Holiday season is in full swing, and many of us are just coming out of our fall pumpkin coma, just in time for one more delicious pumpkin recipe! This cake is definitely worth cracking open one more can of pumpkin, brewing up some chai tea, and inviting a few friends for coffee or dessert. Part […]
Pumpkin Toffee Cheesecake
For us Canadians, Thanksgiving has come and gone and some of us are already in full Christmas mode. I may or may not be done my Christmas shopping already…it helps that I had all of one lovely lady on my list since we’re paring down this year, but I’m feeling accomplished nonetheless! I’m even more […]
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 […]
Plum Delicious
This morning, looking down at my pants that were on backwards, I realized I had started quite a tally since having a baby. You know those people who do great with little to no sleep? I am not one of them. My track record looks something like this: Number of times wearing my shirt inside-out […]
Mini Pumpkin Ginger Donut Muffins
I made these awhile back and have been meaning to tell you about them in case you had pumpkin languishing in your fridge looking for an outlet, but it’s taken me so long to post them you’ve probably used it all by now and will have to open a new can and start the whole […]
Chocolate Ecstasy Trifle
It’s Saturday. You need to make a delicious dessert for the weekend, be it to wow your in-laws, to butter up your significant other, or to eat in copious amounts on your own, straight from the bowl, while you watch Friends re-runs- (will Rachel and Ross ever make it work?! It gets me every time.). […]
Basic Pie Crust (for double crust pie)
Just a super quick post to let you all know about the successful pie crust recipe I used for my Thanksgiving pie… Apparently it was not very nice of me to tell you it was good and not share, so thank you to those of you who spoke up and let me know I was […]
Happy Thanksgiving! Apple pies all ’round.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all, Canadian or not! I hope you’re all having a fantastic long weekend with family and friends full of lots of good food. We have so much to be thankful for over here, even the rainy, gray weather that gives my kids the opportunity for some quality puddle time. We’re […]
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 […]
Cookies ‘n’ Cream Cupcakes
Well, it’s officially been 11 days since my little man turned one. Photo credit: Charlene Stam Photography He hit this milestone amidst a total absence of fanfare, with a hastily-bought- morning-of-birthday gift and not even a blog post to his honour. I promised him (as if he cared) a real birthday cake and a more […]
