I was trying to decide what new recipes I wanted to make, and I have to admit I am guilty of looking for the tastiest recipes that require the least amount of dishes to assemble. It’s true, I’m back in a kitchen that has no dishwasher, and while I’m in favour of hiring said dishwasher, […]
Grapefruit Squares
This week we decided to give you a break from chocolate (who needs a break, really, but we do encourage diversity :)) and introduce you to the world of grapefruit squares! Grapefruit is, in my opinion, one of the most delicious fruits out there. If you are ever sleepy in the morning, simply open yourself […]
Roasted Cherry Dark Chocolate Brownies
These are, quite simply, the best brownies I have ever eaten. We’ve been on a bit of a brownie kick lately, with the Cookies ‘n’ Cream brownies, then the Peanut Butter Crunch brownies, and now this. Do other people make brownies every week too? I hope so. These brownies end my quest for a homemade […]
Reese’s Peanut Butter Crunch Brownies
I loooooooove brownies. And I’m not talking 8 year old Girl Scouts, though they are very sweet too, I’m sure. I’m talking sweet, dense, crackly-topped, stick to all the parts of your mouth, good cold or warm, with icing, ice cream, whipped cream, and/or chocolate sauce, want-one-right-now brownies. What’s that, you prefer those kind of […]
Cookies ‘n’ Cream Brownies
Happy Saturday!! And if you’re not having a happy Saturday, simply make these brownies and you will be! Unless, of course, you don’t like sweets, and oreos are not your thing, and chocolately goodness just doesn’t do it for you. Or if you’re on a strict no-fun-food diet. BUT if delicious things ARE up your […]
Chewy Homemade Granola Bars
Granola bars that aren’t really all that healthy are one of my favourite things. In highschool I ate so many chocolate-covered granola bars that I started having a Pavlovian-type response to the end-of-day bell; it rang, I craved a chocolate granola bar. There is something so wonderfully sneaky about those chocolate-covered granola bars: because you […]
When life gives you lemons, make lemon bars
I thought we could all use a bit of a break from peanut butter (my overstock is finally depleting), and the freshness of lemon is the perfect antidote. These lemon bars are one of my husband’s favourite treats, and I don’t make them nearly often enough. Let’s focus on lemon freshness, and not the cleaning […]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Can you believe it? Yet another peanut butter cookie recipe! You may recall my warning about the 2 kg tub of peanut butter needing to be used – sometimes I hyperbolize, but this wasn’t one of those times. My mom has been making these peanut butter cookies for as long as I can remember. They never fail […]
Flourless Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
Well, I told you I would make some more cookies, and I never tell a lie. I was momentarily diverted from cookies while we made our first beach trip of the season this week! K-fer got his first mouthful of gravelly sand, and badly wanted to go back for more…I’m still not sure I’m […]
Magic Chocolate Toffee Squares
There really is magic in these magic squares, my friends. Sweetened condensed milk = magic. I have yet to find a recipe with sweetened condensed milk involved that I didn’t love. There is just something about that sticky-sweet liquid that makes everything else taste just that much better, and these squares are no exception (not […]
