If only I could be that blogger who’s in style when it comes to food, I totally would have shared these with you around Christmas, when mint chocolate combinations and candy canes are allll the rage. But then I would also be the kind of blogger who makes Thanksgiving dinner and 25 side dishes and […]
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 […]
Saturday Sweets: Lemon Almond Tarts
Being the first of the month, I should be posting an exciting new kitchen challenge tackled this month. Sadly, the requisite steamed buns (aka bao) didn’t happen, with moving and reorganizing and realizing I needed special equipment. But these sweet little almond tarts more than make up for it! I debated for awhile on what […]
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 […]
Honey Garlic Chicken Stirfry
It’s been 5 days since my wisdom teeth came out, and I have to say it was anti-climactic. I’m sure a lot of the credit for that goes to my fantastic dental surgeon, but my preparations for several days holed up in bed certainly did not come to fruition. I should have known my control […]
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 […]
Cheesy Bacon Spinach Dip
I have a constant internal battle going on. I just can’t decide what I like better, sweet or salty. As much as I love my sweets, salty snacks like nachos or hot cheesy dips with accompanying chips or hefty sourdough bread generally hold the number one spot in my heart. Funnily enough, I almost never […]
