These are the easiest cinnamon sticky buns you will ever make, and that’s a promise. Want to know the secret? You’re not going to make any dough. I first gave these a try on Christmas morning, thinking it could be a quick way to eat something between opening presents, without missing out on any of…

Canadian Bacon and Egg Sandwich
Just another quick sandwich post, clearly I have an addiction going right now. Ciabatta bread, fried egg, fried peameal bacon, a dash of ketchup (if that’s your thing), and some cheese (personally I’m a fan of havarti; I’m a fan of it on just about everything). So, no recipe coming with this one, I don’t…
Grown-up Ham and Cheese Sandwich
I’m not even sure why I call these grown-up sandwiches, because it’s not like they take a lot more effort than a standard sandwich (I’m convinced they take less than some). I guess the difference is that I cared when I made it. When I don’t care, it’s just two slices of bread from a bag,…
Garlic Bread Slices
I’ve pretty much come to the realization that there are 8,752 ways to make garlic bread, and that there are inherent problems with each and every one of them. I’ve made bread that’s soggy and dripping with butter, some that gets its garlic flavor strictly from granulated versions (and it shows), some that really have no…
Fluffy Pancakes
Here’s a nice, quick little recipe for some of the fluffiest pancakes I’ve ever made. I find that pancakes are tough to love some times. They can be too thin, without enough chew. They can just sort of dissolve as soon as they hit your tongue, and they often just become overrun with the flavour of syrup….
Quick No Rise Pizza Crust
Oh, hello blog. Um, it’s not you, it’s me… Seriously. So, I’ve been completely absent for the last three weeks. Lets just chalk it up to holiday madness and my desire to get onto a ridiculously regimented schedule as a new year resolution. It only took me three days (and the 5 am rising of…
Pumpkin Spice Loaf
Alright folks, it’s time to start thinking Christmas baking. Most of my baking I’ve got down pat from the past few years of trial and error, but it just wouldn’t be the holidays without trying to find a few new things. Also, what would be better to pass out to family on Christmas Eve then…
Sour Cream Scones
I was in a bit of a bind for breakfast this morning. I’d been out of bread all week, a combination of forgetfulness last week when shopping and laziness this week in not wanting to load up the kids and run out, in the rain, only to buy bread. I did finally tonight, but I…
Open Faced Grown-Up Grilled Cheese
Now, I’m known for many, many bad habits. One of the worst (at least according to my mother), is that I don’t eat leftovers. I’ve passed this on to Bo to, and I admit, it’s horrible. It’s also got to change. Food is bloody expensive, and I’m in the (also horrible) habit of cooking far…
Battered Style French Toast
I used to always make French Toast what I thought was the standard way. Throw a bunch of eggs in a bowl, whisk them together with a splash of milk and some cinnamon and cook them in a non-stick skillet. I still think that there’s a place for this style too. It’s nice and easy…
My Cheddar (not Bay) Biscuits and My (not Bisquick) Biscuit Mix
So, I’m pregnant, and being so I get cravings. Frequently this time around, and a couple of weeks ago all I wanted were the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay biscuits. I’d been down this road before, and I’ve tried many of the online versions only to be disappointed, so at least I knew what not to…
Chocolate Zucchini and Apple Bread
Chocolate Zucchini Apple Bread I’m asking a favor today: Don’t judge me because I give this to Oliver for breakfast, and snack, and just whenever he wants it. Ignore the chocolate and focus on the fact that it’s full of zucchini and applesauce. And it’s delicious. So, so delicious! Prep Time: 20 minutes Bake Time: 60 minutes Makes: 2…
Apple Spice Breakfast Cake
Apple Spice Breakfast Cake I mean, what kid won’t get excited when you tell them that they get to have cake for breakfast! The next time I make this I think I’ll double it, and back a bunch of little ones in mini loaf pans. I’ll update when I do with times and such. Prep…
Monkey Bread
Monkey Bread First off, a warning. This takes some time…like…a lot of time. It’s totally worth it though, and with the cold weather coming, well, this is going to be a staple for the night we decide to stay in and watch all those old Christmas movies with Oliver (remember Frosty and Rudolph!). It’s worth it,…
Banana Bread
Banana Bread This is an Oliver approved recipe; my boy simply can not get enough of this stuff. If he knows it’s in the house, he refuses to eat anything else. I tend to triple the recipe, then bake it in those smaller foil loaf pans they sell at the grocery store (just decrease the…
Chevapi and Crostini
This is an absolute favourite of Bo’s, being that he’s Croatian/Serbian it’s basically a staple. There’s a little butcher shop about a 45 minute drive from here that you can get them at, but they aren’t hard at all to make, it just comes down to how lazy I’m feeling, lol. Chevapi Prep Time: 20 minutes…
