Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese

It’s not a very exciting way to end several months of not-blogging, but I wanted to share one of my favourite cold weather comfort food recipes. I made this on the weekend to share with Judy before we headed out for an afternoon of craft show hopping. This recipe is based on one I found [...]

Blueberry Scones

When I joined Dan in Edmonton this July we signed up for a bi-weekly delivery of produce from The Organic Box, a relatively new service. We’ve been impressed with the quantity and quality of the food we receive every two weeks for our $50 with the only real issue so far being a couple moldy [...]

Making lunch fun

Meet Mr. Bento! Originally uploaded by .Ariel. I’ve been coveting the Mr. Bento lunch jar ever since Ariel of Electrolicious began blogging about it earlier this month.
