Yeah, this @thugkitchen recipe is a winner. Check them out for the recipe! #blueberrymuffins #baking @thugkitchen
Saturday morning. Sunshine. Music, not news. Loved ones on the telephone. Baking blueberry muffins. Today will be calm. #baking #muffins #thugkitchenkingofbreakfastmuffins
Hmmm, trying my hand at baked beans. After all, social distancing ... #bakedbeans #molasses #canadianmolasses @crosbysmolasses
Meringue success ... . . . #meringue #eggwhites @eggsoeufs @eggfarmersont @burnbraefarms
It’s a dreary, cold morning. But then I looked out the window and saw frost delicately gilding the sage. Beauty is there, just waiting to be seen. #gratitude #beautyisaroundus #patiogarden #winterherbgarden
Oh yeah, that super chunky beef stew I posted in progress yesterday from @healthyliferedesign? My future self is going to thank me when I pull this bounty from the freezer. Rich beef, savoury root vegetables, and a tangy sauce ... mmm. #eliminationdiet #beefstew #potroast @lovecdnbeef
My favourite beef pot roast/stew is simmering away. Love how root vegetable-laden this is one is. It’s the recipe that made me look at squash and sweet potatoes in a new way several years ago. And that sauce is simply👌🏻. It’s from the #eliminationdiet by @healthyliferedesign and it’s been far too long since I last made it. Can’t wait to tuck in! #beefstew #beefpotroast #canadianbeef
Those cracks ... banana bread success. This one’s for delivery to a certain b-bread with walnuts enthusiast. #bananabread #baker #canadianbaker
A little Tuesday evening #bananabread baking. #baking #canadianbaker #modernscratchliving
