THREE YEARS, guys. Can you believe it’s been 3 whole years since this little blog began as just another wordpress site? What started as a whim to keep in touch with family and friends far and wide has grown into something I schedule into my weeks and look forward to spending time on. I’m a […]
Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake
Happy New Year! What better way to start off the year than with a sticky caramel cake? New Years for many is full of resolutions about the sorts of food you will be eating, or not eating, but my resolution in that regard remains the same as always – eat a healthy, balanced diet, enjoy […]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Cupcakes
I am stuck in the vicious cycle of emptying my dishwasher just so that I can immediately fill it back up and start it again. This cycle is lousy because it means I’m not emptying my dishwasher in the morning, so dishes are piling up all day just waiting for me to give in and […]
Perfect Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Recipe
I think we’re finally caked out around here. I didn’t think it was possible, but after 6 days straight of various cupcakes, my sweet tooth is maxed out. Please pass the chips and dip. Before this sugar coma hit though, we had some reallllly good cakes. And frosting. Please don’t forget about the frosting. I […]
Saturday Sweets: Pumpkin Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Icing
Is there anything better than a cake just begging for a giant dollop of cream cheese icing? Spread it all over…and I just want to dive in face first. This cake was my first foray into pumpkin this season, and, just when I thought I had enough pumpkin recipes to love, this one came along […]
How to make a Mickey Mouse cake without a special pan
Since my next little one’s birthday is coming up all too quickly (the big 1 year!) I figured I better blog about Kristopher’s birthday cake now or it’ll be too late :) This little man turned 3 a few weeks ago, and chose a Mickey Mouse cake for his special dessert. This little boy is […]
Saturday Sweets: Apple Crumble Pizza
Well, it’s early in the season (in fact, the season is being stinkin’ elusive), but I feel confident declaring this my favourite new fall dessert. You all know how much I love my apple crumble, and I stand by my bold claim that it is the best ever, but this whole wheat apple crumble pizza? […]
First on the First: GATEAU BASQUE
Let me start off by saying that my knowledge of Gateau Basque is entirely limited by Google’s knowledge of Gateau Basque. Which is not to say it’s limited, because Google really knows a lot, but which is to say I’ve never actually tasted any besides my own, and Google does not do a good job […]
Saturday Sweets: Peach Raspberry Crumble Bars
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 […]
Saturday Sweets: Homemade Fudgesicles
I have to thank my BFF Alyssa for even giving me the idea to make homemade fudgesicles! I can’t remember the last time I had a fudgesicle – elementary school sports days come to mind, when we got a treat to celebrate the end of a sweaty, competitive day. I always loved the soft, chewy, […]
First on the First: ETON MESS
Well, this dessert is exactly what it sounds like: a hot mess. I had never heard of Eton Mess until learning it was our First on the First challenge for this month! Turns out it’s just a messy, easy, crowd-pleasing dessert full of strawberries, whipped cream, and meringue, a throw-together version of one of my […]
Saturday Sweets: Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt
With summer coming frozen yogurt season is here! Do you prefer ice cream or frozen yogurt? I’m a frozen yogurt girl all the way, and knowing how easy it is to make at home is daaaangerrrrous. Take some yogurt, add some mix-ins, and freeze it. Doesn’t get any easier than that, does it?! Healthier versions […]
