I don’t make the “best ever” claim often, but as something of a Nanaimo bar fanatic, I have tried, and will continue to try, many a Nanaimo bar in many a place, and, call me biased, but I like mine the best. Ever. Ok, not MINE, per se, since actually my Mom developed this recipe to […]
Saturday Sweets: Oreo Trifle
You know those days where you want to eat a whole box of Oreos? In extra creamy, extra delicious form? Well, today is one of those lucky days! This trifle is nothing short of an Oreo lover’s dream, and is also super easy to put together! It’s a win-win in the Oreo world, that is […]
Happy Cookies
Who doesn’t want to eat happiness? I know I do. You may know these as peanut butter blossoms, kiss cookies, or any other number of names – they’re a popular cookie with many variations, including my mini egg ones for Easter. Growing up, one of my sisters dubbed these “happy cookies”, and the name stuck. In […]
Saturday Sweets: PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP SQUARES
So I have no idea what day it is, ever. One week into being at home and all semblance of routine seems oh so long ago. Now I’m understanding why my mom did laundry on Mondays and Thursdays, grocery shopping on Tuesdays, and housework on Fridays – she just needed something to mark which day […]
Saturday Sweets: Peanutty Candy Bars
It was just going to be one of those unassuming days at Zellers, soon to be officially Target. I just needed a buggy to cart around little b and the spoils of what was going to be a large shopping trip. Turns out that their buggies need to swallow a loonie in order to be […]
Homemade Peppermint Patties
So, I’m going to be honest. This post makes me nervous. Not because of the recipe (pure deliciousness), but because the First on the First challenge this month was to make candy of any type. Anna assured me that these are, indeed candy, since they are enrobed in something (in this case, delicious chocolate), so […]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Skillet Cookie
Skillet cookies. Also known as the reason I bought a cast iron skillet. Also known as the reason I no longer fit a size zero skirt (that could also be because I’m not 17 anymore). Also known as how to win friends and influence people with only one dish and 30 minutes from “hey, we […]
Saturday Sweets: S’mores Oat Bars
Yesterday I put on my skinny jeans and had a moment of realization. I am not skinny anymore. I wore them uncomfortably all day, but it’s officially time to retire that particular pants option until after this baby is born. And if I can’t wear the skinny jeans anyway, it’s really time to go crazy […]
Saturday Sweets: Gluten Free Molten Lava Cakes
What if I told you that I have found a delicious cake recipe, that is gluten free, dairy free, and sugar free? Crazy, right? You’re probably thinking what I did. How can anything that is gluten free, dairy free and sugar free taste even close to delicious. C’est impossible. Madness. Wiggety Whack. Well, all you […]
Saturday Sweets: Calico Squares
There are few things that make me crazier than hair in my dishwater. Tell me I’m not alone in this? I do not have a dishwasher at my disposal, and I actually don’t really mind doing the dishes, but, when there is a hair in the water, it gives me the heebies in the very […]
