Pound cake is a funny thing to me. Why would I deliberately make a cake that is dense, slightly dry, and literally weighs at least a pound?? I could probably just as easily find a brick to pour some berry sauce on, yes? But the funny thing is, there are a LOT of recipes that […]
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 […]
Best Ever Carrot Cake
You know those foods that just taste like home? Living at home, (and being a gigantic fan of cream cheese icing, and eating my vegetables in cake) this cake was definitely one of my favourites growing up. Needless to say, when I came across this recipe after not eating it for at least 6 years, […]
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 […]
Dark Chocolate Merlot Skillet Cookie / Brownies
When someone pointed out that my beloved skillet cookie, in both its original and peanut butter forms, had the equivalent ingredients to a whole BATCH of cookies, rather than think, “EW, you’re right, that’s excessive”, I thought “Oooh, you’re right, what OTHER cookie recipes could be baked in this wonderful way?!” What other cookies do […]
Boterkoek AKA Butter Cake
I hate missing an instalment of Saturday Sweets. Sweets are near and dear to my heart, and I love that they have a day around here all to themselves! (Not that sweets never make other appearances :)) But alas, sometimes there are just not enough hours in a day, or even in 3 or […]
Raspberry Plats
Are you ready for another delicious, easy recipe to add to your repertoire? Oh good. This recipe actually comes from Anna’s mother in law, who was kind enough to share it fresh out of the oven with my husband and myself when we were visiting – oh, and we let Anna and Carl have a […]
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 […]
Apple Rhubarb Crisp (Gluten Free)
Saturday! It’s my first official Saturday of always-working-Saturdays along with my other days since I’ve decided to buckle down and see if I can’t get my 600 hours in to qualify for maternity leave again…3 months to go, so as long as I can work till mid-October I should be fine! Who says no to […]
Peach Raspberry Crisp
Since I’m sure you’re all totally tired of hearing about my lovely time on holidays, I thought I’d tell you about a delicious recipe you should all make instead :) My mom made this family favourite for us to enjoy this week and was kind enough to let me photograph it before (and after) we […]
