I had a slightly scrungy lemon in the fridge, not nice enough to slice up and make any use of aesthetically, not bad enough to throw out. If there is one thing that drives me up the wall, it’s produce being wasted and it’s something I am working really hard on. This lemon was hidden [...]

Alrighty, first of all, these are not as bad as they sound. Sometimes when coming up with names for recipes, you have to take into consideration who you are naming them for. Namely in this case, my children. And the short one insisted that she did NOT want anything other than plain pancakes. She was [...]

These are another muffin I made while questing to find healthier muffins to send with my son to school. We all love pumpkin muffins in this house, our favorites ones being the Ultimate Pumpkin Muffins recipe that we have enjoyed for years now. Since there was no way I was going to screw around with [...]

Light as air whipped shortbread that melts in your mouth. No hockey pucks here, just buttery perfection!

The time to start your Christmas Pudding is now.Our family classic is less fruit and more vegetables.I kid you not.

Alright, the cat’s going to be let out of the bag, the chicken’s gonna flew the coop and all that jazz. Yes, I know that was horrible grammar, and the grammar police are coming as we speak. But not before I share my famous butter tart recipe, the one that is from my Grandma Marion’s [...]

Now it’s time to get on to a Pumpkin Loaf, or bread, because what kind of Pumpkin Week would it be if I didn’t have a great pumpkin loaf as well? This recipe makes two loaves, which was perfect for my picky-pants husband, one was plain and the other was loaded with raisins and nuts [...]

Pumpkin dip has to be the most amazing, delectable and evil thing I have ever encountered. I first tried it about 2 years ago at my friend Amanda’s Halloween party, and it’s been true love ever since. It tastes like pumpkin pie filling, and you can eat it on gingersnaps, or graham wafers. I can [...]

This is the best recipe I have ever put together that uses whole wheat flour in a muffin, and you can’t even tell, which is the kicker for me. Why eat something that’s whole wheat just because it’s healthier, but you don’t really enjoy it that much. I also love that applesauce replaces the oil [...]

I'm Karlynn Johnston, also known as The Kitchen Magpie.
If you've landed on my nest, you must have been interested in food, cooking, gardening, glass collecting, you name it, I have it.
There's a reason my nickname my whole life has been Magpie. I like everything. I especially like anything sparkly.
You can also follow me on Facebook, and Twitter.
If there’s one thing that’s certain, I haven’t learned half of what I would like to know and usually don’t know most of what I talk about.
