Rumor has it Chelsea has been promising more healthy meals on the blog…but until we have evidence to back that up, carry on coming over for a sweet fix! :) I do actually have several dinner recipes I can’t wait to share with you, and am so happy to be back on meal planning track […]
Mrs. Dykstra’s Amazing Brownies
Happy new year everyone!! I have been seriously slacking on my blogging duties for the last couple weeks, as I holidayed to the max with family and friends over Christmas and New Years, but now I am so excited to be back at it! Anna and I also had a great chance to catch up […]
Serious S’mores Bars
I’ve had sex-in-a-pan, and I have to say it was disappointing. I’m not the biggest pudding fan, nor do I want to be eating pudding after someone has just mentioned the word sex. With that wildly inappropriate intro, let me get to the point before I lose you – THESE are worthy of a terrible […]
Fluffy Homemade Marshmallows
Happy New Year! My resolution: keep trying new things in the kitchen. Done and done. This year should be a breeze! I never thought I would be able to say, “I made homemade marshmallows”. But then again, I never really thought much about it at all. I have other things to think about. Like cheese. […]
Whipped & Dipped Shortbread
Do you have any secret family recipes that you don’t want anyone getting their hands on? A recipe you love to make for people to enjoy, but only want them to enjoy in your presence? A favourite treat that no one else’s can ever compare to? This Whipped Shortbread is that for me. This is […]
Ham & Lentil Soup
I hope you all had a great Christmas dinner or three! I am still beyond full from the two I enjoyed, neither of which I had to prepare, although I did make large quantities of these potatoes, Chocolate Ecstasy, and Pumpkin Toffee Cheesecake. Now the leftovers sitting in my fridge make me sad I don’t […]
The gift of wrapping // Raspberry and White Chocolate Nanaimo Bars
There are many things I can do. I can count by twos and tie my shoes. I can zip zippers and button buttons. But I cannot. Am unable. Find it impossible. To wrap presents. In even half of a presentable way. It’s true. My presents are not presentable. Every Christmas I come at the job […]
Saturday Sweets: Apple Streusel Coffee Cake
Did you all think I might get sick of streusel one day? After eating these scones (my favourite breakfast), this cake, and these muffins? NEEEVVVVVERRRRRRRR!! Mmmm, streuselly streuselly streusel. Coommmme to meeeee. Ahem. Remember awhile back when I scads of apples and made apple pie filling? Yeah, don’t worry, I didn’t remember either. That’s what happens […]
Whole Wheat Buns with Chia Seeds
I love homemade buns more than any sweet I could ever make. I know that’s saying a lot, but given the choice of fresh homemade bread or buns vs. baking I would choose the buns every time. There’s nothing that beats the smell of homemade bread baking, and nothing that beats a warm, fresh piece […]
The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap: Empire Cookies
I was so excited to participate in the First (Annual?) Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap this year! This online event took off with amazing speed, and resulted in more than 22,000 delicious being shipped all over the world! Pretty amazing, right?? Of course, after signing up I immediately went into planning mode as to what […]
