I recently posted a picture of my freezer stash of expressed breast milk on my Instagram stories and have received many questions from other breastfeeding mamas on how I managed it. Now, I've seen bigger stashes, and I must also remind you mamas of something my cousin told me - the fresher the better, so … Continue reading Milk Boosting Apple Raspberry Oat Slices
Those of you who know me are well aware of my long-time love affair with raspberries and baked goods. So much so that my husband gets to share the dubious honour of being co-namesake for one of my absolute favourite recipes (Rizberry Cheesecake recipe plug).

I had another recipe lined up to share here, but I just wanted to share this cake I made over the weekend for a friend's son. Okay, so he's more, actually, my boss, but whatever. Semantics. Anyhoo, his son turned two last week, and he (the little boy, not my boss) is currently obsessed with … Continue reading Thomas the Tank Engine Cake!
This particular kitchen experience was rife with mistakes and accidents, yet we (I don't know why, but the Royal Plural seems to work here) always rally through and make the best of things!

Wow, that title is a mouthful. A good mouthful, however!This one is over a month old, mainly because I always intended on baking it again and taking better pictures but couldn’t find the time to do so.
