Recipe: Dark Chocolate Dipped Wavy Chips
Dark chocolate dipped wavy chips – the perfect snack to cut that sweet and salty craving mid week. I made these on the weekend and then we portion them off for a little treat all week long. The dark chocolate goes so well with the saltiness of the chip – and the waves make it that much better, since the chocolate makes its way into all the groves. Try it! Ingredients 1 bag of wavy chips 100g of dark chocolate Gather your ingredients and let’s…

Sewing: Week Five Tunic with a Skinny Belt
Week Five Tunic with a skinny belt! This Butterick pattern, B5203 is simple and easy. It’s from the ‘see & sew’ collection and I’ve made it easier and better. The original pattern calls for bias tape and I feel as though that’s far too bulky on the neckline and armhole. It’s 5 layers of fabric – too chunky. So, I’ve come up with a different hem. I’m not too sure what it’s called, but I’m sure it’s called something – and I’m sure it’s not…

Recipe: Gouda Mac and Cheese
Gouda mac and cheese – oh, and it’s gluten free. Awesome! Earlier this week I made gouda quesadillas and they were good, this mac and cheese, however, is better.

Ingredients 1 box of pasta (I used gluten free) 5 oz of shredded high quality gouda (I used De Waag 3 year aged) 1 pack of Boursin cheese (I used chive and garlic) 3 tablespoons…

Photos: Moose 2.0
Moose 2.0 We had visitors on the weekend! Two moose were in our yard. So fun! A couple of years ago they (or maybe other members of their family) were here, too. The pictures were a bit better a couple of years ago, but that’s because I had Bryce’s help to keep the pups quiet. This time, Bryce was working nights, so sleeping at 9am and Bella and Lily were in the house barking up a storm. It’s a wonder I got any shots at…

Sewing: Week Four – Lunch Box Bag
Week four – lunch box bag! That’s right, week 4 of the 52 weeks of sewing. This bag is perfect to carry my lunch to work – far better than the lulu bag I’ve been using. Although, it was great, this one has a bit more room for the containers I use to pack my lunch. It’s wonderful. I’ll share with you my measurements, yet you might want to make one based on your lunch containers. Regardless of your measurements, this tutorial is great. Okay,…
