as children that anything green tastes terrible? I thought this soup sounded so disgusting but yet, I was intrigued and had to try it. Fate laughed in my face as I fell in love with this green, creamy concoction. I always change up recipes to make them mine […]

German Pancakes

German Pancakes

Pancakes are one of my favorite foods.  I love them….can’t get enough of them.  I like them plain, with chocolate chips, with blueberries, with strawberries and whipped cream….I have a bit of an obsession!  Up until a few years ago, though, I had never eaten or made German Pancakes.  When I first saw this particular […]

Overnight Oats

Overnight Oats

Have you eaten overnight oats? I’m addicted right now and I have been eating them every morning. If you haven’t tried overnight oats, I encourage you to try. It is easy to whip up different flavors and you really can’t mess it up!  Basically, it is mixing uncooked oats with liquids and left overnight in […]

Easy Easter Treats

Easy Easter Treats

I usually think of Easter candy in terms of chocolate ~ I’m a chocolate lover from way back ~ but I wanted to make some Easter Candy with my two younger boys ~ something that was easy to make but messy and gooey.  These Easter Candy Nests are easy to make and were a perfect […]

A “Joyful” Guilty Pleasure (Honey Joys)

A “Joyful” Guilty Pleasure (Honey Joys)

 Today I am sharing a ‘guilty pleasure’. This is a childhood favourite from Australian school fete days. As a child of the 70’s I have very fond memories of the school fete and in particular, the cake stall. Ohhhh those days were so politically incorrect . . . our mothers were more than happy to […]

Peanut Butter Bars

Peanut Butter Bars

I was at Costco the other day and noticed fresh strawberries! That means summer is right around the corner, right?  When I see strawberries I think of eating them plain OR making dessert.  This is one of my families favorite desserts….it has peanut butter so you can’t go wrong in my house.   Peanut Butter […]

Quick & Easy Breakfast Burritos

Quick & Easy Breakfast Burritos

 Way back….when I was a young whipper snapper, I was horribly grouchy in the mornings.  I hated getting out of bed.  My kids were all fairly young, and needed Mom to get up, and get around.  Now days, that wouldn’t be so difficult.  I learned to get up WAY before them, and drink me some […]

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

Heaven forbid I make something without chocolate added somewhere in the recipe! 😉  I really do love chocolate a bit too much.   Last week I made a Chicken Rice Vegetable Soup recipe {I’ll be sharing that recipe at Cupcakes and Crinoline in a few days}.  One of the ingredients called for was zucchini.  When […]

Artichoke Preparation and Stuffing

Artichoke Preparation and Stuffing

Spring is coming (or so they say) and that means it is time for artichoke preparation, stuffing, and eating!  But artichoke preparation is somewhat mystical.  So many people walk past them in the store simply because preparing one seems daunting. I’m going to show you how easy it is!

Sunflower Seed and Honey Wheat Bread

Sunflower Seed and Honey Wheat Bread

 Is there anything as good as fresh home baked bread? {Okay….maybe there are but you have to admit that fresh bread is pretty hard to beat.}  I love it ~ I am a bread girl ~ honestly….give me a fresh loaf of bread and some REAL Butter and I am happy as a clam.  Add […]
