Whipped & Dipped Shortbread
Do you have any secret family recipes that you don’t want anyone getting their hands on? A recipe you love to make for people to enjoy, but only want them to enjoy in your presence? A favourite treat that no one else’s can ever compare to? This Whipped Shortbread is that for me. This is […]

The gift of wrapping // Raspberry and White Chocolate Nanaimo Bars
There are many things I can do. I can count by twos and tie my shoes. I can zip zippers and button buttons. But I cannot. Am unable. Find it impossible. To wrap presents. In even half of a presentable way. It’s true. My presents are not presentable. Every Christmas I come at the job […]

Orange Nanaimo Bars
Do you love Nanaimo bars? I do. I’ve seen many a good diets fall as helpless prey to a plate of nanaimo bars. You know what else I love? Orange chocolate. I search them out in the Pot of Gold boxes (I have to be faster than Anna), and I only really enjoy it around […]
Mmmmaking mmmmarvelous mmmmmorning mmmuffins
It’s true. I don’t know what to call these muffins. Besides delicious, that is! Sorry, that was awful, even for me. But truth be told, there is so much goodness in them, that there is no suitable name. However, I’m pretty sure if you ever come back to our site and want to find back […]
