hello!

Hi! I’m Donnalea!

My first passion is my family! I have a wonderful husband, plus 3 great kids who are now all grown.

Growing up on a farm in Saskatchewan, I always helped out in the kitchen. And I especially loved to bake! Trying new recipes and sharing them with my family brought me so much joy, and still does today.

I am so happy to have the opportunity to share my recipes, baking and cooking tips with you. So browse around and hopefully find something that inspires you.
