I’ve posted homemade marshmallows before. For someone who had only ever tasted (and not liked) store bought marshmallows, they were a revelation in what a marshmallow is supposed to be. I can’t go back to store bought ones, and homemade ones are such an easy and fun science experiment that they are well worth the […]
Lemon Pound Cake with Mixed Berry Sauce {Cookbook Review}
Pound cake is a funny thing to me. Why would I deliberately make a cake that is dense, slightly dry, and literally weighs at least a pound?? I could probably just as easily find a brick to pour some berry sauce on, yes? But the funny thing is, there are a LOT of recipes that […]
Saturday Sweets: Oreo Trifle
You know those days where you want to eat a whole box of Oreos? In extra creamy, extra delicious form? Well, today is one of those lucky days! This trifle is nothing short of an Oreo lover’s dream, and is also super easy to put together! It’s a win-win in the Oreo world, that is […]
Rah-Rah RUGELACH: First on the First
It’s December!! How exciting is that? Now I can legitimately play Christmas songs, have our tree and all our decorations up, and not have any questioning looks. It’s a good day :). It’s also First on the First day, which is a reminder to me how unseasoned I am in the kitchen. Especially when a […]
Best Ever Carrot Cake
You know those foods that just taste like home? Living at home, (and being a gigantic fan of cream cheese icing, and eating my vegetables in cake) this cake was definitely one of my favourites growing up. Needless to say, when I came across this recipe after not eating it for at least 6 years, […]
First on the First: Dark Chocolate Soufflés
Confession: it’s First on the First time, when we try something new and scary in the kitchen, or something we’ve been putting off, or something we’ve just never done homemade, but this month’s challenge isn’t a first for me. Souffles are definitely the stuff of legend in my mind, but I’ve made these about half […]
Perfect Apple Crisp
Can we all agree that apple crisp is the bomb? I could eat apple crisp every. single. day. And this week I did. It was wonderful. You know what else I did? Graham crumbs in the topping. I told you, I’m obsessed. This is going down in history as the best apple crisp ever made, […]
Mini Pumpkin Doughnut Muffins
Just when you thought you’d already had enough of pumpkin, I’m here to tell you there is more pumpkin be explored! More to be enjoyed! More to be baked! Maybe this year I’ll even attempt carving a pumpkin for the first time in my life? Also, ’tis the season for pumpkin patches! We ventured out […]
Saturday Sweets: Pumpkin Layer Cake
I’m losing it. Well, I may have already lost it, but I’m giving myself the benefit of the doubt. Besides, I can’t remember if I told you in a different post that I was losing it, or if it’s the first time. If it is the first time, then I can still get away saying […]
Dark Chocolate Merlot Skillet Cookie / Brownies
When someone pointed out that my beloved skillet cookie, in both its original and peanut butter forms, had the equivalent ingredients to a whole BATCH of cookies, rather than think, “EW, you’re right, that’s excessive”, I thought “Oooh, you’re right, what OTHER cookie recipes could be baked in this wonderful way?!” What other cookies do […]
