Pumpkin pie protein shake

October 6, 2014 by Angie

I just finished making some pumpkin cream cheese muffins for a bake sale at work. It’s the most excitement we’ve had in the office in months! For me anyway. I got the email and knew immediately I was in. All proceeds are are going to charity. Can’t beat that!

With the leftover pumpkin puree I got thinking about pie but it’s a bit too early to start making one of those. Around Thanksgiving I’m good for making at least three pumpkin pies. I need to pace myself! So I went with a shake instead. A drinkable pumpkin pie sweetened with just a hint of maple syrup….

Mocha banana chocolate chip muffins

I thought it was about time I brought some muffins to the office. I keep getting subtle hints from my coworkers. By subtle I mean straight up telling me I never bring baking anymore. Hint taken!

Easy slow cooker chicken soup

We are back into the swing of things! The kids are in their second week of school and fall activities have started up.

I’ve got one currently down with a cold. Coughing in my face and hand swiping across his nose. I’m sure you can picture that maneuver. Boys are so gross! I’m just really hoping the other bigger boy in the family doesn’t follow suit. Ladies! You know what I’m referring to. I will send signals if that happens. The signals will be for wine.

Since we’re all back to our regular routines and the weather is far from nice I brought out the slow cooker and let it do most of the work for me. Plus chicken soup and colds are kind of a thing….

Chocolate covered cherry cheesecake

September 26, 2014 by Angie

All my favorite tv friends are back this week! This surely calls for cake.

What’s happened to me? I used to love getting dressed up and going out with all my real friends. Now I’m just as happy staying home dressed way down in my pj’s – which say “need coffee” My favorite purchase from a recent weekend getaway with my husband.

Last Friday night we were walking downtown Vancouver when I suddenly remembered a place that has the best cheesecake. We stumbled upon Tree’s Organic a few years ago when the cafe was entered in a contest for the city’s best cheesecake. Obviously we had to make a major U turn after consulting my map app on the phone. This a way!…
