Happily hooked on crafts, cooking, coffee, and my kids.
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 …]
I was touring Kraft Canada’s site looking for an easy dinner when I came upon their Simply Lasagne. {Which I think should be called Simple Lasagne}. I’ve always avoided Lasagne because it seemed so complicated and long. I mean, I remember seeing my mom make it and it seemed like she was in the kitchen [Read More …]

Since my discovery of quinoa, [Read More …]
I love my Canadian Living recipes. I own a few of their cookbooks, and am contemplating buying another! When I first saw this meal, I knew I wanted to make it, but it seemed a bit labor-intensive. It isn’t. I chop the cauliflower and get all the other ingredients ready and measured ahead of time. The taste of [Read More …]
