    Whimsical Elf Inspired Cupcakes Scream Decorate Me

    December 22, 2018 /

    These whimsical Elf Inspired cupcakes are easy cupcakes for kids to make and decorate. They will remind everyone of the joy of being a kid. The best part – you really only need to bake the cupcakes and set them on the table with a bunch of toppings in a bowl and company, or kids, can do the rest of the work. What’s your favourite Christmas movie? One of mine is Elf. I am a sucker for movies with Will Ferrell. Yes, I know he’s a big goofball and it’s not highbrow humour by any stretch at all. BUT it’s funny, like fall on the ground laughing comedy at moments.…

    Easy Sweet and Salty Halloween Party Mix

    October 18, 2018 /

    Are you a Halloween party fanatic? How can you tell? Well, do you make your own Halloween party mix? Do you string the shrubs with fake cobwebs as soon as October 1st rolls around or do you wait until after Thanksgiving? Is your pantry well stocked with Halloween treats weeks in advance of the event itself? Costumes picked and ready to go by October 25th, one week early or more? Are you an adult who dresses up and goes out to a costume party just for the evening? Have you been planning your own costume for months and will it match your sweetheart’s costume? Then odds are good you are…

    How to Make the Best Ever Peanut Butter Cookie Pie

    July 12, 2018 /

    Peanut Butter Cookie Pie is the most amazing treat to share. There’s something so moist and decadent and truly one of a kind about Peanut Butter Cookie Pie. The cookie part makes it so much fun. I love peanut cookies to start with, and so does my younger daughter. She is the world’s biggest peanut butter fan. Thank goodness this child doesn’t have a peanut allergy or we’d be at a total loss for what to feed her. I mean I suppose there’s always pizza. She could subsist on pizza, carrots and celery and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Anyways if you are looking for a fun new treat to…

    Best Ever Canadian Maple Bacon Cupcakes

    June 8, 2018 /

    Well, could there be a more Canadian cupcake than these Maple Bacon Cupcakes? I don’t think so, but if you have an idea send it to me and I will try to find it or try to make it. For one, I love maple. It’s such a great way to add flavour to so many desserts and main courses too. And it’s so very Canadian. Right now I have a cranberry maple salad dressing here that is to die for. Brought it back from Quebec when we were on a food and market tour of Ile D’Orleans there recently. So many great foods and wines to sample. Then of course…

    Easy Frosted Brownies and Family Game Night #BornOnTheFarm

    October 21, 2017 /

    Fun, Family and Food. What could be better than that? Family game night is something that can really bring a family together. It’s a time when everyone is encouraged to engage in family bonding time with a little friendly, familial competition. It’s a time when laughter fills the house and mostly friendly jabs fly around the table. As kids get older we have to work a bit harder to keep them engaged. That’s why Hasbro’s Pie Face game was a hilarious addition to our games and puzzles collection. Add food to the family and the fun and you have a recipe for a great night. Making Family Game Night a…

    Apple Pandowdy – Farm Fresh Favourites #BornOnTheFarm

    September 7, 2017 /

    Truth be told, there’s very little I like about Fall. I am a summer gal. Summer is my happy space. Swimming and road tripping and beaches and sunny afternoons working in my outdoor office bring me JOY. Fall means back to routine and sweaters and colder temperatures. Brrr. But there are a few small pleasures even I can find in the Fall months. Apple picking. Pumpkin anything. Corn mazes, Squash. Oh and maybe Fall Boots. Fall means it’s time to get the slow cooker fired up again, because it will be on constant rotation here. It’s also time to bake again. Fall fan, or summer lover like me, your seasonal…

    Gluten Free Lemon Squares – Sweet Indulgence

    February 18, 2017 /

    This month is such a great opportunity to show all your loves how much you care by baking, or making a special meal together. You might even create a sweet indulgence like these Gluten Free Lemon Squares. The winter doldrums won’t hit so hard if you break up the month with treats, and maybe take a break together too. These gluten free lemon treats are pretty easy to make and I happen to love all the lemony snacks as you know by now so these are a big hit with me. We just got back from a wonderful family ski trip to Vermont and loved every minute of it. Road trips and food go…

    Traditional Peppermint Hot Cocoa Cookies

    December 12, 2016 /

    These Traditional Peppermint Hot Cocoa Cookies combine some really great and comforting flavours. There’s nothing better than the taste of peppermint during the holidays. It’s one of those tastes you either love or hate, I think. My kids for the longest time would say it’s too spicy, or too hot if I ever gave them peppermint. To this day only one has warmed to the notion of minty tastes and foods and baked goods. Did you know that peppermint actually dates back to the Egyptians?  It’s true. In fact, peppermint was found dried in Egyptian pyramids as early as 1000 BC. Peppermint was then brought here and grows wild. There…
