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 […]
Nice Buns
I always have the best intentions of making my own bread and buns, but it pretty rarely turns into action. Not having a stand mixer is a good excuse, I figure, but not good enough, I know. There really is nothing like the sense of accomplishment when, 60 million hours after starting, you pull fresh […]
Flourless Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
Well, I told you I would make some more cookies, and I never tell a lie. I was momentarily diverted from cookies while we made our first beach trip of the season this week! K-fer got his first mouthful of gravelly sand, and badly wanted to go back for more…I’m still not sure I’m […]
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 […]
Surprise-Inside Caramilk Cookies
A chewy chocolate cookie wrapped around a piece of Caramilk chocolate bar – how wrong could we go today? Carl got this recipe from the chef father of one of the volleyball girls he coached in Ottawa, and I think it is the first time in his life he ever asked for a recipe. Being a big […]
Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins
Well, early on in my blogging, which wasn’t really that long ago so I’m not feeling too bad about how long it’s been, someone asked me about a good Raspberry Yogurt muffin recipe (Hi Alanna!). Maybe you already found one, but it has been in the back of my mind and, while this recipe […]
Saturday Sweets: Almond Fudge-Topped Shortbread
I love fudge and I love shortbread. Putting the two together can only be a good thing! Although based on yesterday’s experiences sweets are the last thing I should be eating…recap of fitness level revelations to follow on a later date. Let’s just say I have the lung capacity of an 80-year-old smoker, and things […]
Saturday Sweets: Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Even more cookies! When you make cookies every week or so, you can easily get stuck in a rut of making the same ones, so you need a LOT of great recipes to cycle through to keep everyone on their toes. I think plain ol’ chocolate chip cookies are probably my favourite food ever, and […]
Raspberry Chia Cheesecake
I am notorious for buying ingredients for recipes I intend to make and then forgetting what recipe I had in mind 3 seconds after I get my groceries home. This results in random ingredients that languish in my pantry and fridge until I notice that they are about to expire and have to put […]
Caramel Chocolate Chipper Cookies
So named because they will make you chipper. Do people still use that word? Chipper? At least, do they use it to describe moods, or just in reference to a wood chipper? Sometimes I feel “chipper” is just the perfect word for the mood du jour. Either way – more cookies! If you’re like me, […]
