Simple Cinnamon Buns Recipe…In my last post I mentioned that one of my pregnancy cravings has been cinnamon. I’ve been baking the same cinnamon bun recipe over and over and over again, all throughout this pregnancy! They turn out perfectly every single time and are devoured within moments, there are never any leftovers…
Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies…If you’re looking for the perfect simple chocolate chip cookie for some quarantine baking, I’ve got the recipe for you. This is by far my family’s favourite recipe; my husband recognizes the aroma when he comes home from work and there’s usually half a dozen eaten off the cooling tray within minutes of his arrival. They use basic, everyday ingredients—so no unnecessary trips to the grocery store—and the recipe can actually be used for many other types of cookies…
Jelly Roll Cake Raspberry…It’s New Year’s Eve, and I am a believer in the superstition that the way you spend your day is an indication of how your year will be. So rather than doing a super complicated recipe with tonnes of ingredients and hours of prep work and decorating, I thought I’d share something that’s simple, elegant, delicious and easy: Raspberry Jelly Roll Cake. You must have something yummy to celebrate with, but who’s got time to be baking all day when there are hairdos to set, winged liner to master, and a fabulous red lip awaiting tonight’s festivities…
Macaroons: Martha Stewart vs Anna Olson…One of the greatest confusions of the world is the difference between macarons and macaroons. I feel it is my duty to spread goodwill and educate the masses on the crucial difference between the two types of cookies. My aim is to save anyone from using the wrong hashtag and looking oh so foolish to us cookie aficionados in the know…
Pear Upside Down Cake…It’s Easter weekend, which in our house means lots of Church, lots of chocolate, lots of family, and lots of silly fun! Though you wouldn’t know it was spring by looking out the window this morning; it’s still a frigid winter wonderland out there…
Fool Proof Chocolate Macarons…It’s chocolate macaron time: spring is in the air, the snow is melting, Easter is around the corner. There’s nothing more perfect for spring than a delicate and delicious macaron cookie, and these chocolate ones are amazingly rich and decadent…
Checkerboard cookie recipe…It’s Valentine’s Day, and in our house that means there will be a special baked treat: checkerboard cookies! For the last few years my husband and I have a deal that in lieu of gifts for each other he cooks a special dinner and I bake a special dessert for us to enjoy together. It’s become a really nice tradition and we like that we are doing something less commercial than typical…
Rum Balls…Dark Rum balls: the ultimate Christmas treat. Of all the baking I do for the men on my husband’s crew at work, these are the favourite, hands down. Last year I made 200 and they were devoured in hours….
Gingerbread Cookies with Pepper…No Christmas Cookie Exchange is complete without a spicy gingerbread cookie piped with white royal icing. There’s just something about crunching into these cookies and tasting the deep molasses flavours that epitomizes the holiday for me. While you’re baking and decorating have a mug of mulled wine (or virgin eggnog for us breastfeeding moms!) with Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas” on the radio and your home will truly be a winter wonderland.
Gingerbread Bars Recipe…Christmas is coming and that means it’s baking season. Every year without fail I make the same three favourite recipes: gingerbread bars, gingerbread cookies, and rum balls (stay tuned for links!). My husband isn’t a sweets guy, but even he can’t resist these delicious Christmas desserts…
