I have no personal experience with this, but there was a Boston-based department store called Jordan Marsh’s that was famous for its fresh baked blueberry muffins. I recently came upon the recipe online. Once I searched for the name Jordan Marsh, I realized just how iconic this recipe was. I had to make these muffins.

I LOVE bakery style blueberry muffins. Love. My love for muffins and cake is like no other. It’s deeper than my love of cookies, stronger than my love of ice cream, and more passionate than my love of campfire smores. It’s serious. I’ve put a ring on it.

chili - cover 3

It’s 2016! It’s a new year! Alright, alright – so it’s already the second quarter of the new year, but since I haven’t put up a single post since 2015, me talking about how it’s a new year is sort of fitting, no?

I’m not sure how you feel about resolutions, but I don’t put a lot of stock into them. Every year I make a conscious decision to somehow better my life, but who doesn’t do that? I don’t think any of us sit around thinking, “Yeah, I’m good. Not much to improve over here.” Well, I hope that there aren’t a lot of people with that kind of attitude. For me, bettering myself is a constant. I’m always trying to live the best life that I can live.

12 Days of Christmas 2015, Day 12: [Recipe] Ambrosia

ambrosia

The 12th Frilly Day of Christmas is HERE!

I hadn’t forgotten about the last day of this year’s Christmas countdown, and I even had the post ready to publish, but I thought it might be nice to save this one until you’re able to give it the attention it’s due.

This ambrosia recipe is definitely one of my favourite recipes. It’s the only recipe I requested we have at my baby shower, other than finger sandwiches. It has a wonderful, light, tropical feel. This is my mama’s recipe, and I’m happy to be able to share it.

Every year we have Christmas dinner as a family at my nana’s house with my dad’s siblings and their families. It’s my responsibility to bring dessert for the dinner. This, along with a trifle, is one of the desserts I brought this year. Everyone loved it.

I love adding spices and flavours to our regular coffee, especially during the festive season. It just feels so… festive.

This is a very simple recipe for spiced coffee using orange zest, cinnamon, and maple syrup.

Enjoy a cup in your favourite mug on Christmas morning, or any morning. My favourite mug is my Murdoch Mysteries ‘Save Crabtree’ mug. My husband surprised me with it one night when I got home from work. It was such a thoughtful gesture and one of my favourite moments of the past year. Thanks, Husband.

Day 10. We’ve made it to day 10. Christmas is now just around the corner. I still have so many things to do. This evening’s plans include a whole lot of gift wrapping and maybe a bit of baking. Tomorrow – work, then probably more wrapping and baking. The shopping is done. I made a quick stop into a local Walmart today – mistake. I couldn’t wait to get myself right back out of there.

A couple of weeks ago, my friend Carly sent me a message asking me if I planned on posting a 12 Frilly Days of Christmas this year. At the time, I was getting nervous about being able to pull it off this year. I always stress so much about which recipes to post, having a nice mix of different kinds of recipes, and having the time to pull it all off. It’s not easy posting 12 days in a row while parenting a toddler, keeping a full time job, and all of the other regular life stuff, all during the holidays.
