Chocolate Ecstasy Trifle

October 19, 2011 by Anna 7 Comments

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.). […]

Roasted Cherry Dark Chocolate Brownies

Roasted Cherry Dark Chocolate Brownies

These are, quite simply, the best brownies I have ever eaten.  We’ve been on a bit of a brownie kick lately, with the Cookies ‘n’ Cream brownies, then the Peanut Butter Crunch brownies, and now this. Do other people make brownies every week too? I hope so. These brownies end my quest for a homemade […]

Reese’s Peanut Butter Crunch Brownies

Reese’s Peanut Butter Crunch Brownies

I loooooooove brownies. And I’m not talking 8 year old Girl Scouts, though they are very sweet too, I’m sure. I’m talking sweet, dense, crackly-topped, stick to all the parts of your mouth, good cold or warm, with icing, ice cream, whipped cream, and/or chocolate sauce, want-one-right-now brownies. What’s that, you prefer those kind of […]

Cookies ‘n’ Cream Brownies

August 20, 2011 by Anna 14 Comments

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 […]

Lemon Rhubarb Streusel Scones

July 22, 2011 by Anna 11 Comments

Lemon Rhubarb Streusel Scones

Yum yum yum. This was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, if I do say so myself.   Better than my decision to wear heels grocery shopping.  Better than my decision to wear yellow.  Better than my decision, even, to buy jeggings. I threw together a variety of recipe ideas/measurements/ oven temperatures with […]

When life gives you lemons, make lemon bars

July 13, 2011 by Anna 9 Comments

When life gives you lemons, make lemon bars

I thought we could all use a bit of a break from peanut butter (my overstock is finally depleting), and the freshness of lemon is the perfect antidote.  These lemon bars are one of my husband’s favourite treats, and I don’t make them nearly often enough. Let’s focus on lemon freshness, and not the cleaning […]

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Can you believe it?  Yet another peanut butter cookie recipe!  You may recall my warning about the 2 kg tub of peanut butter needing to be used – sometimes I hyperbolize, but this wasn’t one of those times. My mom has been making these peanut butter cookies for as long as I can remember.  They never fail […]

Magic Chocolate Toffee Squares

June 25, 2011 by Anna 11 Comments

Magic Chocolate Toffee Squares

There really is magic in these magic squares, my friends.  Sweetened condensed milk = magic.  I have yet to find a recipe with sweetened condensed milk involved that I didn’t love.  There is just something about that sticky-sweet liquid that makes everything else taste just that much better, and these squares are no exception (not […]

Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos

May 31, 2011 by Anna 7 Comments

Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos

This is definitely one of our family’s all-time favourite meals.  It’s one of the few recipes in my regular rotation and is one of my go-to recipes when I want to help someone out with a meal for their freezer!  The recipe doubles easily, and you can cook the taquitos from frozen in 15-20 minutes. […]

Milk Chocolate Cookies

February 9, 2011 by Anna 16 Comments

Milk Chocolate Cookies

These are super simple, chewy, stay-soft cookies.  I love chewy cookies. I know you crunchy cookie lovers are out there, and I must say, I will never understand you!  If I can hear a cracking sound when I bend my cookie it is not the cookie for me. Around here, we go through cookies like water, which […]
