You should post some of those recipes, if you don’t mind (or if Nana doesn’t mind). I remember making the butter tarts after you posted the recipe and as I told you at that time, they were delicious! All my family enjoyed them.

Nana at our house is a big star when it comes to dessert, Mama can’t bake! Looking forward to some recipes, it sounds like the pressure is on to share…or better yet, why doesn’t Nana start a blog of her recipes?????

[…] I’m not sure if it’s as good as Nana’s brownies (remember the list?), but the recipe I found is pretty darn good and very easy too. I like easy recipes! The recipe is […]

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Piper who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. We also have two human offspring: Emma (24) and Sarah (22). During the day I work as a writer at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
