These are simply the best gingersnaps, because they’re classic, packed with flavour, and soft and chewy, but they don’t have cloves or nutmeg. Just ginger and cinnamon, two of the best spices known to cookies. If you like cloves and/or nutmeg, they can easily be added to this recipe (1/2 – 1 tsp of each) […]
Happy (Easter) Cookies
Easter weekend! Easter is my favourite holiday, both for the Christian background and the totally unrelated candy choices that take over the grocery stores. Although, eggs = hatching = new life…so there is some logic I suppose? Cadbury Creme Eggs and Mini Eggs have to be my favourite Easter candies, along with “Mr. Munchy”, […]
Zucchini Bread
Well, since my love of zucchini is well-established, I’ll just get right to it. This is a delicious zucchini bread I’ve been eating since I was barely walking, and even more delicious if you add a crumble topping of approx. 1 tbsp melted butter, 1/2 cup oats and 1/3 cup brown sugar…adjust to your taste, […]
Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins
I love zucchini. I’m just gonna put that out there and recommend that if you do NOT love zucchini, you not read the rest of this post, as I know some people have it in for harmless, delicious, not-that-nutritious zucchini, and I won’t have any of that attitude here. I kind of grew up on […]
Buttermilk Scones
Pretty much every time we have homemade soup, which is pretty much once a week in the winter/rainy months, we also have scones. I love scones because I don’t have to plan ahead – they can be whipped up in 15 minutes, don’t need any rising time, and cook in only 20 minutes. Ideal for […]
Lemon Raspberry Pie
By special request (Hi Jen!), it’s my ever-popular, creamy, sweet, tart no-longer-secret recipe for Lemon Raspberry Pie. Of course, when I wanted to take a picture of it that happened to be the time I forgot about it and the edges got a little brown…do as I say, not as I do, as they say. This […]
Double Chocolate Cookie Cookies
I love Oreos, and even more I love President’s Choice brand Mr. Creamy cookies. Not only is it fun to say to people, “Would you like a Mr. Creamy?“, they are also just yummier than Oreos…and cheaper too! But perhaps they can be better? What if we chop them up and use them alongside chocolate […]
Black Forest Cake
Carl loves Black Forest Cake, so for his birthday I decided to attempt to make a homemade one. I think this is one of the easiest cakes in the world to make, and this way also happens to taste better than the store can do, if I do say so myself. I love cake […]
Aaaaaaand she’s back (with cookie dough cupcakes no less)
Whew, it’s been a busy week or so! Time really does fly when you’re having fun, and, as usual, that’s all I’ve been having. Being back to school for the first time in a couple years caught up to me a little bit as I just had to write my first midterm and first paper […]
Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats
I love this chocolate-y, peanut butter-y recipe because it is an easy one to pretend is healthy. Let me convince you. It has peanut butter, rice krispies, and peanuts. And wheat germ and/or oats and/or coconut. And if you use dark chocolate it’s good for your heart and your happiness. Really, all I had to […]
