I have one more pumpkin recipe I’m dying to tell you all about, but before you roll over and groan at the thought of MORE! PUMPKIN!, I’ll save it for another day. But be warned, it’s coming. After all, I’ve yet to find a good spot for a Smashing Pumpkins joke, and it’s dying to […]
Chocolate Meringue Cookies
Have you met my new friend Meringue? I was a little skeptical at first, but, like many people, the things I sometimes end up liking the most are the ones that I have the most doubts about. While this does not bade well for my character judgment, not to mention books, movies, etc., I love […]
Jumbo Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’m pulling into my bag of past tricks for today, folks. Those recipes I made who-knows-when-ago and saved for a day like this when I had excuses. Care to hear some? I made a pumpkin pie toffee cheesecake last night that smells and looks amazing, but it’s for a special brother-in-law/birthday boy and I don’t […]
Chocolate Almond Squares
At first I wasn’t going to share this recipe with you. I made them expecting a chocolate-almondy coating with a shortbread-type crust similar to the one on my Almond Fudge Topped Shortbread and Chocolate Toffee Bars. So the cake-like crust on these caught me off guard and I immediately decided it wasn’t my favourite recipe. […]
C is for Cookie, that’s good enough for me
We really love cookies around here. For example, you should probably make Milk Chocolate Chewies or Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies this afternoon. At the latest. I never get tired of trying new things when it comes to cookies. And I never get tired of eating cookies. And today happens to be my 27th birthday, […]
No Bake Chocolate Oat Delights
Do you ever get so caught up in making new recipes that you forget about old ones? I am definitely guilty of that, so every now and then I like to go through my trusty, food-splattered family cookbook and find a recipe from my childhood that I haven’t made lately, despite always loving it. These […]
Pumpkin Gingersnaps
Do you know someone who seems to know exactly what you feel like eating, moments before you realize yourself what you might feel like eating? It used to be my mom. Sometimes it’s my husband. Sometimes it’s even myself, when I bake something or make a meal plan for the next day and the next […]
Gluten Free Cranberry & White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
Today was dentist day. Now, I don’t mean any disrespect to dentists, but they terrify me. I realized that it was high time I bite the bullet and go for my “regular” cleaning, so I called them up and I knew things were not going to end well when the conversation went something along the […]
Dark Chocolate Mint Crackle Cookies
Is it really Saturday already? I’ve been pretty absent from the blog scene, but I can tell you I have a much cleaner house because of it, not to mention a gorgeous redone coffee table, 2 painted bookshelves, a painted chest of drawers, and a couple other items primed and waiting for attention. Here’s a […]
Apple Toffee Squares
I’m about to prove how healthy I can be, with the following statement. Apples are delicious.* Note the asterix? This is because I have fine print to this statement. Apples are delicious…. when they are part of a dessert. Now I realize that an apple a day will keep the doctor away, but since I […]
