Not only do I love to cook and bake. I love to knit as well. It takes me forever to get through a knitting project though. I can't even blame it on being a New Mommy.

13 more days to go till Christmas, not ready and I have a 7 month old that is testing her boundaries.  Yelling at me as I type.  Just because I'm in the room doesn't mean you need me to hold you. It helps if I sing to her, I know you're probably thinking "poor child" you like your mothers singing? Gotta run.  My nerves are shot.

Welcome back to me!  It has been quite awhile since posting anything here.  I'm a first time mom now and loving it!  Mind you there are times where I am driven slightly crazy.  My friends would argue that I was "slightly" crazy before.  A wonderful little girl came  in to my life back in April and I am truly blessed to have such a loving, good natured little girl.  I can't believe Regan that

Thank you Epicurious for saving the day once again!A rather persistent co-worker had been bothering me to bake something for the longest time. My excuse was I didn't have a working oven.

Its hard to measure this recipe its more about getting a feel of how much you need to use when measuring the ingredients. The general ratio is: 3/4 mashed potatoes to 1/4 Flour.

This Post has absolutely nothing to do with food. But it has everything to do with my proud acomplishment and it all started with 2 leaves taken from another African Violet. I was excited when my 2 leaves started to grow babies last year but this week I noticed it had grown flowers as well!! I now have 4 beautiful Purple African Violets only one has bloomed so far.

Well Mon came over today and instead of baking we thought we'd attempt to make pizza from scratch. A Pizza Margherita. This pizza consists of a homemade pizza sauce, with fresh basil, mozzarella and parmesan. We chose to grate our mozzarella then thinly slice it like the original recipe calls for. It was decent but not as flavourful as we had hoped but then again we're used to smothering it with

A few people have been asking me about a cornmeal muffin recipe and for the life of me I can't remember where I got it from. But then again its possible that I just used a cornbread recipe and threw the batter into a muffin tin and voila ........muffins! I stuck with the loaf version in this one.This recipe is adapted from Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook. Now I've eliminated a few things like

Lately I've been craving those spinach and cheese stuffed pasta shells. I've never used a recipe and usually make my own sauce to go with these but today I'm lazy. So any Classico sauce will do, I'm using the 4 cheese one. If I buy store bought sauce Classico is by far my favourite. These are all rough estimates including the time it takes to cook.

Who doesn't love a good Carrot Cake RecipeI'm not exactly sure of the origin of this recipe but my mother has used this recipe for years and once people have tried it they've loved it. I have not had one bad review. People have tried their different variations. The last time I made this recipe I cut the sugar down to 1 1/2 cups instead of 2 Cups as well as replaced the 1 1/2 cups of oil with 1 1/

A huge success for a simple recipe with a nice and rich buttery taste! I've tried the first recipe many times and its always turned out (as long as I'm paying attention to what I'm doing). I haven't tried the middle recipe but the one at the end turned out beautifully, love pecans.Shortbread Cookiesmakes 24 cookies1 cup unsalted butter, softened1/4 cup sugar1/4 cup icing sugar2 cups all-purpose

This dessert is awesome, not sweet at all and absolutely yummy. If you love apples this is a must be made dessert and I want a sample, People! I've been pestering a few of the lovely Polish ladies at work for this recipe (fun fact: 3 are named Barbara). They were translating the recipe from Polish so its a little rough, so I will be updating it once I try to make this dessert. I beg them to make

Well today was the last day for the One of a Kind Show. Never disappointing always something to look at or nibble on. Lots of Crafty ideas and great tasting foods!

23 more days til Christmas! Well tonight was the 2nd trial run of the gingerbread men and they turned out fabulous thanks to Misia's help. This was her first cookie recipe she's ever made and they turned out great! While waiting for the dough to firm up in the fridge I whipped up a batch of Brown Sugar Shortbread cookies. Which when the ends are dipped into chocolate can simply be described as a
