Happily hooked on crafts, cooking, coffee, and my kids.
Oh how I love this Sweet and Sour Chicken. I love it so much, I tend to make it over and over and over, but for some reason have never posted it?! What I love most about this dish is the sauce, I double it every time I make it. As Canadian Living says - [Read More …]
I remember the days when my Mom would make pizza dough. On the counter sat our blue bowl with a yellow kitchen towel draped over. Underneath, a ball of dough was housed. It sat for a couple hours until it doubled in size. After, it was pounded and rolled and sprinkled with our favourite toppings. [Read More …]

Luckily had all the ingredients on hand and made a batch. It was [Read More …]
