Butterscotch and Chocolate Chip Muffins

Muffins! Who doesn't love a soft and tasty muffin for breakfast, or to kick that 'wall' we all hit at work in the middle of the afternoon?

You know what I realized? Butterscotch is delicious, and I do not think to use it in baking nearly enough.  After throwing butterscotch chips in these muffins, both my husband and I were surprised by how much we really loved them! Lesson learned, our lives need more butterscotch.

Bread for Burundi

Yesterday I was lucky enough to attend a fundraiser called Bread for Burundi with some of my 'newly' acquired family members.  We attended a bread making class at the amazing Treestone Bakery which is owned and run by Yvan Chartrand, and all funds went towards the development of education and the ability for families to become economically self-sufficient in Burundi, Africa.  (If you want to learn more about where the funds went, feel free to check out www.dufashanye.org!)

Banana Pecan Bundt Cake

This cake. Ohhh, this cake.  


Please make this cake.


I don't know if it is the pregnant lady talking or not, but this cake is pure heaven! It is the perfect texture, and the pecans work so well with the banana flavour. This cake doesn't even need any extra adornments! I'm sure a chocolate or classic glaze poured over the top would be amazing, but maybe try this cake without those, just once.  Just so you can appreciate how perfect it is!

Spring Time with the Pups (and a Surprise!)

Now that the weather is much nicer out, we have been spending a lot of time in the river valley here with our pups.  This spring Chloe decided that swimming is the best thing ever, and it isn't long before Banjo is jumping int a pond or the river right behind her! 

Fried Egg Sandwiches

If you follow me at all on Instagram, then you might notice my love for a good fried egg sandwich.


I'm not even sure what it is about these beauties that is perfect every time, but throw a perfectly fried egg with it's runny, oozy yolk, onto some toasted bread and add some meat and/or veggies and VOILA! The perfect sandwich.
