I haven’t been blogging. I haven’t been crafting. But I’ve been editing a cookbook (the next in a bestselling Canadian series) and it feels like the work I’m meant to do.

Lemon meringue pie, recipe courtesy of the lovely #artofthepie cookbook. Just as good as it looks. 🍋🍋🍋

First time putting binding on a quilt. So far so good, and how fun to work with this riot of colour!

When a flash of colour catches the corner of your eye and you find crocuses you didn’t know you had. Happy Spring! 🌸🌺🌼💐

I said “Hello, Sunday” with warm cheese scones fresh from the oven. From a #messybakercookbook recipe minus the fresh basil (the garden’s under snow right now). So good!

Sometimes winter calls for a bright and crunchy salad that’s like a staycation on a plate. See Tuna Salad Two Ways on the blog.

Southwest Chicken Soup is just the ticket for today’s cold weather. Slow soup or fast soup? Your choice! See the recipe at the link in profile.

It’s a good day for Orange Ginger Beef Stew.

Who am I to ignore #nationalchocolatecakeday? This Black Forest Cake seems like a great way to celebrate it.
