Perfect Apple Crisp

October 20, 2012 by Anna 29 Comments

Perfect Apple Crisp

Can we all agree that apple crisp is the bomb? I could eat apple crisp every. single. day. And this week I did.  It was wonderful. You know what else I did? Graham crumbs in the topping. I told you, I’m obsessed. This is going down in history as the best apple crisp ever made, […]

Saturday Sweets: Pumpkin Layer Cake

I’m losing it. Well, I may have already lost it, but I’m giving myself the benefit of the doubt. Besides, I can’t remember if I told you in a different post that I was losing it, or if it’s the first time. If it is the first time, then I can still get away saying […]

SATURDAY SWEETS: Pumpkin Chocolate Toffee Coffee Cake

Ok, I give in. All the pumpkin recipes circling the blogging world and covering Pinterest make my head spin…and make me very, very hungry.  I’m not much of a bandwagon jumper, but this is definitely one of those times I am happy to follow the crowd – it’s a smart crowd.  It’s time to break […]

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 […]

Jumbo Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Jumbo Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

I’m pulling into my bag of past tricks for today, folks. Those recipes I made who-knows-when-ago and saved for a day like this when I had excuses.  Care to hear some? I made a pumpkin pie toffee cheesecake last night that smells and looks amazing, but it’s for a special brother-in-law/birthday boy and I don’t […]

Cookies ‘n’ Cream Cupcakes

Cookies ‘n’ Cream Cupcakes

Well, it’s officially been 11 days since my little man turned one. Photo credit: Charlene Stam Photography He hit this milestone amidst a total absence of fanfare, with a hastily-bought- morning-of-birthday gift and not even a blog post to his honour. I promised him (as if he cared) a real birthday cake and a more […]

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Can you believe it?  Yet another peanut butter cookie recipe!  You may recall my warning about the 2 kg tub of peanut butter needing to be used – sometimes I hyperbolize, but this wasn’t one of those times. My mom has been making these peanut butter cookies for as long as I can remember.  They never fail […]

Flourless Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

Flourless Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

Well, I told you I would make some more cookies, and I never tell a lie.   I was momentarily diverted from cookies while we made our first beach trip of the season this week! K-fer got his first mouthful of gravelly sand, and badly wanted to go back for more…I’m still not sure I’m […]

Magic Chocolate Toffee Squares

Magic Chocolate Toffee Squares

There really is magic in these magic squares, my friends.  Sweetened condensed milk = magic.  I have yet to find a recipe with sweetened condensed milk involved that I didn’t love.  There is just something about that sticky-sweet liquid that makes everything else taste just that much better, and these squares are no exception (not […]
