easiest ever rolls

When I found this recipe on Pinterest, I didn’t realize it would be life altering.  These rolls are light and fluffy, super yummy and best of all are done in under 2 hours!  Yes, that’s right.  Two hours.  You’re welcome.   Anytime I’ve served them, they’ve gotten rave reviews.  My Love can’t resist sneaking one…… Continue reading easiest ever rolls

what the hake?

My Love recently went to our local fisherman’s co-op and brought home a new-to-us kind of fish–hake. It was fresh and reasonably priced. If silver hake is new to you, as well, it is described as “a close relative of the cod” by thisfish.info. Because I’d never cooked this particular fish before, I was unsure…… Continue reading what the hake?

pallet desk

My df girl is anxious to finish decorating her room. It has been a long time (2 years!…see this post, and this one and one more) since she’s been able to do so.

spicin’ up my life

I enjoy organizing.  I like to know where things are.  I like to group similar things together.  I like to have a system.  I like to control my chaos.  Trouble is, I am not so good on the follow -through, the staying organized.  I am a wannabe.  (see here) As I unpacked our boxes, I found more baskets…… Continue reading spicin’ up my life

lobster leftovers…no really

Lobster leftovers.  Akin to bacon leftovers.  Or cheesecake. As mentioned before (here and here), we like to cook more than we need for a meal.  That’s the only way we have leftovers for rolls or sandwiches, and chowder. I believe I may need to try one of those delicious pasta recipes, as well. On the menu…… Continue reading lobster leftovers…no really

soup’s on ~ chowdah

Since we began traveling to the east coast, we have been on a quest for the best cup of seafood chowder.  There have been many tasty samples along the way, but I think our favourite, as yet, has been the offering from the Water-Prince Corner Shop in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.  I believe we first heard…… Continue reading soup’s on ~ chowdah

keepsakes

In my last post I mentioned some favourite memories of my grandparents. Since I’ve been enjoying time with wonderful friends and family, and my amazing kids and grandlittles in particular, I thought I’d share some of the projects I’ve actually completed that I hope will remind my sweet baby boys how much their Gramma loves them.…… Continue reading keepsakes

motherhood

Twenty-seven years ago my firstborn, my Alberta girl,  came into the world kicking and screaming and I was inaugurated into this role called motherhood.  Three more and I thought we were a complete family, but of course, God knows best and gave us two more.  I could never have fathomed how deep my love could be for…… Continue reading motherhood
