Hi everyone! I started the story of the munchkin's birthday cupcakes in this post, but decided the chocolate cupcakes needed a post of their own! Whereas I was happy with a modified muffin for the vanilla version, I needed to try 2 chocolate recipes to find a winner. The first one was from Weelicious (with whole … Continue reading Mini Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Fudge Frosting

Birthday Cupcakes
I'd like to start this post by wishing my little munchkin a very happy birthday! I cannot believe it's been 2 years already, and at the same time I can't believe how grown up she is - talking and singing, jumping and climbing, and even knowing enough to get excited about her own birthday party … Continue reading Birthday Cupcakes
Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
---This post is part of my Canadian Thanksgiving series--- I have to apologize, I failed as a food blogger and didn't manage to get my pumpkin cake recipe posted before Thanksgiving! But even if you didn't have the opportunity to make this for Thanksgiving, it is still a great all-purpose recipe. I originally got this … Continue reading Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Apple Crisp
---This post is part of my Canadian Thanksgiving series--- Well friends, we have finally made it to dessert in my Canadian Thanksgiving feast! Sorry for cutting this so close to our American Thanksgiving; it's become harder and harder to carve out time to get through my blog backlog. But even if this doesn't make it … Continue reading Apple Crisp
Silky Smooth Mashed Potatoes
---This post is part of my Canadian Thanksgiving series--- I'm easy when it comes to mashed potatoes - I've pretty much never met a mashed potato I didn't love, from super-buttery, creamy restaurant style to my healthier, minimal butter, skins-included Smashed Potatoes. I really am telling the truth when I say that I enjoy my healthier version … Continue reading Silky Smooth Mashed Potatoes
Traditional White Bread Stuffing
---This post is part of my Canadian Thanksgiving series--- Obviously, stuffing is a key component of any Thanksgiving table, but I had a really hard time finding a simple, classic recipe. Most of the recipes I came across included things like sausage, chestnuts, cornbread, etc., all of which are wonderful ingredients, but just not what … Continue reading Traditional White Bread Stuffing
Candied Walnuts
---This post is part of my Canadian Thanksgiving series--- When planning my menu, I looked at many ideas for appetizer soups involving pumpkin or other winter squash, but when I looked at all of the other dishes I had planned, they just seemed like too much food. Plus, carrying bowls of hot soup around a … Continue reading Candied Walnuts
Cornbread (Muffins)
---This post is part of my Canadian Thanksgiving series--- I've already told you about the Classic Lasagna I made to serve upon arrival for our Thanksgiving weekend guests, but I thought one more home-cooked meal (in addition to the big Thanksgiving feast!) was warranted that weekend. Lunch the day after our big meal seemed like … Continue reading Cornbread (Muffins)
Classic Lasagna
---This meal is part of my Canadian Thanksgiving series--- Hubby's family had a long trip to our house for Canadian Thanksgiving - about 8-10 hours. So before I could worry about the Thanksgiving feast itself, I wanted to have a nice meal for them when they arrived. I decided that I needed something that could … Continue reading Classic Lasagna
Simplest Mac & Cheese
I know, I've already posted two mac & cheese recipes on this site, but I'm still on a quest for the perfect healthy recipe. The Mac & Cheese (with Squash!) is yummy, and I love the Broccoli Mac & Cheese, but I have to admit pre-cooking pasta and making a cheese sauce is a bit … Continue reading Simplest Mac & Cheese
