Sweets for a Party by Bunny

Bunny is off to a cocktail party on Wednesday and realizes at the last minute she needs a fabulous, fast, unforgettable sweet, much like herself, to share with everyone. What will she make?

Cookie Squares and Triangles from Cook. They go together in minutes and bake in 20. Just enough time to wrap up a few remaining gifts.

Bunny will be baking on Edmonton's CTV Morning Live Show Wednesday Dec.7. The morning host will be her sous chef and put the recipe Cookie Squares and Triangles from Cook by Deborah Anzinger P.H.Ec. together for her.

One Pan of Christmas Baking Away From A Holiday Meltdown

Adding one or two or ten events to our calendars during the holidays can send our already crazy busy lives into hyper drive. Leaving us stressed and unhappy.

Bunny Cleaver has lived the life, family, job, home, pets and deadlines. Bunny encourages us to Cook using simple, healthy ingredients. She encourages participation of your own personal sous chefs and she makes this work with lots of planning and delegating. But lets face it the holidays are exceptional in that we may be spread very, very thin.

If the thought of Holiday Baking is leaving you close to a holiday meltdown than do not do it. Repeat after me, I am not going to feel guilty, I am going to find a good baker and purchase my holiday goodies. Again, I will not feel guilty. I will sit with my family and loved ones and enjoy our time sharing delightfully easy bakery bought goodies.

Oh, thank-you Bunny

If you do have the energy and desire to spend a little time Holiday Baking check out the recipes in Cook by Deborah Anzinger P.H.Ec.

Bunny Cleaver & A Cup of Tea

How is everything? Are you allowing yourselves a little down time? Why is it so hard to allow ourselves to sit and do nothing? Whenever I do, I get some of my best ideas. We should start a movement! But, that would entail doing something so let’s just sit and do nothing with the hopes that something great will come of it. 
Tea for One
Best, Bunny

Who is Bunny Cleaver?

Bunny Cleaver is a fast paced, busy gal who is constantly on the move. She adores a fabulous pair of shoes and a perfect shade of lipstick.  Bunny is in demand. She is a wife, mom, career gal, sister, friend, dog walker, house cleaner and chauffeur. She is also a planner, organizer and shopper who knows she also needs time for herself.

Bunny delegates.

She is determined to eat fresh, healthy, flavorful food. She is also determined not to be the only one in the kitchen preparing meals. Bunny sees everyone in her house as her own personal sous chef. And, when friends and family come to visit sometimes they are sous chefs too!  She rises to making dinner and packing lunches for her family  but adores it when her family prepares food for her. So, she teaches her sous chefs how to cook. Bunny says, "kids and partners rise to responsibility and by cooking and preparing meals for each other they learn empathy and caring while gaining competence and confidence."

Bunny Cleaver is the alter ego of Professional Home Economist and author Deborah Anzinger. Deborah says, "engage your own personal sous chefs and before long they will be preparing fast, healthy meals for you."
