I have been wishing for spring lately. Living in Canada, it seems to be taking its sweet time this year! Finally on the weekend some of our snow melted and we could see the daffodil sprouts just poking out through the ground. I’m not a seasoned cake decorator (at all), so I had no idea that you can buy coloured icing in a pre-made tube. When I found it at the bulk store next to these leaf icing tips, I was so excited that I didn’t have to make the icing myself!...

It’s been on our bucket list for ages and we finally tested it out for ourselves on the weekend! Today I’m going to show you exactly what happens when you pour a glow stick into a mason jar with some glitter.

I’ve found myself in a bit of a vegetable rut lately. I keep buying the same 5 vegetables on repeat each week (baby carrots, broccoli, green beans, asparagus and … wow, I guess it’s only 4 vegetables?!) and I cook them exactly the same way. Every. Single. Week. My kids are picky, so they don’t really let me experiment with sauces or anything that has flavour. I decided to branch out this week and try garlic Parmesan roasted asparagus and it was a big hit!...

So I tried a new method this year. It was just as a little experiment, and WOW, was I ever impressed!?!

But the egg colours are super bright and vibrant and way brighter than anything I’ve ever made before!...

Everyone gets excited about Christmas baking, but I think Halloween baking should be taken more seriously. Actually, maybe “seriously” isn’t the right word? I mean, we are using candy eyes here to make cookies that look like monsters. So these aren’t exactly cookies for anyone serious! But Halloween baking needs to be more of a “thing” because there are so many totally awesome treats you can make that are only appropriate during a 6 week time period....
