Are they tarts or are they mini pies? I had a hard time deciding, but since the lemon curd filling made me think of lemon pie, we’re going with mini pies. Whatever you want to call these little bites, they’re easy, they’re springy, they’re cute, and they’re gluten and dairy free! I made these last […]
Saturday Sweets: Good Grains Fruit & Oat Cookies
I’m feeling a huge sense of relief today. Yesterday I handed in a 13-page paper and officially finished my last assignment besides a final exam for my Political Psychology course. It’s funny given how much I love school how relieved I always am at the end of a semester. Suddenly my evenings are looking so […]
Hot Cross Buns
Happy Easter weekend, everyone! Hot cross buns were an Easter tradition in my house growing up, but this is the first time I’ve made them myself. I find anything involving yeast is such a commitment for me – 3+ whole hours with the same recipe? What if I want to look around? What if something […]
Best Ever Banana Muffins
It’s been too long since I posted a muffin recipe! I have been on a muffin making BINGE, and, having made every single muffin recipe known to man (ie. every muffin recipe on this blog), I then realized my mom had included a recipe in our family cookbook entitled “Best Ever Banana Muffins” which I […]
Easter Round-Up
If you’re anything like me, holidays have a way of sneaking up on you. St. Patrick’s Day? Yeah, I totally missed that green boat. I am not the blog to follow if you want holiday ideas weeks in advance, or are wondering what National Food Day you should be celebrating. I make it, I take […]
Saturday Sweets: Chocolate Cranberry Bliss Cookies
It wasn’t too long ago I made some Cranberry Bliss Cookies that I dubbed my favourite cookies so far this year. My parents were here this week so I wanted to make them again, but, finding myself with no white chocolate, I thought I was going to have to change my plans. Enter my 4-year-old helper: […]
S’mores Cookies
Oooooh, cookies. I just never get tired of cookies. Today I’m super excited to share a new favourite cookie recipe with you! These cookies have it all: a chewy soft cookie, toasty marshmallows, chocolate, and serious cute factor. While “cute” was a questionable term when I applied it to this meatloaf, it is most certainly […]
First on the First: CEREAL BIRTHDAY CAKE
Nothing says “Happy Birthday” like a big bowl of cereal, right? This is the best kind of birthday cake – all the birthday boy’s favourite flavours, tucked under a bit of whimsy to make the family smile :) When given our challenge for the month, cake decorating, I knew I would have the perfect excuse […]
Saturday Sweets: Chewy Homemade Granola Bars
I used to buy granola bars like they were going out of style. You know, the chocolate dipped ones stuffed with marshmallows, chocolate chips, and sprinkles? Those ones. Now I make granola bars like they’re going out of style. And I don’t dip them in chocolate, much as I’d sometimes like to. These aren’t a granola bar […]
Saturday Sweets: Fudgy Brownies with Cookie Dough Frosting
So I had these brownies lurking in my freezer due to what I can only assume was residual baby brain. While making the brownie layer for the base of that Brownie Cake with Coconut Meringue, I somehow ended up doubling the butter in the very first step and melting it with the chocolate, making it […]
