Happy Saturday! It’s been a lazy week around here, as snow and more snow kept us pretty much housebound for most of the week. I ventured out once (with Carl at the wheel) to stock up on groceries – of all the times to be completely out of eggs and sugar! I am generally totally […]
Saturday Sweets: Almond Joys
Rumor has it Chelsea has been promising more healthy meals on the blog…but until we have evidence to back that up, carry on coming over for a sweet fix! :) I do actually have several dinner recipes I can’t wait to share with you, and am so happy to be back on meal planning track […]
Mrs. Dykstra’s Amazing Brownies
Happy new year everyone!! I have been seriously slacking on my blogging duties for the last couple weeks, as I holidayed to the max with family and friends over Christmas and New Years, but now I am so excited to be back at it! Anna and I also had a great chance to catch up […]
Serious S’mores Bars
I’ve had sex-in-a-pan, and I have to say it was disappointing. I’m not the biggest pudding fan, nor do I want to be eating pudding after someone has just mentioned the word sex. With that wildly inappropriate intro, let me get to the point before I lose you – THESE are worthy of a terrible […]
Whipped & Dipped Shortbread
Do you have any secret family recipes that you don’t want anyone getting their hands on? A recipe you love to make for people to enjoy, but only want them to enjoy in your presence? A favourite treat that no one else’s can ever compare to? This Whipped Shortbread is that for me. This is […]
Saturday Sweets: Chocolate Mint Surprise Cookies
Can anyone else believe that Christmas is already upon us?? I feel like we just set up our Christmas tree, and now we’re gearing up to, well, gear down for the holidays! These cookies are a great addition to any Christmas baking, if you’re the really last-minute type. They are the very best fresh and […]
The gift of wrapping // Raspberry and White Chocolate Nanaimo Bars
There are many things I can do. I can count by twos and tie my shoes. I can zip zippers and button buttons. But I cannot. Am unable. Find it impossible. To wrap presents. In even half of a presentable way. It’s true. My presents are not presentable. Every Christmas I come at the job […]
The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap: Empire Cookies
I was so excited to participate in the First (Annual?) Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap this year! This online event took off with amazing speed, and resulted in more than 22,000 delicious being shipped all over the world! Pretty amazing, right?? Of course, after signing up I immediately went into planning mode as to what […]
Chocolate Pomegranate Oatmeal Cookies
Are you all as bake exchange-crazy as me? I’ve controlled myself this year and am only involved in 3 different baking exchanges, one of which is the super fun Food Blogger Cookie Swap, which meant some delicious Andes Mint Chocolate Cookies arrived in the mail from Kristy the other day with a lovely note! […]
Orange Nanaimo Bars
Do you love Nanaimo bars? I do. I’ve seen many a good diets fall as helpless prey to a plate of nanaimo bars. You know what else I love? Orange chocolate. I search them out in the Pot of Gold boxes (I have to be faster than Anna), and I only really enjoy it around […]
