I love everything about Christmas. The weather, the decorations, the stocking stuffing, the season-specific baking, and, above all, the celebration of Jesus humbling himself, becoming man in his most helpless state, a newborn baby. Whether Dec. 25 is actually the day of his historical birth or not matters little – it’s an event that […]
Pomegranate Bliss Cookies
Cranberry Bliss Bars are everywhere this time of year, and I tried my first ever actual Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bar a couple weeks ago. It was blissful. Last year I made Cranberry Bliss Cookies and Chocolate Cranberry Bliss Cookies, and both were a big hit and I’ve made them many times since. This is a […]
My Favourite Chocolate Chip Cookie
If you follow me on Facebook (you should – I would love to hit 1000 fans by Christmas!), you already know I got my wisdom teeth out on Wednesday. I was only wise enough to grow three, thankfully, so this was no 4-wisdom-teeth-story: The missing wisdom tooth was one of the pesky bottom ones, so […]
Saturday Sweets: Double Chocolate Zucchini Cookies
There is a lady at my church who knows exactly how to beat cancer. She is dealing with her second round of cancer right now and, humanly speaking, it is a miracle she is still alive. While I don’t know her well, I feel honoured to know her at all, and hope if I ever […]
Saturday Sweets: Chocolate Cranberry Shortbread Bars
I’ve mentioned before how I feel about shortbread. Well, my favourite cookie of all time is getting a serious run for it’s money in these squares. These have all the buttery melt-in-your-mouth goodness of that whipped shortbread, except now we’re also talking chocolate. And they’re bars, which means they are even faster since you don’t […]
Saturday Sweets: Granola Bars
Do you have a food that you just like best store bought? A packaged-good-weakness you never plan to give up? I have a couple. 1) Oreos. Mind you, I haven’t tried these homemade Oreos yet…I’ll report back. 2) Wheat Thins. Although I think I could challenge that with this recipe, but I know I won’t […]
Saturday Sweets: Jumbo Chewy M+M Cookies
Well, it happened. My sweet little 5-year-old headed off to Kindergarten this week, and, despite my last minute plans to dredge up some tears, it was a happy morning all around. I’m not much of a crier on any occasion, and it was especially impossible for me to be sad in the face of that […]
Saturday Sweets: Peach Almond Bars
This week was peachy around here! Chelsea showed up mid-week with 40 lbs of peaches and we over-ambitiously flash-boiled every single one of them to make for easy peeling so we could make them into a variety of recipes for the freezer. Well, we ran out of steam mid-peeling (read: the kids ran out of […]

*Don’t forget to enter the little giveaway for $25 in personalized paper products on yesterday’s post! If you’re looking for the perfect chewy, rich chocolate cookie recipe, look no further. These are, quite literally, my favourite chocolate cookie ever, and I’ve done more than my fair share of sampling. I’ve actually made these numerous times […]
Saturday Sweets: Oatmeal Fudge Sandwich Cookies
Dare I say I have found the world’s best way to take in your fibre? I believe I do dare. Fibre-packed cookies stuffed with a generous slab of fudge – how often do you get your fibre and your fudge in the same bite?! The cookies are a delicious chewy oatmeal cookie, and they are […]
