I love sugar cookies intensely. Sadly, I feel almost as intensely about my dislike of rolling out dough and cutting shapes and decorating individual cookies. I have three littles, so they’re either helping (or hindering) me, or I’m trying to get something done by myself as quickly as possible. Also, they have a thing for sprinkles […]
Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Tart
THREE YEARS, guys. Can you believe it’s been 3 whole years since this little blog began as just another wordpress site? What started as a whim to keep in touch with family and friends far and wide has grown into something I schedule into my weeks and look forward to spending time on. I’m a […]
A Canadian Resolution: Homemade Bread (Molasses Oat Bread Recipe)
With a new year, many people are focused on new resolutions, or the revival of old resolutions that were cast to the wayside at some point in the last year or years. This month’s Canadian Food Experience Challenge focuses on resolutions, and when it comes to food resolutions, the one I’ve made (and broken) the […]
Saturday Sweets: Gingerbread Drop Cookies
Know what I love? Gingerbread cookies. Know what I don’t love? Rolling out dough, using cookie cutters, and decorating cookies. What’s a girl to do? Enter these: These gingerbread drop cookies are the perfect answer. I have a gingersnap recipe I love, but they aren’t quite exactly like gingerbread. These cookies are more gingerbread-man-like: thicker, […]
Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake
Happy New Year! What better way to start off the year than with a sticky caramel cake? New Years for many is full of resolutions about the sorts of food you will be eating, or not eating, but my resolution in that regard remains the same as always – eat a healthy, balanced diet, enjoy […]
Pomegranate Bliss Cookies
Cranberry Bliss Bars are everywhere this time of year, and I tried my first ever actual Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bar a couple weeks ago. It was blissful. Last year I made Cranberry Bliss Cookies and Chocolate Cranberry Bliss Cookies, and both were a big hit and I’ve made them many times since. This is a […]
My Favourite Chocolate Chip Cookie
If you follow me on Facebook (you should – I would love to hit 1000 fans by Christmas!), you already know I got my wisdom teeth out on Wednesday. I was only wise enough to grow three, thankfully, so this was no 4-wisdom-teeth-story: The missing wisdom tooth was one of the pesky bottom ones, so […]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Cupcakes
I am stuck in the vicious cycle of emptying my dishwasher just so that I can immediately fill it back up and start it again. This cycle is lousy because it means I’m not emptying my dishwasher in the morning, so dishes are piling up all day just waiting for me to give in and […]
Pumpernickel (Guest post by Mom!)
The end is in sight. Just 25-30 more pages of papers, two group presentations, a case brief, and one more final exam and then this semester is history in just 2 short weeks. I’m still not sure how all that can possibly happen in the next 2 weeks while the rest of life also happens, […]
Saturday Sweets: Double Chocolate Zucchini Cookies
There is a lady at my church who knows exactly how to beat cancer. She is dealing with her second round of cancer right now and, humanly speaking, it is a miracle she is still alive. While I don’t know her well, I feel honoured to know her at all, and hope if I ever […]
