Chocolate Banana Pecan Bundt Cake

One of our favourite cakes to make at home is still this Banana Pecan Bundt Cake.  It is so moist and flavourful, every time we have some bananas sitting on the counter I seem to whip this up!

The other day I was also craving a bit of a chocolate fix, so I decided to dress up this easy bundt.  Some chocolate chips and a little chocolate ganache later and we had a treat that was both tasty and pretty!

Cheesy Pesto Chicken with Roasted Red Peppers

Hi friends! Do you remember me? I promise I didn't forget you!

Time has FLOWN by! I didn't realize that it had been so long since my last post, until my husband looked at me the other day and say "Uh, you know your last post was December 21st, right?" and then kind of walked away.  Haha, oops! If he has noticed, then you know it has been awhile!

Life with a little one has been absolutely amazing! And so interesting: who know you could get so little done in a day and yet feel like it was so busy?  I am loving it though, our little Lillian has made us happier than we could ever imagine.

Lillian <3

I just want to take a quick second to introduce the amazing reason why I have been MIA :)




Little miss Lillian was born on November 17, 2012 at 7 lbs 15 oz and 21 inches, and we are so in love with her!!




She has been keeping us very busy and we have been loving every minute of it. She changes and grows so much every day; we don't want to miss a second.




I am hoping to get back to blogging in the new year, but until then I will be getting in as many cuddles as I can over the holidays.




So from my family to yours, MERRY CHRISTMAS! And have a wonderful new year!

Apple Cinnamon Rolls

**In preparation for the arrival of our little one, I have prepped some posts in advance.  As soon as our lives have some semblance of order (hah!) I will get back to my regular posting and be able to respond to any questions/comments you may have :)

'Tis the season for company!  And what company doesn't love some warm Apple Cinnamon Rolls coming out of the oven as they wake up or walk in the door?

I make these Cinnamon Rolls very often around here.  I am pretty sure they are the main requirement in my husband's diet.  Not too long ago I had a pile of Granny Smith apples staring at me on the counter so I figured I would add some variety to our favourite baked item.

While we renovated the nursery, we decided to tackle our room at the same time.  Our room originally had brown walls, drab beige carpet, and we had never owned a bedroom set in our lives! Once again I had taken the pictures before we had curtains, so just imagine some pretty curtains in those windows.

I love how cozy the colour grey can make a room feel, so we went with grey walls and a grey bed set.  My mom and I picked out the fabric for the white and the yellow/green pillows, and she was kind enough to sew them up for me too!  We also went with dark bedroom furniture because we wanted our room to be nice and relaxing, and not too bright :)
