Is a kuchen just a cake? I feel very much like a German house-frau or something, whipping out a kuchen when people come to visit. White as I am, German is about all I can pass for when it comes to different ethnicities, being as it is very similar to the Dutch/English gene pool I […]
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 […]
Saturday Sweets: Chocolate Soufflés
Happy Saturday! Welcome to the 99th post, the one before the much anticipated 100th post!! Oh boy, I can hardly wait :) Over here the sun is shining, the kids are finally healthy again, the airplanes are rattling the roof thanks to the nearby Airshow, and we’re about to get another look at our new […]
Saturday Sweets: Strawberry Chocolate Meringue Torte
Amazing news we thought would never happen – we officially gave up renting and bought a house! Well, technically that is largely untrue. My in-laws bought a house, really, but we put in our small share which finds us living in a rather palatially large share. Sounds fair, right? For the first time I […]
Hazelnut (Nutella) Mousse
I’ve been a little lax in the posting department lately since things have been busy around here! My whole family is around since a new baby joined the family and my parents are here from Ontario and also celebrating 30 years of marriage, so we’re enjoying copious amounts of far-too-rare family time! Naturally, this means […]
Raspberry Lemon Layer Cake
Raspberry and lemon has to be one of the best combinations out there, and this cake is no exception. Every now and then I see something or think of something that I just know will be perfect and delicious and exactly what I feel like eating when the moment arrives to eat it. This […]
Frozen Raspberry Cheesecake
This is one of my favourite recipes for a fresh, light dessert after a heavy dinner of something like burgers or steak. It’s so easy and can be made WAAAAAAY ahead so you don’t have to do any dessert prep on the actual day of your gathering! It’s also a handy one to have on […]
Raspberry Chia Cheesecake
I am notorious for buying ingredients for recipes I intend to make and then forgetting what recipe I had in mind 3 seconds after I get my groceries home. This results in random ingredients that languish in my pantry and fridge until I notice that they are about to expire and have to put […]
Lemon Raspberry Pie
By special request (Hi Jen!), it’s my ever-popular, creamy, sweet, tart no-longer-secret recipe for Lemon Raspberry Pie. Of course, when I wanted to take a picture of it that happened to be the time I forgot about it and the edges got a little brown…do as I say, not as I do, as they say. This […]
Black Forest Cake
Carl loves Black Forest Cake, so for his birthday I decided to attempt to make a homemade one. I think this is one of the easiest cakes in the world to make, and this way also happens to taste better than the store can do, if I do say so myself. I love cake […]
