2.0’s snack mix
This is a variation of a snack mix recipe that one of my students, Eda, gave me. Eda is in my Ballet for Seniors class. Yah, that’s right. Every Tuesday I’m faced with a group of the coolest seniors on the planet. Trust me, you wanna be them. Über cool. Awesome like the bestest, funnest…

Sometimes, when you are extremely important and busy, you forget stuff. I forgot to tell you about these cupcakes. I’ve made them a couple of times, and they are awesome. But I made them back in the summer. Remember summer? It was warm and sunny and stuff? And all those months ago, I planned to…
Read Moreoliver’s cake {old-fashioned white cake}
Here’s the problem when you tell everyone on the planet about your life – people will actually remember when you say things like: I took a cake decorating class in the summer. But they won’t necessarily remember the stuff like: I sucked at that cake decorating class in the summer. Generally, this is a good…

Did you have a happy Thanksgiving, Canadian friends? 2.0 and I did. We spent Thanksgiving Sunday with The Beaucoups, and Thanksgiving Monday with The Ocean Family. We ate a lot. Because I’m full, and don’t have much to say, I will simply gift you with these pumpkin cheesecake muffins. They are perfectly delightful! They have…
Read Morebanana cake with mocha frosting – 2.0’s birthday cake
I gave 2.0 months to decide on his birthday cake. I told him to pick whatever he wanted – sky’s the limit! I figured he’d pick something covered in icing roses or fine printing – you know, just for kicks. I wondered how many elements from cake decorating class I might have to work into…
Read Moreslow cooker sunday – jimmy fallon’s crock pot chili
Yah, I know it’s not Sunday, but 2.0 and I have started a new tradition. Slow Cooker Sundays! I’m betting a billion other people have started the same tradition, since google had over 4 million results for the phrase “Slow Cooker Sunday,” but whatever. It’s new to us. Though, now that I think about it,…

You didn’t think I was all out of zucchini, did you? ‘Cuz I’m not. I’ve got another zucchini recipe for you – just in case you’re in the same boat. I’m also feeling the need to tell you that I blanched a pile of diced zucchini and got it into the freezer today – which will…
Read Morejackie’s spicy chicken wings
On September 11th, 2.0 and I celebrated our third anniversary. We celebrated by eating 31 chicken wings. That’s how we do romance. Chicken wings followed by a good flossing of one’s teeth. I adapted this recipe from a recipe 2.0’s mummy, Jackie, gave us. 2.0’s sister, Kim, told me they were like, the best chicken…
Read Morechocolate zucchini bread
We’ve still got zucchini coming in. Almost every day, 2.0 tells me about how many more zucchini are appearing on the vines in the veggie patch. “Two more,” he’ll yell as he runs into the house. He washes them, sets them on the counter, and then winks. And I don’t want to complain, but people:…
Read Morezucchini bread and/or muffins
This is kind of an unofficial veggie patch update: WE HAVE A MILLION ZUCCHINIS AND MORE COMING BY THE MINUTE. I’m not freaking out or anything. I mean, you all warned me that zucchini is prolific, so I was kind of prepared. And the freezer can probably hold a lot of zucchini bread, right? And…
