Tis the season of some of the most gorgeous berries around! These scones can be made year-round with frozen berries, but you’ll want some fresh raspberry chia jam to spread on them and today is the perfect day to take 5 minutes to make that. I’m off to do just that with my sister, and try […]
Raspberry Chia Bran Muffins
You just never know what random things will have a major impact on your life, something you never saw coming, something that makes each and every day a little better. My sister swears by bra fittings and eyebrow threading: I add to the list good socks. Good socks, my friends, are something I never had until […]
Perfect Rhubarb Muffins
Let’s talk about classics that never go out of style. A good pair of jeans. One well-cut blazer. A pair of diamond studs. Nude peep-toe pumps. A pencil skirt. Some things are just classics, things every girl would use over and over and over again if she invested in them (and didn’t change size too […]
Chocolate Cranberry Sweet Rolls with Orange Glaze
Well, I now have something besides a baby on which to blame my ever-and-rapidly-expanding girth. Sweet roll baking has completely taken over bread baking in my life and kitchen, and I’m not even sorry. Leftover cranberry sauce has to be one of my favourite leftovers, and these sweet rolls are proof of why. Just thinking […]
Lemon Poppyseed Scones
I always forget how short February is, and am pleasantly surprised when March sneaks up on us in no time. I think February may actually be my favourite month. The beginning of the month has stores full of pink, red, hearts, teddy bears, and sprinkles, which makes for the best grocery shopping days ever. When […]
Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Scones
It’s been too long since we talked breakfast recipes! Not that long, you say? A week is long when we don’t talk breakfast, my friends. Breakfast isn’t called the fuel of champions for nothing. Actually, I made that up, it’s not even called that. But champions do eat breakfast, and that’s a fact. Some champions […]
Pumpkin Almond Granola
Remember in November when you wanted to gag at the sight of yet another pumpkin recipe? Yeah, me too. I got into pumpkin late this year because I was just so sick of all the pumpkin featured in every possible baked or cooked good. I made my tried and true pumpkin recipes but revolted on […]
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 […]
Cinnamon Roll Muffins
I’m not sure I know anyone who would turn down a fresh cinnamon roll. However, I know plenty of people who, like me, pretty much never GET a fresh cinnamon roll because ugh, yeast. Yeast is an amazing beast and I stand in awe of it’s leavening power and the unique smell and flavour it […]
Apple Grape Upside-Down Muffins
How often do you use grapes in baking? I can’t say I ever have before now. To be honest, I can’t say it’ll be a regular occurrence around here either, because grapes usually disappear rapidly in their natural form. But this summer I got some wild grapes from my sister-in-law (or at least, backyard grapes, […]
