Today I made something that I've been wanting to make for a while. I've made crackers before, but I would really like to get into the habit of doing it regularly. The thing that got me going was my baby. He loves crackers for a snack, but I don't like giving him the saltine …

Chocolate Macaroons
I mentioned a while ago that I had started making macaroons for my husband so he wouldn't need to buy any when he went through a drive-thru for a coffee. What I came up with isn't the same as what he was buying, but he likes it - that's what's important, right? I've tweaked the …
Fudge Glorious Fudge
I'm starting to feel better although still not quite up to full strength, but at least I can cook and bake again for my family. Their appetites are starting to return too so the timing is good. This also means that I'm ready to get back 100% to my Trim Healthy Mama diet. One of …
A Productive Afternoon
I like to read about other people's lives. I enjoy posts that give me a peek into what someone else has been doing. I'm guessing at least some of my readers are the same so I thought I'd give you a peek into my afternoon yesterday. I had a lot of baking but I wasn't feeling …
English Muffin Bread to the Rescue Again
I have to say - the fun has not stopped around our house. Just as we're all more or less recovered from the flu my oldest son woke up this morning with some mysterious rash all over his back and spreading rapidly. This was only my husband's second day at his new job so guess …
Baked Fish
Fishy, fishy in the brook Daddy caught him with a hook Mommy fried him in a pan Baby ate him like a man. Let me start by saying that I DO NOT like fish (unless it's battered and deep-fried) but my family does. I desperately needed a fish recipe that I could enjoy as well …
Cool Times
It's been my goal all summer to make popsicles. First, I've had a hard time finding popsicle molds. I looked in various stores, and my husband finally brought some home from the dollar store. Let's just say it was a fail. Anyway, I had an idea. We ditched the molds but kept the sticks. I bought …
Chia Seeds and Octopus
This week after posting on Facebook about wanting to try chia seed recipes my sister-in-law sent me this recipe. I tried the chocolate version right away and most of us liked it. I had mine with berries and some whip cream. I made the recipe just as it said since it was my first time. …
English Muffin Bread
Today I made one of our favourite breads. I found this recipe on the internet a few months ago, and it has become my go-to recipe when I need four loaves of bread faster than the traditional yeast bread. You know, those mornings when my brain is in such a fog that I …
Tomato Soup Goodness
A few years ago I discovered homemade tomato soup. Let’s just say that we have never bought another can of Campbell’s since. This soup is so good and so simple. It’s so simple that even my nine-year-old daughter can make it with a little supervision and help. It really doesn’t take much longer than opening …
