Chocolate-Dipped Gingersnaps
If you’ve followed the blog you’ll know that I’m all set up with my faux-fur pillows, my birch candles (from my book), I’m over-stocked in chai lattes and I have a new read – The Nest. All I need to complete this vision of a perfect Sunday afternoon is a roaring fire and a treat…. a sweet treat…. a sweet, but slightly spicy treat.

Creamy Potato & Leek Soup
Last week Hubby was away in Banff on business – which means I had to actually come up with a meal plan for my children. I have a few go-to meals that are easy and relatively healthy, but if Hubs is gone for any number of days we do seem to find a McDonald’s drive-thru at some point.
