Breakfast Cookies
Cookies for breakfast? Yes please! You can actually feel pretty good about it this time though, they are about as close to a bowl of oatmeal as you can get without needing a spoon. Makes about 16 cookies Ingredients: Directions: Notes:

Carrot and Red Lentil Soup with Fresh Dill and Roasted Garlic
Sometimes there are patterns in chaos. For example, a bunch of dill ended up sitting with the carrots at my local grocery store. I took the hint and was not disappointed! This soup is thick and creamy thanks to the lentils and is perfect served on a rainy day along with some crusty bread. Makes…

Carrot Top Pesto with Walnuts and Roasted Garlic
Public service announcement, please do not throw away the green tops of your carrots! They are like parsley but better, with a slightly earthy taste that will remind you of the bright orange carrots they tend to travel with. Carrot tops wilt quickly, but you can make them into this pesto in order to save…

Cinnamon Buns
It is Easter weekend when I’m writing this post but apparently someone forgot to tell the weather. It is gently snowing and any eggs the Easter bunny leaves behind would freeze before they could be collected and put in baskets. Traditionally this would be the time of year for hot cross buns. Maybe someday, but…

Three years ago this week we brought home our newest family member from an animal shelter in a nearby town. It was a rough car trip for everyone involved but worth every white-knuckled second! It may feel like a lot of work to make frosted cupcakes for a dog, but I promise it is worth…

Herb Soda Bread
Soda bread is a crumbly, tender bread with a crisp crust. It doesn’t rely on yeast, so if you forget to start bread dough rising earlier in the day (who me?) it has your back. Soda bread can be on the sweet side, almost like a scone, or it can be savoury. This recipe definitely…

Cardamom Ginger Rolls
Where I live, we have just come through a bit of a cold snap. Nothing too serious, but just enough to justify a little extra baking and some warm spices. These are a slightly spicy, slightly less sweet riff on cinnamon rolls. In fact, if you were looking for cinnamon rolls and happened to land…

Sunflower Seed Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’m sure I had a brilliant plan for the roasted, shelled and unsalted sunflower seeds that I found in the cupboard this morning. Salad toppers? Maybe. Something in a muffin? Seems more likely. Whatever that plan was, we may never know, but I believe I found something even better. Chocolate chip cookies are a classic…
