Peach season always totally sneaks up on me. It’s here, but it’s not here for long, so get out and get some peaches before it’s too late! Carl’s away for 20 days (I know, right? How am I even expected to recognize him at the airport?) so any baking I do has to be consumed […]
Lemon Shortbread Bars
I’ve told you before that whipped shortbread cookies are my favourite cookie. Odd, I know, for a chocolate lover such as myself, but there is something about those buttery, soft, slightly crumbly cookies that, when done right, melts in your mouth in a way no chocolate chip cookie can match. (Did I even say that out […]
No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oat Bars
Recipe naming really isn’t my forte, as you can see from that unwieldy title. Eating is my forte. I’m ok with this. These chocolatey, peanut buttery squares happened because: a) it was too hot to bake b) I was out of butter anyways c) I had overbought peanut butter and needed to deal with it, […]
Leftover Cereal Cookies
I have a problem with leftover cereal languishing in my cupboards, and when I get a hankering (looove that word!) for cookies, any ingredients are looking like a good option, and with these cookies, the results are so good I now actually look forward to having a cupboard full of almost-empty cereal boxes. Who has […]
Saturday Sweets: Salted Pretzel Blondies
It’s Saturday and it’s HOT. Summer, you surprised me too soon, as I knew you would. If you feel like turning on your oven, and you like the salty sweet combination so popular these days, at least I can tell you these squares will be worth breaking a sweat for! For the recipe, head over […]
Saturday Sweets: Good Grains Fruit & Oat Cookies
I’m feeling a huge sense of relief today. Yesterday I handed in a 13-page paper and officially finished my last assignment besides a final exam for my Political Psychology course. It’s funny given how much I love school how relieved I always am at the end of a semester. Suddenly my evenings are looking so […]
Saturday Sweets: Chocolate Cranberry Bliss Cookies
It wasn’t too long ago I made some Cranberry Bliss Cookies that I dubbed my favourite cookies so far this year. My parents were here this week so I wanted to make them again, but, finding myself with no white chocolate, I thought I was going to have to change my plans. Enter my 4-year-old helper: […]
S’mores Cookies
Oooooh, cookies. I just never get tired of cookies. Today I’m super excited to share a new favourite cookie recipe with you! These cookies have it all: a chewy soft cookie, toasty marshmallows, chocolate, and serious cute factor. While “cute” was a questionable term when I applied it to this meatloaf, it is most certainly […]
Saturday Sweets: Chewy Homemade Granola Bars
I used to buy granola bars like they were going out of style. You know, the chocolate dipped ones stuffed with marshmallows, chocolate chips, and sprinkles? Those ones. Now I make granola bars like they’re going out of style. And I don’t dip them in chocolate, much as I’d sometimes like to. These aren’t a granola bar […]
Saturday Sweets: Fudgy Brownies with Cookie Dough Frosting
So I had these brownies lurking in my freezer due to what I can only assume was residual baby brain. While making the brownie layer for the base of that Brownie Cake with Coconut Meringue, I somehow ended up doubling the butter in the very first step and melting it with the chocolate, making it […]
