I love this week…the time between Christmas and New Years when I’m never sure what day it is….PJ’s are considered appropriate day wear…and there are endless treats and coffee. Seriously…it’s the best! I’m only partly serious….sometimes I get dressed and DO things! I have a post of the Top 10 Things To Do the Last …
For those of you who want to serve a nice hot breakfast on Christmas morning, or even when you are doing holiday entertaining, I will share with you another of our favorite Christmas morning traditions…Oven Puffed Pecan French Toast. It is prepared (except for the topping) the night before….which is pretty important to do because …
“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas….everywhere you go…” Are you singing yet…or just sweating and not sleeping? I’m falling somewhere in the middle…a lot of singing but a fair bit of my usual holiday insomnia. But that’s OK…I can sleep in January! 😉 I’m starting to look at the last week or so …

Lots of comments like…”these are just like my mom used to make!….”I used to love these…” I have to say that they regularly make appearance here and everyone …
If you are looking for a beautiful, festive party food, check out this Chicken Broccoli Wreath recipe. I generally will cook 2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts the night before (just season and bake at 350 for 1 hour, covered with foil). You can also use rotisserie chicken if you wish to make it easier. It …
It’s no secret. I love coffee. Delicious, strong brewed coffee. I drink several cups in the morning and an occasional cup in the afternoon or early evening. If I ever get a tattoo, it may read “Coffee is Life”…or…you know… my kids names. 😉 Are you getting the picture? So it only makes sense that …
Summer to me means barbecue. I enjoy cooking outside while the sun is shining and the birds are singing, not to mention the lack of dishes to wash! I love just about anything barbecued from burgers and hot dogs, to roasted veggies and potatoes, but my absolute favourite; barbecued chicken – tastes like summer to …
Everyone needs a good lasagna recipe, because really, who doesn’t like lasagna? I’ve tried various recipes over the years but have settled on a slight variation of Pioneer Woman’s Best Ever Lasagna from The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl as our go to family favourite. It’s rich, creamy, filling…and delicious! *Cottage …
