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 […]
Cranberry Apple Upside-Down Muffins
You know those foods that are good at any time of the day? Like pizza… pasta… chocolate? These muffins are like that. So by that reasoning, these muffins are very high on my list of deliciousness… they are perfect for breakfast, lunch or snack, since they’re not too sweet for a meal, but not too […]
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 […]
Braided Cinnamon (C)raisin Bread
Cinnamon bread has to be one of my favourite things, but I’m not the biggest fan of raisins. This is my mom’s tried-and-true recipe for Cinnamon Raisin Bread, and when she was visiting after the birth of my second baby we had this conversation. Mom: Anna, would you like me to make you some fresh bread? […]
Saturday Sweets: Chocolate Soufflés
Happy Saturday! Welcome to the 99th post, the one before the much anticipated 100th post!! Oh boy, I can hardly wait :) Over here the sun is shining, the kids are finally healthy again, the airplanes are rattling the roof thanks to the nearby Airshow, and we’re about to get another look at our new […]
Saturday Sweets: Strawberry Chocolate Meringue Torte
Amazing news we thought would never happen – we officially gave up renting and bought a house! Well, technically that is largely untrue. My in-laws bought a house, really, but we put in our small share which finds us living in a rather palatially large share. Sounds fair, right? For the first time I […]
Hazelnut (Nutella) Mousse
I’ve been a little lax in the posting department lately since things have been busy around here! My whole family is around since a new baby joined the family and my parents are here from Ontario and also celebrating 30 years of marriage, so we’re enjoying copious amounts of far-too-rare family time! Naturally, this means […]
Raspberry Lemon Layer Cake
Raspberry and lemon has to be one of the best combinations out there, and this cake is no exception. Every now and then I see something or think of something that I just know will be perfect and delicious and exactly what I feel like eating when the moment arrives to eat it. This […]
Chewy Homemade Granola Bars
Granola bars that aren’t really all that healthy are one of my favourite things. In highschool I ate so many chocolate-covered granola bars that I started having a Pavlovian-type response to the end-of-day bell; it rang, I craved a chocolate granola bar. There is something so wonderfully sneaky about those chocolate-covered granola bars: because you […]
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 […]
