Is there anything more comforting on a cold, snowy night or a chilly, rainy day than coming home to a big bowl of steaming chicken noodle soup? To me, chicken noodle soup is the ultimate comfort food and the only way it could possibly be improved on...is to make it homemade! If we buy a little chicken for dinner, I always make chicken stock from the carcass and more often than not, a batch of some type of chicken soup. Sometimes it’s chicken and rice soup but often it’s this recipe … [Read more...]
Grammie’s Oatmeal Molasses Brown Bread
I mentioned in an earlier post how most of Canada is now in the midst of the "dog days" of winter. I live on the east coast and we have already been totally pummeled this year and winter has officially, barely begun. On December 23rd we were entombed in ice more than an inch thick, lost power for days (many for up to 11 days!) had four successive snow storms and are now in the midst of bone chilling, record-breaking cold temperatures. What is a girl to do with all of this wild weather but … [Read more...]
Chocolate Chip Squares
The first time I had these Chocolate Chip Squares, was at the home of a good friend of mine. As soon as I tasted one, I knew I had to have the recipe! That was many years ago, and being the sweet person that she is, she willingly gave me her recipe. I have made them ever since.

They ask me to make these squares all the time, a couple of times they even wanted them in lieu of a birthday … [Read more...]

It is simple to make, delicious can be made ahead of time (bonus!) and is easily customizable to suit your own family's likes and needs. Set your imagination free and … [Read more...]
Homemade Macaroni & Cheese

You are basically making a roux and cooking the flour ensures you don't have an unpleasant "raw" … [Read more...]
Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies
Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies ~ While this recipe (minus the addition of chocolate chips) is technically a “shortbread”, it is quite different from what I traditionally picture when I think of a shortbread cookie. Usually, the only shortbreads I make or have eaten are the elaborately decorated, Christmas cookies. Did you know, traditional shortbread has four ingredients at most - sugar, butter, flour and sometimes vanilla. A large amount of butter is what makes shortbread “short”. The … [Read more...]
