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
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
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 […]
Saturday Sweets: Chocolate Soufflés
Happy Saturday! Welcome to the 99th post, the one before the much anticipated 100th post!! Oh boy, I can hardly wait :) Over here the sun is shining, the kids are finally healthy again, the airplanes are rattling the roof thanks to the nearby Airshow, and we’re about to get another look at our new […]
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
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
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 […]
